 A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn"t seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don"t you look like your room?" Ida was sent to her adopted (收养) family in Sweden right after she was born.She really didn"t know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents. During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider. As she grew older, she accepted (接受) who she was. Still, she wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn"t always easy for her. Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it"s worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life. |
