三冬四夏
且挨過三冬四夏，雪盡後再看梅花。

在談及申請加拿大移民，尤其是技術移民這一暢行無阻的途徑時，英語或法語的嫻熟程度被譽為決定性的關鍵。成績的輝煌，分數的攀升，無疑是通向加拿大的黃金大道。然而，在這移民的波瀾壯闊海域中，通過配偶團聚抵港的我猶如一匹逃離漁網的小魚兒，為這幸福的航程留下了一抹別樣的印記。
我發現自己身處幸運的同時，也深感艱難。幸運之處在於，我所經曆的移民申請過程仿佛是一場輕鬆的遊戲，以真摯的愛情擊敗了繁文縟節。然而，艱難之處則在於我對英語的陌生，這使我在適應新的生活中倍感吃力。無論是逛街購物，還是麵對病患求醫，英語都成了一座高聳的語言障礙大山。盡管我勤奮參加語言培訓，卻依然難以在全英語工作環境中遊刃有餘，隻得從華人企業開始謹慎邁進。
文化的差異更是另一道難關，不僅僅是語言的屏障，更因我性格內向，無法輕鬆建立社交關係，從而深陷於融入當地文化的困境。過去所傲視的硬實力在這片新的土地上無法發揮得淋漓盡致，而軟實力在異國他鄉卻顯得水土不服，給我帶來了深深的挫敗感。
或許我並非一位言辭俱佳、口若懸河的言辭家，英語的障礙讓我在溝通中有時顯得力不從心。然而，正是這份沉默的力量，讓我學會聆聽，學會了通過眼神、微笑和手勢表達自己的思想。
在與陌生文化的碰撞中，我嚐到了種種困惑，但也學到了一種更為深刻的理解和寬容。這不僅是一段關於適應的旅程，更是一場對自我的深刻拷問。相信隻要努力用心，也可以演奏出一曲屬於自己的移民交響曲。
I have excellent language skills. Thus I could immerse and adapt quickly into the local life and I don't have cultural barriers because I was an outlier in China.
I never fully adapted to the customs in China as a young adult. So when I came here there was no problem shedding the past influences.
I mean if I had moved to Russia I'd turn into a Russian as well because of my superb language skills. I could be discerned as a local person no different from the others in a couple of years. There are a lot of indigenous people from the Far East part of Russia. Some of them move to Moscow to work but all speak perfect Russian. I could speak some basic Russian and read well. It's just a matter of time that I could speak fluently. Just imagine if I have chosen a different path to emigrate to Russia or Ukraine! Life could be totally different but equally amazing.
Before I came to the U.S I already spoke perfect English, only lack of the colloquial part. I went to college, worked different jobs, married, divorced and joined the military. Then I married again, had multiple children and settled on American life for good. There's never any doubt that I would be part of this world, and not the other world 8000 miles away. I don't have a technology background, but I have a determination to emigrate and immigrate. I wanted to be free of Chinese people and Chinese life. I wanted to be free of my parents and relatives too. Their embrace is suffocating to me. I don't want to be the only child anymore. And I made it to the ends with little means.
