Dad

My dad's name is Qingjing Lin. He was born in Xiamen, China. My grandfather was a carpenter. My dad's family was very poor when he was young. My grandfather had ten children. But only six of them survive. My dad has three elder brothers, one younger brother and one younger sister. All three of his elder brothers left China during the Chinese Civil War in the 1940s.

My dad went to Peking University to study Physics in 1953. He was the first one in his family to attend college. After he graduated, he worked at the Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing as an engineer. He and his colleagues designed the first computer for China. In 1987, my dad went to work at SEG Corporation at Shenzhen. He retired in 1994.

My dad is a quiet person. He likes to practice Chinese calligraphy and enjoys having Chinese chess games with his neighbors. He also follows the NBA games closely. Michael Jordan is his favorite basket ball player.
