It was my love for words that inspired me to become a journalist.   My parents, brothers and I are first-generation Chinese-Americans from Hong Kong and I spoke only Cantonese until I discovered American television shows and started kindergarten.   My grandfather had come to America during the California Gold Rush and my great-grandfather had helped to build the Trans-Continental Railroad.
