Cross-cultural us
Why do we become what we are?
a Naxi boy who speaks hardly any Naxi
a Yi girl who initially resented changing to Yi on her hukou
and a Lisu girl who spoke mainly Bai at her home?
Migration, moving, and immobility of some sort.
She, my mother moved, away from the Naxi's heartland.
She, the Yi's mother married into a Han community.
She, the Lisu's father and mother married and settled in a Bai area.
