They both do so much for me that I don’t even realize because I am so used to having them done for me since I was little. They take me and my sisters on family vacations every year, making meals for me every day, helping me with my homework when I ask for help, and so much more. They always put their children before themselves and always are there whenever we need someone to talk to. I know that I can go to them whenever and for anything. My parents help me so much, I love my parents a lot and I’m very grateful for all that they do for me

Over the years education changes alot and Moying is getting a better education than most people that would have been in Lao Lao's time. Moying Li’s education is much different than Lao Lao. Moying said, “I had been among some one hundred children selected to attend the Foreign Language School” (42). Moying Li’s school was a very ordered boarding school. When Moying was in school revolts occured on school property because people thought that the teachers were focused on capitalism. Classes becoming more and more irregular as teachers did not feel safe coming to school.

Culture was very diffrent from Lao Lao's time to Moying's time. Moying Li’s culture was stricter that Lao Lao’s because Moying Li's was influenced by Chairman Mao. Not many people in Moying’s culture had bound feet and most were educated unlike Lao Lao’s culture. Chairman Mao said that the only English book to be read is Mao’s Little Red Book. Also in Lao Lao’s culture there was gifts, fireworks, and lots of food during the new year, but in Moying’s it was a minimum. The love for their culture and education was the only similarities between their cultures.

Lao Lao's Tianzu was different in China. Her auntie gave Lao Lao a present and when she opened it she was surprised find rolls of white linen cloth. She informed Lao Lao, "This will hurt, but after a while the pain will go away'" (25). Her auntie began to fold Lao Lao’s toes under her feet hard and was wrapping the cloth; it hurt so bad Lao Lao ran outside. Zu Ye could not tolerate watching his daughter go through that much pain so Lao Lao never had bound feet. People reacted to her tianzu in a surprisingly manner, Lao Lao was able to run around with the kids. Her father had a lot of trouble finding her a husband because of her feet.

Moying lives with Lao Lao and feels safe and secure with her.Lao Lao was Moying’s surrogate mother. She was the one who would comfort her and protect her, and Moying always felt safe in her arms. Even with the lack of money Lao Lao made sure Moying and her brother Di Di had enough food to eat, even if it meant killing the animals' she loved so much. Lao Lao stood up to the Red Guards who barged into her house. The soldier's said “What have you done to the poster? How dare you destroy it” (63) Lao Lao would not let them bother her. Moying know's that her grandmother does so much for her and is really grateful for her.
