The day of Mei's first "Show and Tell" at school was a milestone that both Wen and Kai were determined not to miss. Mei had chosen to bring her favorite drawing of their family in Shanghai, complete with the city's glowing skyline and a detailed rendering of their home. She was thrilled to share her world with her classmates, her excitement contagious.
When the day arrived, Wen and Kai took time off to attend, standing at the back of the classroom as Mei proudly presented her drawing.
"This is my family," Mei announced, her eyes sparkling as she pointed to each figure. "That's my mama and baba, and this is me. We live in Shanghai, where the lights are always bright!"
Wen felt a swell of pride as she watched Mei confidently share her art, seeing the joy and security that came from their love and support. It was a simple moment, but one that captured the essence of their family life—a life that balanced ambition with presence, success with love.
After the presentation, Mei ran over to them, her face beaming with excitement. "Did you see, Mama? Baba? Everyone liked my drawing!"
Kai scooped her up in a hug, his face glowing with pride. "You did amazing, Mei. You're our little artist."
The experience reminded Wen and Kai of the importance of being present for these moments, of creating a life where both work and family could coexist in harmony. They left the school that day with hearts full, grateful for the simple joys of family life and the memories they were creating together.
