My grandpa was born in a small village in Shandong. He lived in a small house1 his grandparents, his parents and his two brothers, they lived a2life at that time.
They were often hungry3there wasn't enough food for such a big family, his two brothers didn't go to school so they couldn't4or write, their parents had no5to send them to school. My grandpa went to school when he was eleven and6years later he had to leave school at the age of fourteen.
As the age of fifteen he7in a shoe factory, the factory was far from home, it took him almost an hour8there. Also at that time he met my grandma and then they married.9They had four children.
"10was not easy then but we felt happy," my grandpa often says.
