Description: Date Recorded: July 15, 2016; Location Recorded: Jamaica, Queens; Yuan Shi came from Shanghai, China. She migrated to the US in 1986. In this clip, she recalls her mother always humming songs while patching and sewing garments for her three brothers. Yuan fell in love with the songs and asked her mother about them. Her mother told her the song came from this big book and promised to teach Yuan when she grows up, but her mother never told her what it was. Yuan later found out the song was a Christian hymn and the book her mother referred to was the bible. Her mother couldn't tell her back then because religious belief was sensitive in China at that time. Recorded in Mandarin Chinese.
