酷我-北美枫

[ericcoliu]

My three stories have generated an enthusiastic outpouring of diverse letters from readers. Below are two excerpts from Letters to the Editor:


The other piece to catch my attention was “Border Crossings” by Chen-ou Liu. It tells a huge story so simply. I’ve heard that truth so often; that an immigrant never feels at home until he or she either visited the homeland again or, as in the case in this poem, gone somewhere else and returned to recognize home. It’s a revealing little poem.

Sincerely,
Kay Parley


In Issue #65, there were several stories by recent immigrants from Asia. That’s the NEW face of Canada and I think fits very well in a CANADIAN STORIES magazine.

I’m especially thinking of the stories by Chen-ou Liu. In “My Mother’s Dream” it is so poignantly told of the emotions of parting when a member of a family leaves for a distant land. I have often wondered why my ancestors left Europe and how difficult it must have been for them and for the ones left behind. But that was so far in the past that there was none left to ask. I also liked the story, “Life In Transition”. As one who loves nature and observes as much as I can, it was enlightening to me to learn that a maple tree can teach such important lesson. “Border Crossings” expressed so much in so few words. It was beautiful!
