在明尼苏达州时,我们才二十多岁,虽然在学历上,我们在美国,可以上研究所,但是在对社会的认知上,很多很多事情,因为太年轻,又是大洋彼岸来的,不懂,也因为忙着谋生,没时间去懂、去体验,不懂就算了。然而现在来重新检视,之前看到的种种事情,才发现过去这五十年,我个人从少年,中年到老年,美国的社会,也从保守到极端自由。

当然也有记载些,在台湾长大时儿时的回忆。

作为在台湾长大的,美籍华人,作为大时代中的小人物,我在此书中记载下来,我五十年来目睹之现象,也希望读者也能和我一起品尝异国他乡的甜酸苦辣;是生活的流水账,也是野史/历史。

后来,从2005年到现在,我住在南加州,这里有一百万的华人,由于工作是在房地产方面,我见到了很多新移民,也写下了些感想:大事方面,次贷危机,大麻屋,耐旱花园等经验;小事方面,也尽量提及,希望这些经验和观察,能够对新来乍到的新移民,有一点帮助。

同时,也写些个人参悟到的,好好过日子的方法/想法。希望对人们有些帮助。

居晓玉,原名居维豫,美籍华人作家,台北第一女中、台湾大学化学系毕业,美国德州美以美大学硕士。目前定居于美国加利福尼亚州。

二○○七年以后,作者服务于南加州房地产公司和教学,除了教导房地产知识,也教孩子们唱歌。二○一七年九月在西来大学大礼堂主办《英语唐诗宋词歌唱比赛》;二○一九出版《英语唐诗宋词歌谱》。

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
