Wei and Lina immigrated to America in 1988 and settled down in Pennsylvania. They spend 15 years there, and despite starting out poor and feeling like foreigners, they build a life for themselves, become fluent in English, buy their own house, and prosper in their careers. Lina remembers suburban America with a nostalgic fondness and thinks that it was a beautiful place.
