W: Tony, can I ask you a personal question?
M: About what?
W: Well, I was wondering about how you are received here in China.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, since you are Chinese-Canadian and only speak English and French well, how do native Chinese treat you?
M: Oh, well, sometimes it can get pretty difficult. When people find out that I'm a Canadian citizen who can't speak Chinese well，they usually call me a banana. You know, yellow on the outside and white on the inside.
W: How does that make you feel?
M: Well，I first feel mad. Then I feel sad，for I'm seen as someone who has forgotten his roots. All this is because my parents left to find a better life, and I decided to return in order to find something I lost. Sometimes I'm not sure if I like what I've found.

M: Well, I'm glad you're finally back. I was wondering what happened.
W: I feel kind of stupid.
M: Why?
W: We got lost coming back. I guess I don't really know this town yet.
M: You got lost. You' re kidding!
W: No. We took a wrong turn somewhere. And Joseph doesn't know the town at all. So I started giving him directions. But I didn't really know where we were. So we got seriously lost.
M: You could have called.
W: I know I could have. But finally we asked someone where we were.
M: You've been gone for two hours. How could you get lost for so long?
W: Guess where we ended up.
M: I don5t know. Where?
W: When we finally decided to ask someone, they told us we were in Granger Field.
M: Granger Field! You were in Granger Field? That's a completely different town! It is like a dozen miles away from here.
W: I know it is. But I still don't know how it happened.
