Suffolk doctor sometimes had to sit on separate tables

BritishChinese I identify as mixed-race East Asian and European. My Mum is from the UK and grew up on a farm in the rural Essex Suffolk border. My Dad was born near Canton now called Guangzhou in South China and moved to Hong Kong with his family when he was young to escape the difficulties with the Chinese government and the rise of the Communist party. Dad moved to the UK in the 60s with some of his siblings, to work in Chinese restaurants.

Unfortunately, when I was growing up, my Mum was mistreated for marrying a foreigner, and I even never felt accepted by my Dad and some of my Chinese family. I was very aware even as a very young child, I looked different and didnt fit in with my Chinese relatives.

Combining cultures was something my Mum encouraged, but my brothers and I were kept quite separate from the Chinese side of the family. My Dad did not speak to us in Cantonese, and at family gatherings like New Year, we didnt understand conversations, and we were treated differently and sometimes had to sit on separate tables. Even at an early age, I understood how isolating being different could be and all the doubts that it brings. It was hard to observe how differently my Chinese cousins were treated by their parents. At home with my Mum and brothers or Grandparents was the only place I felt genuinely accepted until I started to make close bonds with friends at school. Even then, I never felt as good as my blonde blue-eyed schoolmates.
