What is the purpose of my life?

I'm lucky to be in this world. My grandmother gave birth to 11 children, only 3 survived. My mother is one of the lucky ones. My mother gave birth to me right after the big famine. She didn't have milk, and there was no formular to buy. She fed me with just rice milk at the beginning of my life. That was severely malnutrition for a newborn. I feel so lucky to have normal intelligence and health. I don't know what is the purpose of my life but I do feel my life is worth living.

When I was little there was no electricity, no running water. We barely have enough food to eat. The USA is my country's biggest enemy. Now China is the world second biggest economy, and Chinese people are living in modern, rich, and a comfortable life. I’m here living in the USA and doing what most Americans do. Experiencing so many changes in the world. That makes my life worth living.

My family, friends, and all other people I met in my life taught me how to like, love, respect, help, show kindness. Connected with these people makes my life worth living.

I remember when I was young, people made comments, saying you are so serious. Little by little I realize that I'm going to die anyway, why experience life as a journey or a game.  Be able to enjoy every day little things and keep  learning and keep growing. That makes my life worth living.
