且挨过三冬四夏，雪尽后再看梅花。

在谈及申请加拿大移民，尤其是技术移民这一畅行无阻的途径时，英语或法语的娴熟程度被誉为决定性的关键。成绩的辉煌，分数的攀升，无疑是通向加拿大的黄金大道。然而，在这移民的波澜壮阔海域中，通过配偶团聚抵港的我犹如一匹逃离渔网的小鱼儿，为这幸福的航程留下了一抹别样的印记。
我发现自己身处幸运的同时，也深感艰难。幸运之处在于，我所经历的移民申请过程仿佛是一场轻松的游戏，以真挚的爱情击败了繁文缛节。然而，艰难之处则在于我对英语的陌生，这使我在适应新的生活中倍感吃力。无论是逛街购物，还是面对病患求医，英语都成了一座高耸的语言障碍大山。尽管我勤奋参加语言培训，却依然难以在全英语工作环境中游刃有余，只得从华人企业开始谨慎迈进。
文化的差异更是另一道难关，不仅仅是语言的屏障，更因我性格内向，无法轻松建立社交关系，从而深陷于融入当地文化的困境。过去所傲视的硬实力在这片新的土地上无法发挥得淋漓尽致，而软实力在异国他乡却显得水土不服，给我带来了深深的挫败感。
或许我并非一位言辞俱佳、口若悬河的言辞家，英语的障碍让我在沟通中有时显得力不从心。然而，正是这份沉默的力量，让我学会聆听，学会了通过眼神、微笑和手势表达自己的思想。
在与陌生文化的碰撞中，我尝到了种种困惑，但也学到了一种更为深刻的理解和宽容。这不仅是一段关于适应的旅程，更是一场对自我的深刻拷问。相信只要努力用心，也可以演奏出一曲属于自己的移民交响曲。
I have excellent language skills. Thus I could immerse and adapt quickly into the local life and I don't have cultural barriers because I was an outlier in China.
I never fully adapted to the customs in China as a young adult. So when I came here there was no problem shedding the past influences.
I mean if I had moved to Russia I'd turn into a Russian as well because of my superb language skills. I could be discerned as a local person no different from the others in a couple of years. There are a lot of indigenous people from the Far East part of Russia. Some of them move to Moscow to work but all speak perfect Russian. I could speak some basic Russian and read well. It's just a matter of time that I could speak fluently. Just imagine if I have chosen a different path to emigrate to Russia or Ukraine! Life could be totally different but equally amazing.
Before I came to the U.S I already spoke perfect English, only lack of the colloquial part. I went to college, worked different jobs, married, divorced and joined the military. Then I married again, had multiple children and settled on American life for good. There's never any doubt that I would be part of this world, and not the other world 8000 miles away. I don't have a technology background, but I have a determination to emigrate and immigrate. I wanted to be free of Chinese people and Chinese life. I wanted to be free of my parents and relatives too. Their embrace is suffocating to me. I don't want to be the only child anymore. And I made it to the ends with little means.
