Where are you from?

Where are you from?
Everytime, when people ask me this sentence, I always feel unsettled, nervous and confused. It is really hard to convey or convince other people where or what "Taiwan" is. Because even askimg myself, I don't know where I come from.

I admit I was born in Taiwan, a familar but far away island. I had ever had strong belief in our political position, but now I doubt..

When I sat in the local elementary school and watched the Caucasian teacher taught African-American kids "Who are our American Heroes?" for the first time, I felt deeply depressed. Because I don't know who is my "Hero?" or do we believe the "Hero?"
