Yes. I come from what I believe is today called Suzhou. In my time, it is the kingdom of Wu.

I cannot converse very well in English yet. I only know enough to ask simple questions and carry on very small conversations. I haven't been getting anywhere.

It is easier for me to read than it is for me to speak.
