廖碧兰油画：我成长的故事 Dragon’s Daughter - 3

出生在新中國
1954年，我出生的时候，长沙遭遇了百年一遇的大洪水。父亲和祖母在家里接生了我。 桃姐和和强哥在外面玩水。听到婴儿的哭声，他们兴奋的跑上楼去见他们的妹妹。很幸运，父亲是一名医生, 祖母出生於書香門第，精通中医。 我雕刻了自己的婴儿浮雕。 妈妈的雙手轻轻扶着我的头。 虽然我出生在可怕的洪水滔天的日子，但家人的温暖在欢迎我来到这个嶄新的世界。

I was born in New China. When I was born, Changsha suffered a once-in-a-century flood. I was delivered at home by my father and grandmother. Sister Tao and Brother Qiang were playing in the water outside. They heard the baby cry and ran upstairs excited to meet their sister. I was lucky. My father was a doctor, and my grandmother was born in a scholarly family and was proficient in Chinese medicine. I sculpted a cameo of myself as a newborn baby. My mother's hand gently supported me. Although I was born on the day of the terrible flood, the warmth of my family was welcoming me to this new world.
