From the original post on Koffeemocha.

A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

A surprised remark about Chinese television in a Shanghai Disneyland hotel sends the family into laughter. For a moment, Kefei’s familiar association with Disneyland has placed him on the wrong side of the world.

The confusion opens memories of visiting a theme park with his daughter and watching the experience repeat with his grandchildren. Across Shanghai, Pleasanton, and New York, the essay locates home in shared affection and generational echoes.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
