Plum
blossom and Snow
A name is the first gift that your
parents give to you and it is the first love from your family members. I have a
beautiful name which was given to me by my father. My name is Xuemei Gao, and I
love this name very much. Please do not ask me why my family name is Gao
because I inherited it from my father and my father got this from my
grandfather. It means high, and there was a dynasty called Gao in ancient
China. In addition, my first name includes a kind of special flower, which
blooms in the cold winter. I heard a story from my grandmother many years ago.
When my father carried me home from the hospital, he was surprised to see a
line of plum trees. There were a number of red plum blossom flowers in the tree
with white snow. Therefore, he did not hesitate about his daughter`s name
anymore. He decided to give Xuemei to me as my first name, which means “Plum
blossom flowers with innocent snow”, and he was so proud to give me this
wonderful name.
In fact, I love my name just like I
love my family. Moreover, I miss my hometown, which has plum blossoms and snow
in the white winter.
