Cynthia family history:
My grandfather on my father’s side (Polish but had a German passport and spoke German) was a brother in a church and fled to HK in WW2 - met my grandmother who is Shanghainese when she was working in Hong Kong, fell in love and left the church to become a headmaster.
My grandmother on my mother’s side is from Hong Kong and was orphaned during the Japanese occupation - later grew up to meet my grandfather who is from Teochow - another region in China.
