Hi there! My name is Lee and I’m 4½ years old. I’m going to be five real, real soon.
My favorite thing to do is martial arts. I’ve studied Shaolin, Hop Gar and Jeet June Do! I take classes with my friend Trey! We both have red belts. My dad has a black belt. He got his belt in China where he's from.
I like building things too. Once I even built the Great Wall of China out of sand. My friends Zoe, Amir and Brianna like to build things with me too. The other thing I like is flying kites with my dad.
We have this great big dragon kite and I love flying it. Actually my dad is the one who has to get it up in the air. It’s funny watching him -– he runs back and forth with the kite until he’s completely out of breath. It's very funny. Lorenzo, Danny and I were all laughing.
My dad told me that people in China used to fly kites more than 3000 years ago. Some day he’s going to take me to visit China. I really want to go, and hope we get to see the Forbidden City in Bejing.
You can see me in Global Wonders: Around the World and Global Wonders: African-American. |
