I have lived in Canada for twenty- three years. In Canada, I call myself Joe Wu. Joe is an English name that sounds like Zhou. ② Though I have lived here for a long time, I still don't feel Canadian. This is probably because North American manners and Chinese manners are so different. In China, being modest is a virtue.
