The reading show us a little story about a Chinese parents and its son surrounded by burocratics issues in an overseas land. Going abroad is always a challenge even if you speak the same language that will be used in the country you are going to. Thus it is more likely that people out from their origin country feel insecure about what will happen and how they must behave. Hom Hing was always trying to be polite in the beginning, through nice words to customs officers. His attitude shows like he was trying to avoid conflits, and his wife as well. The situation changed when the customers officers requested to Hom Hing's child to stay. When it comes to family, in special a son/daugther, the situation definitely goes serious.
The reading is divided in some parts and in it all the language barrier has a important role in story development.
