[09:47.36]Read  Students find Chinese roots.
[09:53.14]After coming to China,Lumsden Quan
[09:58.28]found that his family was like a tall tree with long roots.
[10:03.35]Lumsden is just one young overseas⁴ Chinese
[10:08.68]who has come to his ancestor's homeland as a part of the"In Search of Roots" summer camp program
[10:16.12]The program started in 1980
[10:20.07] and is organized by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of Guangdong Province.
[10:26.83]So far,it has brought thousands of overseas Chinese students to China
[10:33.68]to explore the roots of their families.
[10:37.83]The young people are usually between 16 and 25 years old,
[10:44.08]and mostly come from the United⁵ States,Canada,the Netherlands,
[10:51.05]Austria⁶,the United Kingdom,Germany,and Indonesia⁷.
[10:58.00]Many have never been to China before and can hardly speak any Chinese.
[11:04.97]The students mainly visit areas in Guangdong province.
[11:10.33]The two-week camp has activities like studying Chinese culture,sightseeing,
[11:17.88]looking at how China has changed,
[11:22.03]and trying to find information about their ancestors⁸.
[11:26.89]Visiting their ancestors'villages is one of the highlights¹⁰ of the journey.
[11:33.13]The students wash their hands and faces in the village well.
[11:38.31]They walk through the countryside,
[11:42.07]and spend hours watching the water buffalo¹¹ and the farmers working in the fields.
[11:48.91]After the two weeks,many members are deeply¹² moved by their experiences
[11:56.04]and later think of it as a turning point in their lives.
[12:01.40]Candace Chin,a young student from America,had this to say:
[12:08.48]"The 'In Search of Roots'program is amazing.
[12:13.52]Thanks to the program,I understand the beginning of who I am
[12:20.00]and I realize that I am culturally and ancestrally rooted in China."
[12:26.24]Another American,Susan Brim,said,
[12:31.20]"Going to my grandfather's grave¹³ was a powerful¹⁴ experience.
[12:36.95]I feel like I have done something that wasn't importhant to me before."
[12:42.70]Chinese historian¹⁵ Mai Liqian and the team leader of the American camp,Zheng Guohe,
[12:50.64]believe strongly in the program.
[12:54.48]They say the purpose of the trip is to clear any doubts
[12:59.76]that young Chinese living abroad have about who they are
[13:05.01]Many young people,after the journey,have come to understand their roots
[13:12.16]and because of that they have learned¹⁶ more about themselves
[13:17.62]It is a wonderful experience for anyone to return to the place where his or her ancestors livd
[13:25.09]worked,studied,and played.
