My name is Bi Feng Lin. I am from Fukian, China. I speak Mandarin.

I am married. My husband passed away. I have 3 children. They all work. My son works in a restaurant. Two daughters are both accountants. I live in New York City. I live in an apartment building on 10th Street. It is a 13-story building. I live on the 4th floor. It is a two-bedroom apartment. Most of my neighbors are Chinese. Some are African Americans. Some are Hispanic. They are all friendly.

My neighborhood is noisy, but safe. Shopping and transportation is convenient. A subway station and a bus stop are only a 5-minute walk away from my home. On the street in front of my building, there are some stores, a playground, a Laundromat, and a library. There is also a bank and a supermarket near my building.

I came to America in 1996. Before I came to America, I had always been a housewife. Now I am retired.

My favorite hobbies are workout, traveling, hiking, walking, watching dramas and keeping plants and fish. My favorite food is Chinese food. Jing Feng is my favorite restaurant. It is one of the best-known restaurants in Chinatown.
