Chinese Cool
Chinese and non-Chinese students study culture and language at Chinese schools in Saratoga
|
Raghav Bhardwaj was 6 months old when his father moved their family from the East Bay to a village in southeastern China. As a result, Raghav was raised speaking English, his parents' native tongue of Hindi and his nanny's Hainan dialect of Mandarin Chinese. "For him, [Chinese] was his language. And that's how we wanted it," says Tanuja Bali, Raghav's mother. Raghav surprised the locals by acting as a translator between his parents and the Chinese. "They couldn't believe it was this Indian kid speaking fluent Mandarin," Bali says. Five years later, the family moved once again--from their village near the city of Shenzhen to Hong Kong, where Raghav attended Hong Kong International School and began learning how to read and write Chinese. This past August his family returned to California.
