QAIS Staff Profile of the Week - Justin Sun, Staff Care Coordinator

My favorite food is beef. The first reason is that beef will not make you fatter. It will only make you stronger and that is what I need – LOL.The second reason is that beef is easy to cook, it compliments most other food I enjoy like potatoes, white radishes, tomatoes, Chinese sauerkraut,eggs and so on. Also, beef can be cooked sweet, sour,spicy flavor, or salty flavor. No matter what the flavor is, they all taste really good. I have not eaten any horrible dish which is made by beef. Even if you just boil it without any flavor, it is delicious. Is there any reason you can think of to not like beef? I can’t think of one!

What is your favorite family occasion and why?

My favorite family occasion is each New Year’s Eve. All my relative get together to celebrate the new year that night. My grandparents have four sons amd four daughters. My father is the oldest sons. Normally, all the sons’ families come together in my grandparents’ home on New Year’s Eve to celebrate the new year as long as I can remember. Even after my grandparents passed away a couple of years ago, we still keep this family gathering going. It is a tradition in my family that on that night I lead all children to set off firecrackers and fireworks because I am the oldest grandson. We also play poker while waiting for the most fancy meal of the year. Everyone talks about the year just past and the year that is about to start. At that moment, I always feel lucky to be part of a big family.

你最喜欢的食物是什么？为什么喜欢？

我最喜欢的食物是牛肉，首先吃牛肉不会让你变胖，只会帮助你变得更强壮，这正是我需要的，哈哈，

而且牛肉很容易烹制美味，它和很多我喜欢的食物都很相配，比如土豆，白萝卜，西红柿，酸菜，鸡蛋

等等，牛肉还可以做成甜的，酸的，辣的或者是咸的，不管是什么口味，它们都很好吃，我还没吃到过

用牛肉做的难吃的食物，即使你不用任何调料去煮它，它一样很美味，还有什么理由让你不喜欢牛肉吗

？我一个都想不出来。

你最喜欢的家庭聚会时刻是什么时候？为什么喜欢？

我最喜欢的家庭聚会时刻是每年的除夕夜，所有的亲戚会聚到一起庆祝新年，我的祖父母有四个儿子和

四个女儿，我的父亲是大儿子,从我记事起，每当过除夕夜的时候，我父亲和叔叔们就会携家带口到我的

祖父母家庆祝新年，即使几年前我们祖父母过世之后，我们家族还是保持着这项传统，除夕夜的时候，

我会带领孩子们放鞭炮和烟花，因为我的最年长的孙子，我们会边打玩扑克边等着丰盛的除夕夜晚餐，

谈论过去的一年并展望新的一年， 每当那个时候，我总会庆幸自己是这个大家族的一员。
