HH: Let me ask you one last question. Of all the characteristics that you possess, what other characteristics -- you may give more than one -- that would make you uniquely a Japanese American?
LI: Well, I still feel that I think we all, Japanese Americans, stand out, I think. I still think it's our upbringing that's unique, I think.
HH: The unique way in which you were raised?
LI: Right, yes, and the surroundings.
HH: What do you remember about the ways in which your parents raised you?
LI: Well, first of all, my father and mother had always said to respect the elders, that was the main thing, but to stand up for our rights, naturally. And I felt that, you know, we have the responsibility for our children, which, I mean, I have kept. Even now, by myself, I feel I am so glad, that I am grateful and thankful for all my children.
HH: Thank you very much. Is there anything you would like to add to this interview?
LI: No, I don't think so.
HH: Thank you very much.
LI: Thank you.
HH: You're very generous.
LI: Thank you.
