A little girl named Jun moved to the United States from Hong Kong with her parents. At first, she could only say a few simple English words and sentences: hello, thank you, toilet, I don't know... Everything at her new school felt unfamiliar and frightening. However, when she opened the lunchbox her mother had prepared for her, the aroma of steamed buns, dumplings, and cabbage filled the air. "Home" was no longer a distant geographical coordinate, but rather transformed into the warmth on her tongue, soothing her anxiety and loneliness. This taste of "home" gave her the courage to face the new environment and unexpectedly became an emotional bond between her and her new friends.
