Please do watch it; it is a very beautiful and moving film #EAL #MLL
Here is a film sharing data from my project "Growing up multilingual with Chinese heritage". Sharing the link is the best way I can figure out, it's about 2 mins long. NB: this film comes with CW digitalmedia.sheffield.ac.uk/id/1_kbm3fb7k
