Theresa Chun gave a statement about what it's like living in Lawrence. Underneath her photo the statement is printed, she said, "So many people never been outside New England. So they don't know another culture. And my children was young/they come home crying, Mom they teasing me 'small eye' and 'slant nose' and 'you're Chinese' and I just feel- so many times I was upset." Theresa Chun moved with her husband for educational purposes. Her husband works in medicine, and Theresa is an artist.
