你好！这周的问题：你小时候住在哪里？能描述一下你家的房子和周围的环境吗？
我小时候住在广州的一个老房子里。那个房子有一个很大的院子，院子里有一棵龙眼树...

龙眼树听起来很特别！那棵树大概有多大？你们会在树下做什么？
故事
The stories are there. You just need a way to hear them.
Your parent remembers the name of every neighbor on their childhood street. The sound of the morning market. The year they left home. But when you ask about it, you get the short version. Not because the memories are short — because there's never been a way to go deep.
Baohua exists because the stories your parents carry deserve to be told in full — in the language they think in, readable in the language you grew up in.
“I built Baohua because I wanted to hear my own parents' stories. They have so much to share. I just needed to find a way to ask.”
如何运作
Three simple steps. One meaningful story.
Choose a question
“Tell me about the house you grew up in.” Pick from prompts about childhood, the journey to a new country, favorite foods, or family traditions. Baohua sends it to your parent on WhatsApp — in Chinese.
A conversation unfolds
Your parent replies in Chinese on WhatsApp. A warm, patient AI asks follow-up questions: “What did it smell like? Who lived next door?” Over a few exchanges, the full story emerges. Text or voice, whatever feels natural.
The family reads a story
Within hours, a polished story arrives. Chinese original on one side. English translation on the other. The whole family can read it, comment, and ask follow-up questions that shape the next conversation.
真实故事
Here's what a story looks like.
A mother in Guangzhou told this story in Chinese. Her children read it in English. This is what Baohua creates from a simple WhatsApp conversation.
广州的老房子
The Old House in Guangzhou
Original · 原文
我小时候住在广州的一个老房子里。那个房子有一个很大的院子，院子里有一棵龙眼树。每年夏天，我们都会爬上树去摘龙眼吃。那时候的日子虽然简单，但是很快乐。邻居们都很友好，经常一起在院子里聊天、下棋。我最怀念的就是那棵龙眼树，和树下乘凉的午后。
Translation · 翻譯
I grew up in an old house in Guangzhou. The house had a big courtyard with a longan tree. Every summer, we would climb the tree to pick longans. Life was simple back then, but very happy. The neighbors were friendly — they would often gather in the courtyard to chat and play chess. What I miss most is that longan tree, and the cool afternoons spent under its shade.
旅程
Stories that grow into a family treasure.
Baohua is not a one-time thing. It is a year-long conversation that becomes something the whole family can hold onto.
Week 1
The first story
A question goes out. A story comes back. The family reads it together, maybe for the first time hearing these details in a language everyone can understand.
Weekly
Stories keep coming
Every week, a new prompt draws out a different chapter. The journey to America. The foods that taste like home. How the family came together. Family members comment and ask follow-ups that shape the next conversation.
Over months
An archive takes shape
Siblings join. Stories connect to each other. The aunt mentioned in one story gets her own chapter later. A family history emerges, told in the storyteller's own voice.
The milestone
A bilingual family book
All the stories become a printed book. Chinese and English side by side, with QR codes that play the storyteller's original voice. A family heirloom that lasts for generations.
Book printing coming soon
