Hi all, I’m a 2nd generation US-born Chinese/Cantonese speaker (barely). I’m also approaching middle age and my parents are getting older, and I’ve realized that I basically know nothing about my parents and I don’t know how to converse with them (my English is great but my Cantonese is very poor, and my parents are vice versa). I’ve even hired a therapist who was bilingual and did a few sessions with my parents but that didn’t go very far.

I recently discovered this service where someone will conduct a recorded interview your loved ones so that you can watch it later, learn more about them, and, memorialize them. I thought this was such a great idea and I was wondering if anyone was aware of such a service for Cantonese speakers? Maybe potentially a business idea?
