  Hello Chanh,

  There is an article in "The China Quarterly"
  issue No.50 April/June 1972 entitled
  "Impressions of Language in China"
  by Beverly Hong Fincher

  Leaving home when young, returning when old,
    accent still the same, though with hair turned grey.
  Meeting the children, knowing you not,  
   laughingly they ask, where you from.

  by He4 Zhi Zhang (659AD to 744AD) Tang Dunasty poet
