一九二二年十一月，我出生在上海。父亲是个职员。母亲只生我一个。

I was born in Shanghai in November 1922. My father was an office worker, I was an only child.

I noticed that too, but I knew what you meant. Unique to me would mean having some specialness. Different from all other children.

I think in the US, we would say, "I was an only child".
