"I can feel my soul fill up." I personally have literally said this about a good dumpling.
Academics are not it for everyone; trade school or work experience is sometimes the perfect fit for an individual. The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling is a great lens into living with 1) workaholic Chinese dad, 2) Chinese restaurant culture, and 3) mental illness in the fam and having to be the parent to younger sibs.
