”son, i know that you do not like your chinese eyes, which are my eyes. i know that you do not like your chinese hair, which is my hair. but can you understand how much joy your very existence brought to me?”

im so shocked by how much this made me cry. its like 30 pages and the tears were just pouring out im unwell.

it felt very relatable in some ways which broke my heart so much more. why is life like this :(

the mom had my whole heart <3

Words cannot express the beauty and sadness in this story...oh wait they can...only the words of Ken Liu can express the beauty and sadness in this story.

100% recommend to anyone with a beating heart.

Holy hell. That hurt.

In a scant 30ish pages, this will make you re-evaluate every broken, estranged relationship currently in your life and how you want to go about it - for better or for worse.

Brutally devastating in the choices you can’t unmake and the lost chance you’ll never get back.
