I had to re read this for English lit and I'm not ok
Absolutely incredible short story by Ken Liu about the relationship between a Chinese mother who spoke little English, and her American born half Chinese, half Caucasian child. It is a beautiful and sad story about prejudice, racism, and magic in the form of the mother breathing origami to life. Lots of tears.
