Quotes by Claire Chao (?)

“The country that had produced a cultural legacy of such refinement, and then ravaged it, finally came full circle after three decades. Diedie’s art pieces, albeit scattered, are treasured once again. China’s cruel history broke our family, yet the sublime beauty of its culture endures.

It makes me believe that losing the ability to dream is a far worse fate than any material loss.”
