“Once he wrote the character 忍 (endure). He instructed Aunt Baba to study the word. ‘Divide 忍 (endure) into its two components, top and bottom. The top component, 刀 means knife, but it has a sheath in the centre of the rapier 刃. The bottom component 心 means heart. Combined together, the world is telling us a story. Though my son is wounding my heart, I shall ensheath the pain and live through it. To me, the word 忍 (endure) represents the epitome of the Chinese culture and civilization.”
― Adeline Yen Mah, Falling Leaves
