Annabel’s Quotes

“it was wartime. People were being bombed out all over the place. Bad experience is more bearable when you are not the only sufferer.”
― Nien Cheng, Life and Death in Shanghai

“It’s always best to look ahead and not backwards. Possessions are not important. Think of those beautiful porcelain pieces I had. Before they came to me, they had all passed through the hands of many people, surviving wars and natural disasters. I got them only because someone else lost them. While I had them, I enjoyed them; now some other people will enjoy them. Life itself is transitory. Possessions are not important.”
― Nien Cheng, Life and Death in Shanghai: The Extraordinary Memoir of a Woman Accused of Being a British Spy in Maoist China
