Captain led me into the hotel. A few men stood
Just finished the book and I told my husband I'll never go to China. I admire that they were there for 30 years and that my friends taught ESL there. Also that my close friend adopted her daughter from China and went back with her when she was grown. But for me, never will I set foot in China.
“Because the difference between a friend and a real friend is that you and the real friend come from the same territory, of the same place deep inside you, and that means you see the world in the same kind of way. You know each other even before you do.”

“I believe in love. And beauty. I believe that every single person has something they find beautiful and that they truly love. The smell of their child's hair, the silence of a forest, their lover's crooked grin. Their country, their religion, their family. And I believe that if you follow this love all the way to its end, if you start with the thing you find most beautiful and trace it's perfume back to its essence, you will perceive an intangible presence, a swath of stillness that allows the thing you love to be visible like the openness of the sky reveals the presence of the moon.”
