“When Ming was still in diapers, I had been giving Mom my salary. I had paid for her apartment. I was more than happy to care for her in old age; in fact, I had budgeted for it. It pained me that despite my love and support for her, in her mind it was still her son who made the difference between her servitude and her freedom. Taiwan itself had evolved around her, but she continued to see our world as it had been before World War II— as a world in which men operated, and women were significant only insofar as they could perpetuate this way of life through the birth of heirs.”

“Maybe, at the very least, I could interrupt the inheritance of our own inferiority from generation to generation, and break this damaging cycle.
I came to the epiphany that a story does not need to end with a single person. Sometimes, success is something that happens over the course of generations, something that is built upon life after life, each one opening a path so that those coming after can walk easier, farther.
Mom had opened doors for me, so that I in turn could open them for my daughter.”
