An account of growing up in Communist China in the 1960s. I'm only sharing it because it is the best thing I've ever read in my life.
It's really remarkable how her experience was so close to mine in some ways. I don't know what makes me feel I know her. Obviously growing up before smartphones and that. But it's more than that.
If anyone actually gives a shit, let me know.

No r-slur. I think the first one my dad made me watch was The Story of Qiu Ju.
It's not considered a classic but the last few seconds are worthy of Saki or Serling. Not something 20th Century film critics would have understood. You talk to anybody who dealt with poverty in 1990s China and they will immediately get it. !asians

You dumb motherlover. I was going to send you a very personal DM revealing information about me but I never will because I'm not going to bother with disabling your CSS. We didn't have CSS like gay people in my day. We did totally straight things like roleplaying being an ensign in the Romulan Star Navy.
I still remember my Romulan name and I will NOT tell anyone.

Probably the most beautiful woman who ever lived. There's maybe a couple in Japan who looked that good but couldn't act as well.
Unironically this is why I'm here, people who actually know what the frick I'm talking about.
Michael Mann completely ruined a movie that was like $100 million dollars to put Gong Li in it even though she doesn't even speak english. A choice I would have also made.
