The constant struggle to keep up appearances, the pretenses, the smiles that had been met with tears. The long sleepless nights, the loneliness that cloaked my spirit and turned me into a true ghost  (Anchee Min Quotes) My mother was taught the ch’an concept of happiness, which was to find satisfaction in small things. I was taught to appreciate the fresh air in the morning, the colour of leaves turning red in autumn and the water’s smoothness when I soaked my hands in the basin  (Anchee Min Quotes) I was happy not to be in his place. He could command my death, but not his. But then, what kind of power was his? He was a prisoner of himself  (Anchee Min Quotes) My goal was to do anything that would lead to a job.
