A superbly told, deeply moving portrait of coming to terms with one's father. Funny, raging, poignant and revealing, this is a story told from a very personal point of view. A woman diagnosed with cancer and rendered speechless suddenly realizes that her days could be numbered and begins to wonder about the meaning of her existence. Captures the historical Opium War from a Chinese perspective. The Chinese suffered continued defeats and further humiliation when the British colonized Hong Kong and continued to smuggle opium into China.
