“You are small, and you are brief. Do not presume you can understand what I am about to show you.”
“Shaowei said the kids had called them rats. Scattering rats. Poy thought of the story Shaowei had told him. The rat pushed the cat off the boat and the cat never made the zodiac. The rat won. But it was still a rat.”
“I feel-It’s like I have his blood in my veins but they’re housed in the body of his oppressor.”
Fucked with this HEAVY

Interesting format, although I wish mo and the narrator were there more interspersed throughout. I was surprised at how much I didn't know about Chinese immigration, and this is an important story to tell. Will definitely be checking out the documentary mentioned. Lots of vivid imagery and so many complex storylines.

A really important read regarding the treatment of Asian Canadians in Canada + Newfoundland and Labrador during the head tax.
