Description
Soo Li, your sister-in-law has told me about your friend Paul Stevens. You have been a good mother, a filial daughter ... and until now a widow faithful to the memory of your dead husband for the last seven years I know you are still young and good-looking and I would have been happy if you had married either one of those doctors who were interested in you. I therefore can't understand why you should decide to marry this Eurasian man
Tradition perceives in black and white. It has no use for shades of correctness. You are either Chinese or you are not. You are either filial or you are not. A believer or an unbeliever. Kay Liang wanted desperately to be somewhere in between - modern and traditional.
