Practicing “Do you have a …?” with the student. She asked “Do you have a brother?” I said “No, I don’t.” “Do you have a sister?” “No, I don’t.” “Do you have a husband?” “No, I don’t.” Then she was silent. My teacher asked me, you don’t have siblings, but you have uncles and aunts? I said, unfortunately… Easter holiday’s coming. Many people asked if I am going home. I am not sure, even though I go home, I will stay by myself. My paternal aunt said my mother will feel easier if I come back to take care of my grandma. My mother said, “Don’t rely on her. Herself is just surviving.” My aunt was shocked and sighed. Truly: Me only cruel immortality Consumes; I wither slowly in thine arms, Here at the quiet limit of the world, A white-hair'd shadow roaming like a dream The ever-silent spaces of the East, Far-folded mists, and gleaming halls of morn.
