International Women's Day meme: Kwong Li wants many things
I feel a little odd posting this except maybe it will help lighten for a moment a grim mood that afflicts all of us who feel part of the global community as we watch the videos from Japan that should be from a horror film but are not.
For autumnia
Kwong Lee is a bad Buddhist. Every night, her husband counts beads and prays to a woman named Mary who buried her murdered son. Meanwhile, she meditates on the Noble Eightfold Path and chants mantras to free her of want.
It doesn’t work. She wants to know if her sister and brother are alive in Japanese-occupied Hong Kong. She wants the foods she cannot find with ration coupons - five spice powder, huáng jiǔ rice wine, chili oil, and nián'gāo for the New Year. She wants Mr. Patel to stop smoking in her kitchen. She wants her son to survive the Merchant Navy and she wants her grandson to grow up without war.
Kwong Lee wants many things and is a bad Buddhist.
As I had 3 requests for Aravis, I'm writing something longer. I'll post that later.
