:30:03
Lord Buddha, forgive me.
:30:07
So, on that day, Wu Tsing
promised to revere my mother...
:30:11
as if she had been
First Wife, his only wife.
:30:17
He promised to raise me
and my mother's son...
:30:20
as his honored children,
the highest position.
:30:32
And on that day...n
:30:34
Second Wife's hair
began to turn white.
:30:38
Mama!
:30:42
And on that day,
I learned to shout.
:30:50
Mom, what does it mean?
:30:52
What does it mean, Mommy?
:30:54
I tell you the story
because I was raised...
:30:58
the Chinese way.
:31:00
I was taught
to desire nothing...
:31:03
to swallow
other people's misery...
:31:06
and to eat my own bitterness.
:31:10
And even though I taught
my daughter the opposite...
:31:14
but still she came out
the same way.
:31:21
Maybe it is because she was born
to me and she was born a girl.
:31:25
And I was born to my mother,
and I was born a girl.
:31:28
All of us like stairs...
:31:31
one step after another,
going up, going down...
:31:36
but always going the same way.
:31:44
But, no, this cannot be.
:31:51
This, this not knowing
what you're worth.
:31:56
This not begin with you.
