"When blood is no longer pure, can the soul still have a name?"
Born in the body of a Vietnamese boy—with tan skin, black hair, and the wistful eyes of the East—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM19MNL5eb
she (yes, she) never imagined that destiny would tear her apart.
A blood transfusion at age fourteen—meant to save her life—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIxcOBAi1J
becomes the beginning of a journey of possession, multiplicity, prejudice, and pain.
The soul of a Western woman—wife of a Vietnamese man from a previous life—awakens within her.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54PIPqLunD
From that moment on, she is no longer one person.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzrDsvmnk5
She becomes a fragment of history, an echo of the past, a threshold between East and West, male and female, sinner and survivor.
Rejected by schools, abandoned by her own twin sister, scorned by a society that despises “hybridity,” and belittled for her intellect, gender, and origin—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JNgppv15V
she continues to live.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4TFVKysQU
Not to be accepted.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObXiIBxs9z
But to prove: she is real.
She studies. She loves. She aches. She forgives.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMizRbhDUJ
She does not choose revenge—she chooses existence.
No one sees the tear in her heart,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaWhOkyKXE
but all see her rise.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiki28ml0J
No one hears her sob in the shadows,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xYBRcJwC4
but all witness her smile—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sIxiLpRDc
like a lotus blooming in the mud,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CmCwn3ubn
not as radiant as a rose,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFed6GjEFvb
but resilient enough to survive.
And if you’ve ever felt unseen,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9I3biNMMh
if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbJAl2QKL8
then this story is for you.
Not to pity you—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡighfIXLMrf
but to remind you that somewhere in this world,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4dLWW2Yr7
someone has lived as you have.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jv0vSLeWy
And is still living.
