• Sigo aprendiendo sobre el amor. Creía entenderlo, no sólo el amor materno, sino también el amor a los padres, al marido y al laotong. He experimentado otros tipos de amor: el amor compasivo, el amor respetuoso y el amor agradecido. Pero mirando nuestro abanico secreto con los mensajes escritos entre Flor de Nieve y yo a lo largo de muchos años, veo que no valoré el amor más importante: el amor profundo.

• Nuestras palabras tenían que ser circunspectas. No podíamos escribir nada demasiado negativo sobre nuestras circunstancias. Esto era complicado, ya que la propia forma de la carta de una mujer casada tenía que incluir las quejas habituales: que éramos patéticas, impotentes, trabajábamos hasta la extenuación, añorábamos nuestro hogar y estábamos tristes. Teníamos que hablar directamente de nuestros sentimientos sin parecer desagradecidas, inútiles o poco amables.

• When I knew I couldn't suffer another moment of pain, and tears fell on my bloody bindings, my mother spoke softly into my ear, encouraging me to go one more hour, one more day, one more week, reminding me of the rewards I would have if I carried on a little longer. In this way, she taught me how to endure — not just the physical trials of footbinding and childbearing but the more torturous pain of the heart, mind, and soul.

• We hug, but there are no tears. For every awful thing that's been said and done, she is my sister. Parents die, daughters grow up and marry out, but sisters are for life. She is the only person left in the world who shares my memories of our childhood, our parents, our Shanghai, our struggles, our sorrows, and, yes, even our moments of happiness and triumph. My sister is the one person who truly knows me, as I know her. The last thing May says to me is 'When our hair is white, we'll still have our sister love.
