"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—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBsFYxsaUX
she (yes, she) never imagined that destiny would tear her apart.
A blood transfusion at age fourteen—meant to save her life—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8rKRDHvqf
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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRbe7kZo09
From that moment on, she is no longer one person.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnx5BjQGUY
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—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2aDSmTcYY
she continues to live.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtnN28r9zw
Not to be accepted.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV5hpdxq1j
But to prove: she is real.
She studies. She loves. She aches. She forgives.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl1Rf4ZwfB
She does not choose revenge—she chooses existence.
No one sees the tear in her heart,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqZ1erDYwI
but all see her rise.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GzKpAiVI8
No one hears her sob in the shadows,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOZXCWknPP
but all witness her smile—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlcZO2oPYi
like a lotus blooming in the mud,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey414FbrFh
not as radiant as a rose,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gEgjWIGSq
but resilient enough to survive.
And if you’ve ever felt unseen,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYskpZjHukn
if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUfgYSXLCO
then this story is for you.
Not to pity you—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN3r4aqpft
but to remind you that somewhere in this world,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYxIv89M1a
someone has lived as you have.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YC29jeTbx
And is still living.
