"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—326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOietT86Zr
she (yes, she) never imagined that destiny would tear her apart.
A blood transfusion at age fourteen—meant to save her life—326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xyWWlDQxy
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.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXT7RfO5xQ
From that moment on, she is no longer one person.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIJCh6eF7V
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—326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFuxl268P
she continues to live.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHlliCTE4
Not to be accepted.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZUFntmN0L
But to prove: she is real.
She studies. She loves. She aches. She forgives.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPywKLukNL
She does not choose revenge—she chooses existence.
No one sees the tear in her heart,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9S54jfKBc
but all see her rise.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFW1kgEuyD
No one hears her sob in the shadows,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeSfQyyh6N
but all witness her smile—326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TYZVvkKKk
like a lotus blooming in the mud,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM7wq5rjWs
not as radiant as a rose,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5DPnMW9Jc
but resilient enough to survive.
And if you’ve ever felt unseen,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBm1kaSf1U
if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong—326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fTYz3CI0G
then this story is for you.
Not to pity you—326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuM0dFsdgF
but to remind you that somewhere in this world,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA4wIqVX9W
someone has lived as you have.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dgCNGXrWz
And is still living.
