Chapter 2 - by Lina Grajales

What a relief.

At least, they’re now in peaceful Canada, not in war-torn China.

At least, children in Canada won’t be whipped as they worked as fields servants, like in Old China.

At least, Chinese girls could play-act in Canada. In China, they would be tied up.

At least, Jook -a born girl-child, useless for her family’s status purposes- had a beloved friend…Wong Suk, one of many discarded bachelor-men of Chinatown in Vancouver.

What a relief…
