Farewell China Quotes

“She stops and turns back to Yuri. She looks at Yuri with warm,
kind eyes. Her motherly instinct takes over, and she opens her arms
and takes Yuri in her chest, saying, ‘A baby’s crying is the same.”
― Hong Hong Guo, Farewell China

“She looks at me in astonishment. ‘Manchuria is gone. Japan
is paralysed! Now China and Japan do not have a diplomatic
relationship. So, no one accepts the Japanese yen!”
― Hong Hong Guo, Farewell China

“I long for the smells of my mother’s kitchen, the safety of
home, but also the warmth of my husband’s embrace. It has been
so long since I felt his breath on my neck or his fingers in my hair.
He says my hair is like silk woven by God, which always makes
me smile because I know he is just saying that—it is nothing of
the sort.”
― Hong Hong Guo, Farewell China
