"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—134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPHonYBnZM
she (yes, she) never imagined that destiny would tear her apart.
A blood transfusion at age fourteen—meant to save her life—134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt2T32tgkK
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfZpHx98iY
From that moment on, she is no longer one person.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw2Udr8Bxx
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—134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jd99Ymj2E
she continues to live.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lr9E2kVAP
Not to be accepted.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVO0kpW8Eo
But to prove: she is real.
She studies. She loves. She aches. She forgives.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFU2OA1gbz
She does not choose revenge—she chooses existence.
No one sees the tear in her heart,134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI7SGPD90P
but all see her rise.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIitdKgyAKl
No one hears her sob in the shadows,134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6hd4SBJjY
but all witness her smile—134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqrolU8vcf
like a lotus blooming in the mud,134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmlv7qWkRZ
not as radiant as a rose,134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT0Whhokcw
but resilient enough to survive.
And if you’ve ever felt unseen,134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0KoC2cCMA
if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong—134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMdnZfBhlQ
then this story is for you.
Not to pity you—134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzx13xdHes
but to remind you that somewhere in this world,134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JTLjSGm7K
someone has lived as you have.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSHmeDGyEm
And is still living.
