“Even when my husband and I had no food or clothes ourselves, we worked ourselves to the bone, because wanted the best for our children.
So that no one could grind them down, the children that I gave birth to, so no one could bully them or hurt them.”

“My husband loves me so, so much - despite my lack of schooling, he’s never once criticised me for it.
But I made sure that my own son got into the best of schools.
So I am not happy. I am not happy.”

“Dear Burmans of Myanmar - please don’t hate us Chinese!
Because I am pure Chinese.
My parents can’t speak a word of Burmese - that’s how Chinese I am - let me speak!
Let me have my say!
I can’t say this to my own son any more!”

“I will tell you everything!
I am uneducated - I’m originally from the north of Myanmar where civil war has raged, so I had no proper schooling, often having to flee from gunfire, and that’s why I am uneducated - do you dare mock me for it?”
