Don't Be Afraid



When Li Mei was about to set off to work as a kitchen maid for Mrs. Chen, her auntie told her not to be afraid. "You'll see. It is a very very lucky arrangement. The Chen's have many sons."

    I love how alone she looks in her trepidation, even with her mother's arm and reassurance. There is no missing how she stands on the brink, uncertain of what lies beyond.
