Chinese Girls with English Names
There were those girls I met years ago when I first came to Shanghai, the ones with names like Xinglei, Liming, Zhang Jing… there were many. I could never remember their names the first time. The second time was hard too. And the third. Point is that I eventually got it, and when I did it was glorious!
What happened? Years later Xinglei became Cindy, Liming Linda, Zhang Jing Jane.
I feel a bit sad, almost like there’s a part of them missing now. I wonder if they feel the same.
