"A woman singing for the Chinese opera in the nineties was the lowest class in the society. When I knew you, you were just singing as a clown. You would fight with the others just for a meal ticket. Your biggest dream was just to have enough to eat and wear."
"I like to hear you sing and you are such a sweet talker. You always referred to me as your sister, always told me how much your dad loves gambling and how he abuses you. He sold you off in the end. I pitied you and formally took you as my sister."
"From then on, I'd give you five dollars every week. In the nineties, five dollars was enough for an ordinary person's monthly expenses. You ask yourself, have you ever worried about food and clothes, have you ever been bullied after I took you in?"
