The Paper Menagerie

Best short story and best story I read this month and this year (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)(༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ) OMG. I never thought that I would ugly crying in middle of the night reading short story (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ). Ken liu written the story really beautifully and well. I love how the magical realism can be blended well in reality. How the story told the love of mother to her son. And the ending just as expected sad and tragic. (╥﹏╥)(╥﹏╥) "If I say 'love,' I feel here." She pointed to her lips. "If I say 'ai,' I feel here." She put her hand over her heart.

Okay this made me cry a little :')

it takes a lot of skill to reach the reader and devastate them through such a short story. i hate haivan.

incredibly beautiful and touching.
