Man, I'm not going to confirm or deny your theory. Just know that it hit closer to home than I am comfortable with sharing!
And you're right, U-Ming. So many of my painful memories now feel like they happened to someone else. I doubt I will ever be able to sit down and have a coffee-chat with Jian, however, but this says a lot more about me than it does for him, hahaha.
Thank you for reading as always man, and darn your analytical skills. I hope you enjoyed this story!
