Life is not just about what you do it's more about how you do it. Dialogue Billi: OK, when were you guys gonna tell me this? How could you let me find out like this? Jian: How should I have told you? Oh, your grandma's on the roof? Michael: So what do you think's better? China or America? Billi: It's different. Michael: What do you mean different? It must be much nicer in America. Billi: It's just... different. Michael: But I guess you're more used to America, right? Billi: I guess. Billi: You know, one of the few good memories of my childhood, were the summers at Nai Nai's. They had that garden. Ye Ye and I would catch dragonflies. And then we just moved to the States. Everything was different. Everyone was gone. And it was just the three of us. Jian: I know it was hard. It was hard for us too. Billi: I wanted to believe that it was a good thing, but all I saw was fear in your eyes. And I was confused and scared constantly because you never told me what was going on. And then Ye Ye died. You didn't even tell me he was sick. So it felt like he just vanished suddenly. And you wouldn't even let me go to his funeral. Jian: You were at school. We didn't want you to miss school. We did what we thought was best for you. Billi: But I never saw him again. And every time I came back to China, he just wasn't there anymore. And I come back and he's just gone. The house is gone, A Die's gone, our Beijing home is gone and soon she'll be gone, too.
