"My mother couldn't bear it and left, my father broke his leg, and my young brother was too little to shoulder the burden, so it all fell on me. The Sun Family even coveted our home and went so far as to say they would sell me to the brothel."

"Under those circumstances, I had either to endure or to rise up and fight back. I chose to rise up and fight back."

"What's so terrible about death? If I have to die, so be it—why live a life of misery?"
