It’s Hard to Say Happy New Near

A

A Lunar New Year We’ll Never Forget

Lunar New is the most important holiday to many Asians. Sadly, this Year of the Rabbit will always be remembered for two mass shootings. I hope that my Salon essay in some small ways honors my parents and those who lost their lives.

Wishing you peace and hope for this year and beyond.

My birth mother left me on a stairwell in Hong Kong. Someone took me to the Pearl S. Buck orphanage where I lived for 15 months before a Chinese-American couple adopted me. So much of my life was mired in shame and secrets foisted on me by my traditional Chinese parents. It's time to share my truth and throw off the shackles of shame through essays, personal reported pieces and the memoir I'm writing. IG and Twitter @yvonneliuwriter.
