redfishieCouple of random thoughts on my mind-
In college, my brother had two friends who were brother and sister from Hong Kong. They’re family was very wealthy and we went to visit their (the brother and sister’s) penthouse apartment one time while we were in NYC with other friends of my brother’s several years back. Several months after this, my brother told me that their family had ordered them to cut off all contact with their non-asian friends or they’d be disinherited and cut off their entire family. They did. My brother hasn’t heard a peep from them since. I wonder how much it takes to have to make a decision like that. I wonder what led the parents to make such an extreme decision. I know they were scared of their children being Americanized. Not really much more to say about this, but it’s just been flitting in and out of my mind for some reason lately.
