When I was in States, S recommended me to read this novel or watched the movie, but I could not get the chance.
Until I came back, I saw this movie for few times, and I really like it very much, as I also found out my difficulties on the relationship with my mother.
No matter what, this is past tense now, for she is no longer in the world!!
