There are things you must understand. You moved to the West long ago. You think one’s life belongs to oneself. But that’s the difference between the East and the West. In the East a person’s life is part of a whole. Family. Society. You want to tell Nai Nai the truth because you’re afraid to take responsibility for her. Because it’s too big of a burden. If you tell her then you don’t have to feel guilty. We’re not telling Nai Nai because it’s our duty to carry this emotional burden for her.
