Rivals since childhood, Fang and Lian both leave their village in China in search of fortune and adventure. After reuniting in a factory city, when Fang’s grandmother falls ill, they hatch a plan to win the sympathies of an American online. When he replies, Lian secretly masquerades as Fang in a gripping story of friendship, love, and betrayal.

But it just sort of ended I wish that they had given it a better ending

Good

This story highlights the range of differences and expectations that can exist between cultures as well as among families. I always like endings that made me wish there was more, or that make me wonder what actually became of the characters after the book ends, but I think in my heart, I already knew. Cindy Kay gives a good performance - her narration was so soft, almost a whisper - that it convinced me she was telling me the story to me in person.

Bittersweet Ending

WOW, surprisingly emotionally packed short story with a subtle hint of darkness. it was a simple concept but executed perfectly by both author and performer. The story is strong in the interactions of the characters and it shows how small events can have an impact on lives and last a lifetime. Beautifully written and performed, it is just one story of these characters but I wanted more. Hopefully there will be future installments. This is the type of story that keeps you thinking after you are finished.

Short story hidden gem

SPOILER ALERT!!!
The story definitely shown on some cultural tendencies. The ending though... ouch...so unexpected. I wonder if that's a cultural thing too.

Well read

Good character development along with insight about Chinese life and how they view us in America.

Interesting twist ending that guys won't like.
