Hard beginning of the year
Been a hard start to the year for me. My maternal grandmother died during the Chinese spring festival period, and my grand-auntie in Beijing passed away a short while ago. Following Chinese customs, didn’t go out to have dinner and party (not that I am the party kind of person)
I’m not usually sensitive enough to be really affected by these losses, but maybe because I’m getting old, or because I’m more or less alone in China, I cried. And would shed tears when listening to some very sad songs or seeing some sad scenes on the telly. Just now there was some sappy scene in a Korean tv series, and I felt tears swelling in my eyes. Jeez.
Note: This post I started writing shortly after the Chinese new year, and for several reasons did not end up posting it till now. I’m feeling better now.
