Memoir Entry #9: F*cking Chinese

It’s that time of the month. Not for Aunt Flo to make an appearance, but for an excerpt from my memoir! Fyi, memoir posts are not as predictable as Aunt Flo making her appearance every month, even during perimenopause. But, because it took me a whole month to write the eleventh chapter, which turned into a three-part series, I felt compelled to share.

Huge apologies for slapping a pay wall on this one. Had to do it. My paying readers deserve some special content for their hard-earned money, which they have gifted to me for promised special content. And I HUGELY appreciate it. Like, a LOT.

Below I present a snippet from Chapter 11: The Fall, November: F*cking Chinese. It’s not racist, I promise. Despite the shocking title.
