I punched one of the children who said mean things about my sister . Later that day, the children's parents came and yelled at my sister and the people at the brothel . I got my sister in trouble but I will never forget the disdain faces those parents . "
Hui Chi flipped onto the next page . He noticed that early in the book, there wasn't really any concept of time, but seems like recalled memories written down at a much later time then after the event happened .
