More quotes by Ha Jin
I work hard, I work very hard. All the books at least 30 revisions.
Ha Jin
Every summer Lin Kong returned to Goose Village to divorce his wife, Shuyu.
Ha Jin

Ha Jin
The more you move, the stronger you'll grow, not like a tree that can be killed if you uproot it.
Ha Jin

Ha Jin
