More quotes by Ha Jin
English has more flexibility. It's a very plastic, very shapeable, very expressive language. In that sense it feels quite natural.
Ha Jin
Without writing, what would I have become? Nothing. In China the individual used to be treated as a screw or a small cog in the revolutionary machine. I wanted to be a human being with a voice.
Ha Jin
We can't continue to be like this. Who am I? Your fiancée or your concubine?
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
Life is a journey, and you can't carry everything with you. Only the usable baggage.
Ha Jin
Every summer Lin Kong returned to Goose Village to divorce his wife, Shuyu.
Ha Jin
I work hard, I work very hard. All the books at least 30 revisions.
