And so, I stood on the beach, my father gripping me tight as I flailed my arms and screamed at the injustice and loss. Only Mei Zhen’s sister glanced my way, and I saw the tears in her eyes too. She wanted to scream and cry and pound her fists as was the usual custom, but by declaring Mei Zhen’s death a suicide, the funeral was a silent one of shame.

My feet sank deeper into the wet sand. Something sharp cut my tender flesh but I took little notice. As the four men tossed Mei Zhen’s weighted-body into the ocean I screamed out loud as Chao had said to, but inside I made a promise to Mei Zhen.

See you on the next full moon, my one true love.
