Sliced Fruit and Other Love Languages

More about the book

Love in Chinese culture often manifests through quiet gestures and unspoken understanding rather than overt expressions. For children raised in immigrant households, these subtle acts, like a mother's dedication to preparing a bowl of perfectly cut fruit, symbolize deep affection. The narrative highlights the significance of selflessness and the importance of small, unnoticed sacrifices that embody familial love, illustrating how these expressions can feel distant yet profoundly meaningful to those unfamiliar with this cultural lens.
