She was too weak
for childbirth.
:09:05
She died giving life to me.
Strange coincidence...
:09:09
My grandmother died
a year after World War I,
:09:12
my mother, a year
after World War II,
:09:14
and both because of a child.
:09:16
Since I never had a mother,
I never had a childhood.

who doesn't resemble my father.
:10:16
I wanted to die at an age
when others start living.
:10:19
It wasn't unusual since my father
was living through a dead woman.
:10:23
Luckily, I botched my suicide.
:10:26
And now, I'm ruining my life,
which is worse."

:10:44
We were together,
:10:47
but couldn't have been

You want to be a Maoist?
But you know nothing about Mao.
