Mandy Chen

Mandy Chen is a student and young writer living in Shenzhen, China. She is inspired by the works of Hemingway, Faulkner and Dostoyevsky, and strives to become a martial arts master.

Interviews in the Days to Come

I had waited a long time at the door before the nanny came. She looked distracted as she led me to the study on the second floor, where the girl sat waiting. It was summer and I was glad to be in.
“You are my teacher,” the girl announced as soon as she saw me. She wore a yellow dress and could not be more than ten. I sat down next to her. On the desk was an impressive array of textbooks and stationary.
“Hello. What’s your name?”
“My name is Crystal,” she said in English.
“You can call me Mr. Li.”
