Short Story: Read Between The Lines By C.J. Anderson-Wu

Dear Son,

How is everything going in school? 

You might be under surveillance, my child

Together with this letter, I mail you several books I’ve finished reading

These publications have passed censorship

I believe that masterpieces by western writers can teach you about life

Works by local writers are often banned

I want to remind you to practice your oration everyday and pronounce each word correctly

Let people think you are urbane, not raised in a rural area

Exercise regularly
