At sixteen, Li Sui walked into the Qi household to take a live-in caregiving job that paid triple the usual hourly rate. Her mother had cancer, and they had nothing.

She stayed. She read to him, helped him with his rehabilitation, and shared a piece of pine nut candy she could barely afford to buy for herself. Even when he was at his most humiliated, she calmly told him, "Your eyes will get better. So will you."
