Mohammed Alansari:The mother had high hopes at the start of the book, and by the end, jing-mei and her mother had forgiven each other: "I saw the offer as a symbol of forgiveness, a tremendous burden removed." Jing-birthday Mei's was a year ago today, and her mother had surprised her with a gift. Piano is a present that shows her forgiveness. Jing-Mei was overjoyed that she had gained a better understanding of her and had forgiven her for her actions. Piano has now become a significant item for her.
Yes, this is always going to be your piano, because you're the only one who can play it. Jing-Mei, happy birthday!
