1st paragraph
1st is visual imagery
introduces Li Wen to her father
and also to us
1st time he's seeing her
before she's even met him
some sort of violence, rage and frustration
theme of music as a repetitive theme
she's dressed like she's older
tragedy was such that she was expected to grow up sooner
he's a dj
frustrated
matter of fact repersentation of the mum dying
as if there's no emotional attachment
cultural differences
western - living alone without family
asian - everything done with the family, as a family
little of father's frustration with his own mother
gap between children and mums
the way she walks
trying to present herself in a certain way
few monents of recognition of similarity
maybe she inherited his height
like two equals - measuring each other up
something performative about the manner in which she walks
moving country
but only carrying 3 small suitcases
could be leaving the past behind
talking about the weather
when there's nothign else to talk about
he expects her to think of this place as her home too
doesn't assiciate with this place
difference in expectation
a future in which the father and daughter know each other well
first time - sign of vulnerability in this girl
that's she's all she's gonna let on
she feels comfortable enough to talk to her father in this way
coz he's asian - cultural expectation
speaking with deference
almost sees each other as equals
he thinks he's parenting a young child
but he then allows it
music as a comfort
gross out
a bit tickled
gap in communication
generational and cultural difference
but going forward, this could be one of the things they connect on
immediately creates this cultural difference/barrier
the surprise is mutual
defense mech - talking about the radio
