Glad and Delight

Written in Chinese by Jiang Rui

Translated into English by Cui Yuwei

I write down a word "glad"

mom asking me to turn it into "delight"

does it make a difference?

she says, "delight" sounds better

more of a feminine term

but I still prefer

"glad"

《喜歡和歡喜》
江睿

我寫喜歡
媽媽叫我寫歡喜
有多大差別呢
媽媽說歡喜更好
更像女人
但我還是覺得
喜歡好
