L. Jie (pronounced "L. Jay") is our apartment building's gatekeeper/facilities woman. She's a fireball! Smokes, drinks, hollers, and LOVES Titus. She's got a daughter our age who came over to hang out with us last weekend. We met her gregarious husband once; he lives in Guangzhou in the far south.
Every weekday morning Titus and I visit L. Jie for at least a few minutes. She usually offers him some Chinese cake and a cigarette. Like I said, she's rough around the edges! But she's got gusto for life. In fact, I think she plans to live forever. At our dinner table I asked what she imagines shall become of her upon kicking the bucket...
"I'm in really good health! I almost never get sick! When I do get sick I never take medicine; I just rest."
Oh.
Uh, that didn't really answer the question.
We love L. Jie; you would love her too. You can meet her when you come to visit. You're coming to visit, right?

L. Jie sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteTitus is looking adorable, as usual. :)
