“Unmasking Expectations: How Hyeseung Song’s ‘Docile’ Shatters the Stereotypes of the Perfect Asian Girl”
Hyeseung and I share a Chinese zodiac year, the Horse, and she lamented the same prediction my Japanese colleagues shared with me nearly 40 years ago. People born in the Year of the Horse (women, particularly so) are headstrong and, therefore, hard to marry. Thankfully, Hyeseung is 12 years my junior and escaped the Fire Horse double-whammy (the twelve-year zodiac cycle repeats through five different elements before completing a full sixty-year rhythm). Even if my connection to this author could have been more auspicious, I felt a moment of shared pride: Year of the Horse babies, unite!
