This blog is about a girl named Lulu Wang who spoke on a podcast about her family withholding a serious secret from her grandmother. She is torn between keeping the secret or telling her grandmother because she doesn't feel like she can with hold something from someone that she loves dearly. Learning that keeping the secret kept her in good spirits and possibly alive.
What You Don't Know Lulu Wang Did you agree with the family's choice to deceive Wang's grandmother? I agree only because it is a tradition in their culture. I'm sure her grandmother knew she had some kind of sickness since she was already diagnosed with breast cancer before. Knowing that it is a possibility that the sickness could spread. I understand when you are close to someone and not wanting to tell them they are dying, but talking to someone that you love and hearing their voice knowing that they have a sickness that could kill them. Could hurt anyone. I guess that is why the family decided to not say anything. I wonder if the grandmother knew that her family was hiding something. It makes me think what they may have done prior for her late husband. I guess that her grandmother had no choice but to tell him once he was already in the hospital dying, which was sad. Me personally that would have been hard to not tell someone that I love. Looking at them knowing that they are going to die. We all know that life is not guaranteed and that death is certain. When have you made an important choice to tell someone a difficult truth or you made an important choice to tell a lie that had a major impact on you and/or someone else? When I was fifteen years old I was in foster care and my mother was away in rehab. I had a boyfriend at the time and I thought that was someone that I loved. I was four months into the relationship and found out that I was pregnant. I was excited but also scared. I couldn't believe that I was going to be someone's mother. So not only did I have to tell my mother but i also had to tell my foster mom at the time. I didn't want to tell her knowing what she was already going through being in rehab. I had to though so I remember calling the place that my mom was living at. I asked for her and I remember being so scared. She finally got on the phone and she said ''Mosh I can't be on the phone long I'm still on my thirty day blackout''. She said'' I also have to talk on speaker''. I said I really don't want everyone in my business. She said ''you gon have to or talk to me in thirty days''. I just blurted it out ''mom I'm pregnant '' she said ''well how are you feeling'' I said I can't believe that I'm pregnant . She said '' did you tell your dad'' I said no way he is going to be so mad at me. What I didn't know that was not the end of my worries. When I hung up with my mom I told my foster mom at that time. She told me that i couldn't live there anymore because she doesn't do care for mom and babies. That was the first time in my life I truly felt unwanted. My difficult truth caused me to be in eight other foster homes up until i was eighteen years old.
