Additional quotes by Lin Yutang
Como la tormenta no podía soplar en todas partes a la vez, siempre había algún rincón donde quedaban unas hojas, un rincón donde brillaba el sol y donde temporalmente había un refugio de paz. La historia de la Guerra de China, como la historia de todos los grandes movimientos, está escrita en las mentes y los corazones de su generación. Dentro de cincuenta o cien años, en las charlas caseras y los relatos de las viejas, se contarán las historias de miles de esas hojas barridas por la tormenta. Cada hoja en la tormenta es un individuo con un corazón y sentimientos y aspiraciones y deseos.
