Lindo Jong tells an ANECDOTE of her marriage. She had an arranged marriage to Tyan-yu that was made by the matchmaker. The matchmaker chose Tyan-yu when they were both very young. When Lindo Jong was twelve, her family had to move because of a flood. She was sent to live with the Huangs. She was determined to honor her parents, so she obeyed every wish of the Huangs.
They had a small wedding at the Huang house. Lindo Jong made a promise to herself and said, “I would always remember my parents’ wishes, but I would never forget myself.” After a few years, Lindo Jong told everyone of a dream she had. In the dream, she was told that awful things would happen if she did not leave Tyan-yu. Everyone believed her, so she left and went to America.
