"Very generous and patient," I nodded.
"Anyway," Kang stood up and cleared her throat, assuming a serious tone. "I need to read something to you ladies, and I need you to listen carefully to what I am about to say."
Kang stood in the middle of the room and took a piece of paper out of her purse. She unfolded it, cleared her throat, and began to speak in a clear, steady voice.
"Most gracious host, my dear fellow Mao sisters, daughters of our beloved China," Kang began, nodding first at me and then at the rest of the ladies. "I stand before you today as a proud woman and a proud Chinese. I have for long sought your approval and acceptance, and today I find myself overjoyed by your warm welcome and your generous embrace. For a long time, I must confess, I have felt remote and distant from you, my dear sisters. You have granted me respect and deference, and even love, but you have looked upon me all these years as a deviant, someone to reproach rather than to emulate, someone to blame rather than to praise. And I understand and do not blame you, and I respect you. My hunger for sex has always been excessive, and, I will submit and grant, remains excessive in spite of the years, and my lust for men, large or small, young or old, white, yellow, brown, or black, continues to define who I am and how I view life. My long record of sleeping with hundreds of men through the years has repulsed you, I know full well, and has driven you to view me as though I were an immoral animal. And again, I do not blame you for your feelings. And I do not blame your husbands, either, who have sneered at me and looked at me with hostility. I do not blame them because I understand them: I understand that they felt threatened and one should never blame another for acting our of fear. But I am here to tell you, my dear sisters, that I am not a beast and that I am not immoral -- that I know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and that in every action I have taken and in every word I have spoken, I have sought to ensure that no one was hurt as a result of my deeds."
We clapped warmly at this point, all of us nodding and smiling at Kang, and then fell silent.
Kang continued: "All these years, I have sought one thing and one thing only: my freedom and my dignity in a world full of men unwilling or unable to deal with me for who I was rather than for what they saw me as -- a walking, talking vagina. I realized from the first moment I became conscious, when I was a tiny girl, that I was the equal of every other human being on this earth, man or woman, and that no one was superior to me, nor was I superior to anyone else. And yet, that very basic fact was challenged and rejected at every turn. I was handsome and attractive, so boys wanted to kiss me and touch my young breasts. When they addressed me, they used simple words and spoke in funny, baby voices, and I was confused and did not like it. It was only after I came to this country that I finally understood what it was all about: that it was a simple matter of males wanting to copulate with females. And that was when I decided that I had to do something about it: I had to take on the world of men head on, and to conquer that world, at least within my own small sphere, and turn the table on these men who were ruling us with their smelly cocks."
The girls smiled and some giggled.
"And I have done just so: no man has ever dominated me, or told me what to do, or ordered me around without suffering severe consequences."
She then lifted her skirt and pulled down her panties and said, pointing to her vagina, "This pussy has seen many cocks. Cocks of all races. And this pussy has enjoyed itself beyond belief." Then she pulled up her panties and tugged her skirt down, and continued. "But it is now time that we move to the next step: the step where my lessons are learned by all of you, where you take hold of your freedom and assert your standing in this world as an absolutely free human being."
