I met Angel while stuffing my family’s restaurant menus under the front door of her apartment building. China Fresh was close to campus, and we delivered.
She clutched a map. “Do you speak Chinese?” she asked, her eyes wide and desperate.
This happened every so often, a Chinese man or woman urgently asking me, “Where is the nearest bathroom?” “Where is this street?” Their mounting panic turned to relief upon finding someone with a Chinese face to help them in this college town out on the prairie.
