“When I first heard the story, I was like uhm, no, I couldn’t,” Awkwafina answered when asked about her stand on not telling Nai Nai about her health condition. “But then being in China and understanding the reasoning for it—it’s done for love, because you don’t want them to carry that burden, you want to go through the burden for them.
“I realized that as someone who had been going back to China to see some of my relatives whom I can’t understand, there is a bond that does not need words.” “Also, ever since I was a kid, I had this [raspy] voice.
