GRAIN BUDS
小满

Grain Buds is a graphic novel talking about a girl in a famine-struck village who discovers her best friend is a fading deity who might be able to save her family–forcing her to choose between friendship, survival, and unthinkable sacrifice.

The story is inspired by my grandmother’s experiences. When she was young, she lived through times of famine and hunger–experiences that have left a lasting mark on her. She never wastes any food; even keeps leftovers that might be spoiled. That’s why I wanted to turn this piece of family history into a story–to remember the hardhsips and appreciate the sweetness of the present. Never take anything you have for granted.
