888 Love and The Divine Burden of Numbers
by Abraham Chang
Young Wang has received plenty of wisdom from his beloved uncle: don’t take life too seriously, get out on the road when you can, and everyone gets just seven great loves in their life-so don’t blow it. This last one sticks with Young as he is an obsessive cataloger of his life: movies watched, favorite albums... all filtered through Chinese numerology and superstition. He finds meaning in almost everything, for which his two best friends endlessly tease him. But then, at the end of 1995, when Young is at New York University, he meets Erena. She’s brilliant, charismatic, quick-witted, and crassly funny. They fall in love and, for Young, it feels so real that he’s thrilled and terrified. As Young and Erena’s relationship blossoms, we get flashbacks to Young’s first five loves. That means Erena is “number six.” Was his uncle wrong-is she the one and only? Or are they fated for failure to make room for Young’s final, seventh love?
