Our pet pigeons... an allegory of the Asian diaspora experience

[WhenTheyCry]

Our pet pigeons are being attacked from both the sky and the ground. Eagles were hunting them, and now snakes are entering their pigeon home and swallowing them. The eagles represent the proud and explicit threat of the white conservatives. The snakes represent the insidious and hidden threat of the white liberals. It's tragic to be born as a prey animal. My dad has now opened their cage permanently, to let them fly away so that no more snakes will breed after eating them. The cage represents the security net of China that we emigrated. The price of gaining freedom is exposing yourself to the dangers of the world. Thoughever even if you hide in your cage you still risk death.
