Quote #7
"Of course they should respect you—after all, you're a Young," Su Yi said. (3.13.87)

Quote #8
"You've deprived me from knowing my father, my real family…You lied to me. About the most important thing in my life." (3.15.48-3.15.50)
Rachel certainly values family in a different way than many of the other characters in the book, hence her feelings of betrayal about not knowing the truth of her father.
Quote #9
"I never want to be a part of a family like yours. I can't marry into a clan that thinks it's too good to have me. And I don't want my children to ever be connected to such people. I want them to grow up in a loving, nurturing home, surrounded by grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins who consider them equals." (3.15.148)
