"I am not exaggerating when I say that Luo was the best friend I ever had." (Sijie 9)
The Narrator and Luo are inseparable. Their trust in each other is tested time and time again as they struggle through re-education and the hidden books of "reactionary trash". Their bond soon stretches out to the Little Seamstress when they share their hidden books with her in order to open up a whole new perspective of life and how to live it. Their friendship is taken to the brink when secrets attempt to emerge, and the real test lies within.
