A ginkgo leaf drifted past the window, and I thought of my grandmother's silver hairpin.

She was said to be the most beautiful girl for miles around. She turned down the county mayor's son and married a factory worker with nothing to his name. Her mother called her foolish — then quietly scraped together enough to have a silver ginkgo hairpin made for her wedding day.

When my grandfather fell ill, my grandmother — small, soft-spoken — walked into the hardest shift at the factory and outworked everyone twice her size. She never let hardship touch her appearance. She dressed carefully, carried herself with dignity. That was her armour.

The silver hairpin nearly went to the pawnshop more than once. It never did. Over the years, it became something like a talisman — a reminder that she had survived everything before, and would again.
On every important occasion, she would wear it. When I asked what the ginkgo leaf represented, she smiled and said: "Leaves that fall like gold. Good fortune is on its way. A wish for one's own beautiful future — and the belief that no matter what comes, you will find a way through."
