"Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful, Dad?" Mei Mei asks, partly in jest, but with a great degree of earnestness, as she pours over photo albums of her in her finest drag ensembles at her parents' home in Dandong.

"It's okay," he admits and chuckles softly, as does most of the audience watching this documentary at The Boat on Liangmahelu, Oct 17.

"But I wonder," he asks. "How can the person in the photos be my son?"

Looking at Mei Mei, Li Dong, seated directly across from me during the screening of this documentary film made about her life, it hits me how hard it is to believe she is anyone's son.
