In at least one hundred words, discuss the motivation behind Aina's desire to reconnect with her former teacher, Zhu Wenli, and how this desire and its conclusion develop the theme of "Decade" by Ha Jin.

Explanation:

In Ha Jin's "A Decade," Aina wants to apologize to Zhu. When she was a child, she heard Zhu analyze a work from Mao Zedong. He used a metaphor to compare Americans to dirt. Zhu did not like this and told the children that Americans were human just like the Chinese. Aina and her friends reported Zhu, thinking they were doing the right thing. However, as a result, of this, this kind and caring woman is tortured and made to work. When Zhu comes in a decade's time, she finds that Zhu has become a course, old woman. This greatly saddens Aina, as the Chinese government has made this woman into a shell of what she once was.
