Meeting #859
SZTM's 859th meeting review, themed Be Positive, Be Patient. Stella spoke about growing up in a son preference family and becoming financially independent despite it, and Leah, though sick and hoarse, still gave her speech with her usual humor. A round table panel on storytelling followed, with Poonima on handling life transitions, Sampson on learning from others' example, and Jevon on his personal story of life in Canada, and the post notes that most attendees had tested positive for Covid-19 yet still came to the meeting.

From the group chat
“I like Leah’s little stories, warm, sad, angry, so truly unveiling feelings a lot of us have, and the well-weaved stories show a positive light in this challenging time. Awesome Leah [强][强]”
“I felt Leah spoke from her heart and you were sensitive to things we all know is happening but sometimes don’t want to talk about. I’m sorry to hear you lost someone…”
“I vote Leah for the calling for cheaper medicine. (I missed the vote thought, had to accommadate my son to shower and brush his teech)”
The club posted its own write-up that week. Some of what it said, in the words it used:
Stella was born in a son preference’s family, it cast a shadow on her chilhood. she wanted to revenge，but failed。but she never stops to show that although she is female，she does better than most males。she can afford a apartment，a car by herself。
Although Leah is sick, she took the speech slot. Her voice is hoarse, but nothing can stop her charm.
Most of us have tested positive, although some are sick, they still stick to join the meeting. SZTM sticks together.
