|
||
Mikaela Khara, also known as Mika,
|
||
was a 16-year-old trans girl from Beijing.
|
||
|
||
She was a top student who attended a special class in a Beijing high school, and her family was fairly well-off.
|
||
|
||
She enjoyed playing *Dead by Daylight* and researching network engineering.
|
||
Many people were willing to engage with her;
|
||
she had a wide range of hobbies,
|
||
and she gave off a very reliable "big sister" vibe.
|
||
Of course, she was indeed older than me.
|
||
But the reliability I once thought she had was just a feeling after all...
|
||
|
||
She had a sense of humor,
|
||
was very caring towards others,
|
||
but also struggled with gender identity and inner struggle.
|
||
She showed a lively side of herself,
|
||
but upon closer observation,
|
||
she revealed a deep awareness of her own situation.
|
||
|
||
## First Meeting
|
||
|
||
I first met Mika on the night of July 31st, 2023.
|
||
Her intention was clear ——
|
||
she wanted to "ship" me and Jing Jiangbie as a couple.
|
||
|
||
Later on, I learned that she was in a relationship with Spring Khara.
|
||
Even though they hadn't been together long,
|
||
I could tell from their conversations that they deeply loved each other.
|
||
At that time, she was one of my "little bells[^1]" as I often saw her and Spring flaunting their affection for each other.
|
||
|
||
Through our chats,
|
||
I began to realize that Mika’s family likely offered little emotional support.
|
||
She was longed for love and companionship and tended to become emotionally dependent on others.
|
||
About half a month later,
|
||
the four of us created a small group chat.
|
||
Almost every night, we’d make calls together,
|
||
and sometimes we’d watch Mika play Dead by Daylight in the voice channel.
|
||
|
||
I regret never watching Mika play.
|
||
Unfortunately, I was busy researching ways to earn money to prepare for my own independence and financial needs.
|
||
|
||
## The Breaking Point
|
||
|
||
Money was precisely the breaking point for Mika’s despair.
|
||
|
||
In late August, she tried coming out but ended up facing serious opposition.
|
||
What started as a typical situation—family conflict,
|
||
her parents not wanting her to undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
|
||
So Mika running away from home only to be brought back by the police—ended in conflict resolution at the local police station.
|
||
|
||
That was originally just a typical thing.
|
||
|
||
That night, Mika, Spring and I discussed her family conflicts and provided her with psychological support.
|
||
|
||
Spring realized she had an untouched ¥20,000 (~$2,800, 2023-09) that her family didn’t know about and asked me for advice on how to invest it.
|
||
|
||
The two of them had a simple plan: escape together.
|
||
The next day, they opened a joint account at China Merchants Bank (CMB).
|
||
|
||
Once they had money, they began indulging in high expenses frequently, posting on Twitter about their luxurious dates.
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
By September, I started noticing cracks in their relationship due to their financial strain and Mika's dependency on Spring.
|
||
|
||
Later, I found out that Mika sought out [Yemaomao](https://twitter.com/cmtfdd) for companionship,
|
||
and what happened during that time was something Spring found hard to accept.
|
||
|
||
Mika simply wanted to escape because she couldn't bear her family’s constraints on her gender identity.
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
From September 21st to October 4th,
|
||
Mika and Spring were in a toxic relationship.
|
||
Mika used Spring’s last bit of money to buy a box of Progynon Depot,
|
||
but she barely took a few shots in the end.
|
||
|
||
Mika mostly wanted to be loved and cared for,
|
||
trying her best to please others.
|
||
However, her circumstances trapped her,
|
||
making her love seem pathological to Spring,
|
||
though it was still genuine.
|
||
|
||
## From Xiawafang to Tianjin Eye
|
||
|
||
On October 15th, Mika suddenly contacted me,
|
||
asking if I could take over her Twitter account.
|
||
I was on my way to Tianjin Library but suddenly realized something was wrong.
|
||
Huai An (𝓠𝓾𝓪𝓷's classmate in high school) and I decided to get off at XIAWAFANG Station[^2] and call the police to save Mika.
|
||
Before leaving the station, I briefly called Mika, trying to calm her down.
|
||
|
||
"It’s no use. I’ve locked the door from the inside."
|
||
"Tell Spring I love her very much."
|
||
|
||
Those were Mika’s last words, and at that moment, I felt utterly powerless.
|
||
|
||
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>To be continued...</summary>
|
||
|
||
I received confirmed news of Mika’s departure on October 24th.
|
||
|
||
Because of a previous competition I qualified for, I went to Sanchakou(three-river-junction) that day.
|
||
|
||
Since parking wasn’t allowed inside the Children's Palace,
|
||
we changed clothes in the parking lot beneath the Tianjin Eye.
|
||
|
||
And just as we got out of the car, the message came through:
|
||
|
||
“They couldn’t bring her back.”
|
||
|
||
“This is Yongle Bridge, with the Tianjin Eye perched on top. It’s a perfect spot for a date. If you ever have the chance to visit, I’ll treat you to a ride~”
|
||
|
||
“Thank you, 𝓠𝓾𝓪𝓷~ I’ve been thinking about riding it for a while. When the time comes, will you join me?”
|
||
|
||
As I stood before the Tianjin Eye, these memories came flooding back, freezing everything in place. I forced myself to suppress the sorrow, and although I didn’t perform well, I still completed the final performance of the competition.
|
||
|
||
Later, I asked a friend about their impression of Mika:
|
||
|
||
> I think Mika was just a poor child, probably insecure and desperately wanting someone to rely on.
|
||
>
|
||
> Her experiences were so similar to mine.
|
||
>
|
||
> Her body was covered in scars from the beatings she endured at home. When I saw them, I wanted to cry.
|
||
>
|
||
> I think... she probably died full of grievances. It didn’t seem like relief at all.
|
||
>
|
||
> From what I could tell, before she died, she still wanted to feel love. If someone could have gone to her in person and hugged her, it might have made a difference.
|
||
>
|
||
> I could have gone...
|
||
>
|
||
> I had promised to visit her in December, to spend Christmas with her, to make dumplings and eat boiled shrimp together.
|
||
>
|
||
> There were times when it felt like she was begging me to come.
|
||
|
||
From Sanchakou,
|
||
if you follow the Ziya River and the North Canal upstream,
|
||
the currents will carry you northward,
|
||
all the way to the heart of Beijing.
|
||
|
||
And now, here I am,
|
||
standing at Sanchakou,
|
||
where past memories and thoughts all seem to converge.
|
||
|
||
Her sudden departure brought everything to an abrupt halt,
|
||
as if all the stories left unfinished were frozen in that moment.
|
||
|
||
All those promises...making dumplings, celebrating Christmas...have now become dreams with nowhere to rest.
|
||
|
||
I don’t think Mika truly wanted to leave this world.
|
||
She was just so desperate for someone to hear her inner cries,
|
||
for someone to hold her and offer her a place to belong.
|
||
She lived too clearly in a world too complicated, and she carried that clarity alone,
|
||
hidden beneath layers of pain that eventually overwhelmed her like a flood.
|
||
|
||
“If I had realized sooner and been firmer, would things have turned out differently?”
|
||
|
||
This question haunts me like a recurring nightmare.
|
||
But time moves on without compassion,
|
||
moving forward without pause, leaving us only with regret and endless longing.
|
||
|
||
Standing at Sanchakou, the cold wind brushes against my face.
|
||
|
||
Before me, the rivers flow endlessly—they merge, part, and course toward the Bohai Sea, never turning back, much like life itself.
|
||
|
||
Mika once said,
|
||
“I hope that one day we can sit on the Tianjin Eye and admire the view together.”
|
||
|
||
I know now that she may never get to see that view.
|
||
But her story, her love, and her misunderstood persistence will forever remain in the hearts of those who remember her.
|
||
|
||
Love has never really disappears...it’s just that we can no longer speak it to her in person.

## Epilogue
|
||
|
||
Mika’s story includes many aspects that I can’t openly share,
|
||
such as details about her family, friends.
|
||
And those close to her advised me to keep certain things private.
|
||
So I can only write up to this point.
|
||
|
||
One night, in a group chat, I was on a call with Mika.
|
||
|
||
"𝓠𝓾𝓪𝓷, I really want to contribute to the community."
|
||
|
||
"I want to help many people like me survive."
|
||
|
||
"But my situation and environment make it difficult."
|
||
|
||
"If there’s a chance, maybe in the future, I’ll start a company with the name XiaoYaoNiang(XYN)."
|
||
|
||
"I think those sisters who run shelters are really amazing."
|
||
|
||
"If I could one day be like them, able to help others…"
|
||
|
||
"That would be so wonderful."
|
||
|
||
This is the origin of XYN (Tianjin) Technology.
