Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
People only see my difference: a mountain girl who had never stepped into a classroom before the age of seventeen, but now wears a high hat of academic qualifications, shining brightly. Only I know my true face: I come from a family that few people can imagine. My childhood was made of scrap copper and rotten iron in the garbage dump, where there was no sound of reading, only the roar of cranes. Not going to school and not seeking medical treatment are the loyalty and truth that my father wants us to uphold. My father does not allow us to have our own voices, and our will is a demon in his eyes. Harvard University, Cambridge University, Master of Philosophy, Doctor of History... I know that an ignorant girl like me who crawled out of the garbage dump should be grateful for what she has achieved today. But I can't get enthusiastic at all. I was cowardly, collapsed, and self-doubting. Something in my heart was rotten and stinking. Until I escaped from the mountains and opened up another world. That is the new world that education has given me, and that is the infinite possibility of my life.
