Summary
In the last pages of Chinese Cinderella, Adeline gets sick, is treated at a hospital, and returns to her house to recuperate for a week. Later on, Adeline writes an essay, for a contest, dedicated to her Grand Father, Ye Ye. Before she gets news that she wins the contest, her grandfather dies and she is heartbroken. When she gets news that she won, her father requests her home after school where he talks to her about how proud he is that she won and was on the news. She asks him about going to school in England with her two older brothers, and he agrees, having her study to become a doctor. In the end, she receives a letter from her Aunt Baba, where she tells her about how she misses Adeline, and about a Chinese story similar to Cinderella.
Quote
"Ye Xian ran home but lost one shoes, which was found by the War Lord."(Yen Mah 196)
Reaction
Finally!! I didn't expect the happiness of Adeline would come in the very very end! But I'm glad that things get better for her and that she is able to go to college in england! I also know now why the story is titled "Chinese Cinderella." Her Aunt Baba thinks of Adeline as the Chinese Cinderella in the story of Ye Xian. In the quote on page 196, it clearly shows how the Chinese story relates to the American story about a missing shoe. I'm glad that things are brighter for Adeline!
