Below is page 9 of my: “Memoir: Foolishly Brave Unconditionally Blessed, From a Chinese Girl to American Working Mother”.

(Continued from page 8)

I was only six years old, but I knew it wasn’t a good thing to put manure on someone’s hair. These two boys were just laughing about it.

I don’t know where I got the courage, but I said to the two boys, “Don’t do that to Xiaoxia.”

The two looked at me and each other, and then laughed and continued to put manure on Xiaoxia’s head.

The two boys were bigger than me. I wouldn’t win a fight. I didn’t even know how to fight at six years old. So I just said, “I’ll tell your parents!” Actually, I only knew those boys lived on the other side of the village, but I didn’t know which house was theirs. I walked behind a house and walked a circle. When I came back the two boys were gone. Xiaoxia was still standing there crying. I took Xiaoxia’s hand and we tried to use a stick to take the manure off in her hair. It was almost dark, so I walked Xiaoxia home.

When I returned to my grandparent’s home, I told them what happened. My grandpa said, “Those bad boys! They bully a girl without a mother!” My grandma sighed, “Aaaee. Poor kids without a mother.”

Twelve years later I was about eighteen and a freshman in college. During winter vacation I took a bus and visited my grandparents in the village. All my childhood friends came to see me. Xiaoxia had grown to a seventeen-year-old woman. I hardly recognized her. She told me that she still remembered the time I helped to save her from the bullies.
