In spite of what your abusers would have had you believe, please be convinced that each of you has within you something precious and unique. To those who were neglected and unloved as children, I have a particular message. It is still important to be truthful and loyal to do the best you can to make me most of your talents to be happy with the simple things in life and to believe deep down that you will ultimately triumph if you try hard enough to prove your worth. Today, the world is very different place. Though my Chinese parents still prefer sons, daughters are not so much despised. The fact that this story is true may hold special appeal.
All stories, including fairy tales, present elemental truth which can sometimes your inner life and become part of you. In one way or another, every one of us has been shaped and moulded by the stories we have read and absorbed in the past. Though mine is but a simple, personal tale of my childhood, please do not underestimate the power of such stories. It was difficult and painful to write but I felt compelled to do so.
Chinese Cinderella is the story of her struggle for acceptance and how overcome the odds to prove her worth.Ĭhinese Cinderella is my autobiography. When Adeline Yen Mah's mother died giving birth to her, the family considered Adeline bad luck and she was made to feel unwanted all her life.
