Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:58:33 +0000 http://adelineyenmah.com/?page_id=68#comment-944 Dear Mrs. Mah, So we started reading "Chinese Cinderella" in our Honors English II class in highschool about two weeks ago to dive into our topic of Chinese world literature; inwhich, my mother is actually the teacher of the class, her and I got to conversing about the book, Asia, etc. Yearly she brings in my Grandmother whom also started reading the book last week, since she is coming into our class to talk about China she wanted a topic (Your book) to relate to us with. So her and I were on the phone the other day when she suddenly stopped me (This is the weird part) and brought up the book. My Grandmother being a orphan from Shanghai(the reason my mother assigned the book to the class)wen't to the exact same school as you did in Shanghai, and is 3 years older then you. I found this bone chillingly amazing, so I decided to contact you and inform you of this amazing coincidence. Some background on my grandmother is she lived in an orphanage for quite some time until it burned down. Any how thanks for the superb book, love it. Sorry about your childhood, i'm glad you surived your life serves as a testiment to all others in "life's dire snare". Keep writing! Sincerely, Jordan Dear Mrs. Mah,

I found your book ( Chineses Cinderella) amazing, we've just finished reading it and I'm hoping to read Falling Leaves. I loved your book because it was very touching and clear mean people were sometimes. I'm so sorry you had to be seperated from Aunt Baba, I'm not sure how you coped! I'd hate to be seperated fom my Aunty even though I hardly see her because she lives ages away.It must had been quite hard moving schools because you'd make friends and settle in and then you would have to move again. My favourite chapters were PLT, Family reunion and First day at school( Well all of them were I just liked those the best!). I hope your life is much more peaceful now then what it was. Yours Sincerely Katie Lammonby P.S Hope you're well!!!!! Dear Adeline,

I moved to Australia. I have read nearly all your books and love them all. Your books brought a lot of message to me, how you suffered as a unwanted child and kept trying hard. I'd love to read all your books, whenever i grab one of your books, i start reading it immediately. I usually feel lonely too, i felt unwanted once, but your words supported me. I have learnt a lot about you reading through your books, they always make me think. I can't wait till your next book to be published, i would wait as long as I can. I would also love to see your books in a movie. I hope to write to you again. Take Care. From Daina Dear Mrs Adeline Yen Mah,

I've never read a book that i half wanted to finish, but also was scared of what would happen at the end of it. I think you were very brave even back then, no person should have to go through what you had to indure, and I'm sorry about what happened to your grandparents back then, but from what you sound like in your book, i think they would have been proud of you. thanks for sharing your life with my class, yours is truely a story of inspiration. P.S PLT sounded like a wonderful pet, and i was sad to here how his life was cut short :) thank you again hi,

I realize that asking for your help with my school work regarding your book was impolite and I am sorry about it. I would just like to know if you keep in contact with your brothers and sisters and your cousins, Victor and Claudine and if your brothers and sisters jealous of your success and if they are sorry for the way they treated you.

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:16:07 +0000 http://adelineyenmah.com/?page_id=68#comment-932 Dear Ms. Mah, My name is Heming, and I just turned 17 this year. I was born in China, but now living in United States. It was a sort of coincident that I was introduced to the "Chinese Cinderella" during one of my visits to the library. But after I started reading it, it seemed like I was meant to read it. So I searched for more of your books, and found "Falling Leaves". It was one of the best, if not the best, book I have ever read. My heart ached while reading. Your writing was so captivating that the words absorbed me into story, and it seemed like I was there with you. It was such a powerful story, and I don't think I can put it into words of how much I loved reading it. Growing up in China, and experiencing its culture, I understood and connected to your story, and that I cried when you experienced hardships. But the way you treated your father and Niang when visited you in America, and how you took care of Niang after your father passed away, I was surprised at your forgiveness. I do not know what I would have done if I was in your shoes. I want you to know that your books have been inspirations to me. I am so glad that, just like the fairy tale story, the Chinese Cinderella is living happily. I genuinely hope that everything will go well for you, because you deserve every bit of happiness. Best wishes, Heming Dear Ms. Mah,
