Chinese cinderella


This is one of my favourite story ever. it is similar to other cinderella story. But this is in Chinese version and also it is about a girl called Adeline Yen Mah who is unwanted daughter to the family. She have the potential energy but this is unrecognized by most of the family member. Niang is her step mom who married her dad when Adeline mom passed away shortly after Adeline birth. Her father thought she was the unlucky girl and because of Adeline, her mom have to died. All of the family member ignore her and thought she was too stupid and not talented. No matter how much her step mom insults her she still able to stand up and protect herself. Adeline never tell anything to her friends about family business. Eventually, Niang send her to boarding school in Tanjin far away from home, she was very lonely. Luckily one of Niang sister know Adeline was in Tanjin so she came and collect her to hong kong to live and learn there. While Adeline learn in hong kong her grandfather passed away and she was too upset. later on she win a writing contest and her father reward her something she never imagine.
i recommend this book for a primary students about 10+ yrs old, because it is really simple to understand and they will know how Adeline can stand up against her Niang just like little kids can protect themselves from the bullies.
