My mom taught me to read Chinese at a very young age. My parents and neighbours tell me that I was three when I started to read newspapers and books. Anyway, I do remember people called me “shen tong”,which means “gifted child”. So my dad decided that I should go to elementary school early.

In China you are supposed to enter the first grade if you are six by June 30th of the school year. I was born in the latter half of the year, so I wasn’t supposed to enter elementary school until I was almost seven. However, I was still sent to school. As a result, my classmates were older than me. But I did pretty well in class, and stood out in math and language tests.

After the 4th grade, I moved to America, and I didn’t know any English. At first I was put into the fifth grade class. Since I didn’t understand anything, it was pretty tough. So my mom decided that I should still stay in the fourth grade class. This turned out to be a good choice.

When I was 23 years old I was in a dangerous relationship with the man who was my fiancé at the time. I was being physically and verbally abused on a daily basis. I was financially tied to him after he spent all my savings to pay his debts but I wanted to be free!

For the longest time I was too embarrassed to tell my mother about the situation. She had warned me about him. But, eventually, I worked up the courage to tell her and she sent me the money I needed to leave. Before the money arrived, he found out what I planned to do. I was scared of what he might do that I decided to leave without taking all my belongings and just get out there.

Then, on my way to safety, my car died! I had automobile insurance (thanks to my mom) so I called the AAA and had them pull the car to a garage. It turned o
