Once upon a time, a little girl grew up ”under the protection of
her two older sisters.” The two big sisters were four and two
older than this baby, but they were so capable that they could
change her diapers and feed her. They could take her to go to
school and take her home. Day by day, she grew bigger and bigger,
stronger and stronger, and she started to return their love. She
started to earn money and she was required to pay the mortgage of
the family house--alone!
Little by little, she became exhausted. Because of the place she
worked, she got ill all the time--heart problem, chronical colds and
coughs. Before getting her job there, she was famous for being
healthy. Her friends even suspected that she was ill ON PURPOSE--
subconsciously of course. However, it was not the money problem nor
the health problem that bothered her. It was something called self-
esteem, not even self-actualization! She found that she could not
even spell one very simple English word. She panicked, ”Does that
mean I will live like this for the rest of my life?”
She decided to quit her job and start her career, which could offer
her more chances to acquire more intellectual communication with her
peers. Her decision irritated all of her family members. To many ”
sensible people,” her present job promised a bourgeois life, no
matter how static and rigid it was. She chose not to explain--
explaining was not her habit. Therefore, her bold behavior and
silence made her labeled as a traitor and she got all the blame.
Please imagine this: You can never picture this youngest girl, as
Lucy in Narnia Chronciles, crying her heart out for three days.
This girl was famous among her friends and in the eye of her
teachers for her kindness, quick mind and great sense of humor, but
her family never treasured this super quality of hers. She lived
like Matilda in the Wormwood family (in Roald Dahl’s Matilda). She
looked so tough, but actually she only acted tough to protect
herself.
On May 8, 2006, her former teacher showed one movie in class when
our heroine audited the class. That was The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe. In one scene of the movie, Professor was talking to Peter
and Susan about the magic of the wardrobe and the ”fiction that
Lucy made up.”
Professor: What does Lucy see in that wardrobe?
Susan: So you believe the wardrobe has magic power?
Professor: Are you family?
Susan and Peter: Yes.
Professor: And act like one!
I believe that This Heroine of Our Story Today was crying again when
she saw this scene.
”How can we help her?” once LV asked me in her e-mail. I said, ”
Let it be.” Hope that our heroine can have the courage and self-
trust that Lucy has, and earn her family’s love and support at last.
In the last part of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, when Peter
faced the wolf gang, Aslan did not come to help in person. He
simply said, ”It’s Peter’s battle. Let him fight for his war.”
Our Heroine joked this evening, ”You can write down the story and I
will try to link your News Station to my home computer, so that
SOMEONE can see and read it.” After she banged the car door shut,
she in no time yelled to me across the back door, ”You know I was
just trying to say the opposite, right?”
I didn’t answer. I am writing the story here to boost her up.
This is called SISTERHOOD!!!!!
