Chu-Yi Fanfiction
Chu-yi adjusted her backpack straps and prepared for the climb down the hazardous ladder. She took her first few steps down the ladder cautiously, being careful not to make any mistakes that would end in a certain death. Wind blew through Chu-yi's hair and caused the ladder to shake. Chu-yi stopped moving and felt as if her heart had skipped a beat. The wind pushed the ladder to the left, but Chu-yi gently swung her body to the right. With each careful step, Chu-yi finally made it successfully down the ladder. She followed the neat, stone path leading to her home village. Chu-yi managed to catch her breath and grasp the realization that she had made it home. Just steps from her front door, Chu-yi worried at the thought of the amount of trouble …show more content…
Chu-yi replied only with silence. She removed her hand woven backpack and opened it. She revealed the bird's nest. Her mother carefully picked the bird's nest up with tears streaming down her rosy cheeks. Father, mother, and grandfather all smiled at the sight of the nest that was sure to be a major help. Chu-yi's mother whispered something to father and walked down the hallway to Chu-yi's uncle's room. After a few minutes of hearing the muffled talking coming from the room of Chu-yi's uncle, came out looking …show more content…
Chu-yi held her head low clearly feeling shameful. Her uncle grabbed her bag and rummaged through it looking for the nest. Mother waved her hand in an attempt to get her uncle's attention. Chu-yi's uncle looked at mother with a burning hot anger sizzling on his face. She motioned her hand toward the bird's nest lying on the table. After seeing the sight of the beautiful nest, her uncle clutched his hands into fists and stormed out of the room. Chu-yi walked to her room with her eyes still fixed on the ground. She sat on her bed and peered out the window with tears rolling from her eyes. After watching the sun set among the mountain she once climbed, Chu-yi closed her curtains and remained sitting in pure silence. Chu-yi felt a headache from the somewhat endless hours of crying and was unable to cry again. Her uncle walked into her room, with his once angered face that turned into a face of kindness. "I'm sorry, Chu-yi." apologized her uncle. "Me too." replied

    I was always hopeful for Li, and felt lucky that my son, out of all other promising students in Qindao, had been chosen to dance for Chairman Mao. Although the luck of the Cunxin family had changed, it was difficult to adjust to life in the commune without Li’s presence as a guiding light, or a helping hand. Having 7 sons while living our conditions was stressful on my poor heart, and Li was aware of this. He always told me how he wished he could help me feel better. He was a good boy, and is to this day. There were days when all I wanted to do was scream and shout at those boys, but Li made me feel comfortable and safe. He always would show me love and affection either through his kind and encouraging words, or through the warmth of his comforting cuddles. That little boy had no idea that his success was our hope of breaking out of the vicious cycle of poverty. If he had known this, he might have been keener to go to the dance academy. The day Li had been chosen was one of the happiest of my life.…

Through changing perspective, Lee employs emotional interests to emphasize the conflicting perspectives that exist between father and son. Lee also adds depth to the shared “love” between the two characters to illuminate the theme of innocence and changing relationships over the course of time.…
