After her stepmother and sister left, Ye Xian dressed herself in a beautiful cloak of kingfisher feathers and a pair of gold shoes that were light and elegant.At the festival she spoke briefly to the local warlord, who was much struck by her beauty. Her stepmother recognized her and gave chase. Ye Xian ran home but lost one of her shoes, which was found by the warlord. He ordered all the girls in his kingdom to try it on, but it was too small. The cobbler who made the shoes came forward and told the402/424warlord of Ye Xian, who had traded one of her pots for the gold shoes. Through her own talent and effort, Ye Xian had bought the shoes that led eventually to marriage with the warlord. They lived happily ever after.In England and America, your GrandAunt tells me there is a similar story called “Cinderella.” In a way, both YeXian and Cinderella are like you: children who are mourning for their dead mothers. Their stories may be perceived as talismans against despair.By winning that prestigious international playwriting competition, you have climbed another rung on the ladder of success. Like Ye Xian, you have defied the odds and garnered triumph through your own efforts. Your future is403/424limitless, and I shall always be proud of you,MY CHINESE CINDERELLA
