天使与恶魔

我们的心里住着两个人，一个是好的，一个是坏的。好的俗称天使，它会劝导你去作好事，行行善。坏的那个，叫做恶魔，是怂恿你去干坏事、伤害人的幕后推手。人类是脆弱的，他们往往会经不住恶魔的诱惑，一步一步地迈向黑暗。就算良知被埋没、心灵被吞噬，他们还是无惧无恐，因为他们的双眼已经被邪恶的势力所蒙住，再也无法看清事实；他们的脑袋已被那股永无止息的欲望所荼毒，使得他们失去判断能力。为了追求金钱、权势、地位，他们会不折手段，就算会伤害到很多无辜的人，他们仍不会停止，因为他们已被恶魔完完全全地控制住。

虽然天使是好的，但它往往无法让人类安分地做个好人， 因为人类是贪婪的、虚荣的；他们永远都不会满足于现状。天使最后还是无法改变人类。没有人会一百分地接收天使，因为在每个人心中，有一个角落，是留给恶魔的。。。

在每个躯体里，都隐藏着两个不同的灵魂。不管你同意抑或否认，这还是一个不可改变的事实。

My review:
I've just read this book entitled Chinese Cinderella --- A Secret Story of An Unwanted Daughter. It's so touching and I cried for the poor little girl, Yan Jun-ling, who was deprived of love from her family since born. Her mother passed away after 3 weeks giving birth to her, and because of this, she was considered unlucky. Her father remarried after a year her mother left and this half-French, half-Chinese woman became her stepmother. This woman, her stepmother, whom she called niang, was worse than that of Cinderella's. Not only she mistreated Jun-ling, she also abused her stepdaughter emotionally and physically, by restricting her every move and always slapping her. Her father, who never cared for her, just stood still, watching the whole 'drama' going on, without any intentions of stopping his new-wife. She suffered throughout her whole childhood and the only ones who cared for her were her grandfather, ye-ye, and her aunt Baba. She was determined to change her fate and she managed to do this by studying as hard as she could so that she can get the nod from her father to her continue her studies abroad.

This is a wonderful memoir of Adeline Yen Mah's, which possesses the power to touch your soul, now and forever.

My rating : 10/10

Words from Adeline Yen Mah :
Chinese Cinderella is dedicated to you with the fervent wish that you will persist in trying to do your best in the face of hopelessness; to have faith that in the end your spirit will prevail; to transcend your traumas and transform them into a source of courage, creativity and compassion.
Mother Teresa once said that 'loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted are the greatest poverty'. To this I will add : ' Please believe that one single positive dream is more important than a thousand negative realities'.

Read this book, or you'll regret your whole life!
