To my dearest Grandma, who would be so happy if she could see this book
Chairman mao, our beloved leader, smiled down at us from his place above the blackboard. The sounds and smells of the tantalizing may afternoon drifted in through the window. The sweet breeze carried the scent of new leaves and tender young grass and rippled the paper slogan below Chairman Mao's picture: STUDY HARD AND ADVANCE EVERY DAY. In the corner behind me the breeze also rustled the papers hanging from the Students' Garden, a beautifully decorated piece of cardboard that displayed exemplary work. One of them was my latest perfect math test.
