Særligt det kapitel om, hvordan nyfødte piger blev "ordnet" ude på landet, fordi den førstefødte skulle være en dreng, og så kunne en pige ikke få lov at overleve, var grusomt. Især da jeg for nogle dage siden stod med en fin pige i armene.
Formålet med bogen er, at de adopterede piger skal vide, hvor håbløst det har været for deres mor at beholde dem, og hvor meget savn mødrene til de mistede piger bærer rundt på. Samt, hvor fuldstændigt håbløst det er at tro at de vil kunne finde deres biologiske mor.
Barsk, men alligevel ikke til at lægge fra sig.
The February book was bought on a book sale. I DON'T know why I end up with books like this, because this one is really tough. In English, it's called "Message from an Unknown Chinese mother", and is telling about the background of all the little girls adopted from China.
Especially the chapter about how newborn girls were "taken care of" in the countryside, because the firstborn needed to be a boy, why a girl couldn't survive, was cruel. Especially a few days ago, when I stood with a beautiful girl in my arms.
The purpose of this book is for the adopted girls to know how impossible it has been for their mothers to keep them, and how much longing these mothers of the lost girls are carrying around. Furthermore, how hopelessly impossible it would be to find their biological mother.
Very, very tough, but difficult to put down.
Det lyder grusomt. Og alligevel en vigtig historie at fortælle.
SvarSletDen er også grusom, men samtidig føler man så utroligt meget for de stakkels kvinder som blev tvunget til at opgive deres små piger. Og ikke kunne finde dem igen. Det er en vigtig historie for alle de adopterede piger!
