In the book Chu Ju’s House, I learned that Chu Ju was very
unselfish and was always thinking of others.
Chu Ju’s mother had just had a second daughter but their family really
wanted a son. The law in China says that a family can only have two
children.
I know that Chu Ju was unselfish because of what she did for her little
sister.
Chu Ju was
the only child in her family and her mother was pregnant. Their family was
really hoping for a boy. When the baby was born, it was a girl.
The baby was going to be sold to a mean woman. Since Chu Ju loved the
baby a lot, she ran away so that her family could keep the baby and have a boy.
Another way I know that Chu Ju was unselfish was when she came to a
women with a son named Quan. He did
not like to work in the rice paddies where they lived so Quan went to a Shanghai
in China. He was arrested because he didn’t have a residents' permit.
Quan
wrote a letter to Chu Ju telling her to take the money he had sent and come to
Shanghai to get him out of jail. Chu Ju lied to Han Na and told her that she was
going to visit her family. She took a train to Shanghai and got Quan out of
jail. Quan said that he wanted to stay in the city, so Chu Ju went back by herself.
