If you were Ji-Li would you testify against your father?

  1. I agree with Sam. It seems that they're going to make simply going to the market a four-old pretty soon! I can't imagine how she must feel to finally have the small shred of hope she obtained taken away from her. I also think that the Red Guards will inspect their home soon, and declare the father a bad person because he has a steady job. It seems like all the people who are lazy and are poor because of their own actions, are now taking it out on all the rich who work hard to get what they have.

  2. Now I am mad. The stupid government is making Jili and her family cutting up her grandmother's beautiful dowry, treasures,and past just because they are around 60 years old. That isn't even a century old, more like a half century! It is not very old. Jili's mother and father are tense and worried, and had to fire their confidant; their housekeeper, Song Popo. Now that is just ridiculous.Popo willingly chose to work for the family, nobody was forcing her.
    What I also find infuriating is that they take all the responsibilities from the teachers. Only the teachers know where each child should go to school, not the person who makes neighborhoods. I find that just so infuriating!

  3. I feel so horrible for Ji Li. Especially when she thought she was going to her dream school but found out she wasn't. I hate this government for destroying what has made families successful. Good people have suddenly turned to bad people and bad people to good people. Everything has been turned upside down and inside out. It is driving me crazy! Also, firing Song Popo was a huge mistake. Ji li has to do so much work now and Song Popo certainly didn't deserve to be fired.
