  • Wow, the stuff that Adeline had to go through at such a young age is crazy.

  • lol this book is boring lol iam reading it at the momet for school

  • we r readin this bk at school ATM in english and its really sad i cried twice. and we havent finished the book yet. i cried when her family forgot her when she got lost after school. and when the boys made her drink their pee.

    if u dont mind sad stories u shud read it.

  • i absolutely loved this book! i just feel bad because her entire family (except Ye-Ye, aunt baba and Nai-Nai, and some cases with third brother) were mean to her.

  • Just got done reading this. Good book. Some aspects of her childhood reminds me of mine. I would do extremely well in school and come home to little recognition and hell.

  • Niang was so cruel! I really wonder what made her the way she was. Adeline's father did not even seem to care about the treatment of his first children. How sad.

  • @Chichiri520 yeah I hope Niang would rot in hell for what she did to Adeline, no wonder that douche is

    so mean

  • @TheStrawberryGoddess

    Exactly! I was rereading the book a few days ago and I could not believe how the dad (and Niang) treated Adeline after winning so many awards and accomplishments at school. ANY parent would be proud of their child.

  • @Chichiri520 gosh but as far as im concerned i read the last part of the book and her dad was proud of her

    in playwright competition but he refused her to be a writer and take medical exam instead, man how can a parent do that I hope her dad and her step-mom would burn in hell for what they had treated for her

  • what is the music you played in this video?

    it's too cool! who's the artist?

    xie xie !

  • i realy love this book and i would like 2 knw if there is a movie out or an upcoming movie that is like or is realating to his book plz tell me if knw n e thing

  • This book is soo sad, i had no idea so many people had read it!!

    Its so sad when she is on the airoplane and her dad asks her when her birthday is and when she is in the place all alone, i feel so sorry for her, but i kinda look up to her too ^-^

  • im reaidn this book right now its so sad!!

  • this is an awesome video

  • that was good.

  • lol hopefully this will help me on the test that i'm gunna have in my english class on the book, ha ha havn't read any of the book. oh well thx for posting this though, it's the closest thing to a chapter summery that i could find. ha thx again

  • I read this book and I was just SHOCKED at the level of negelect Adeline suffered as a child. I sometimes wonder how on earth someone can look at their own child and shun it like her father did.

    Adeline's story is a must-read for everyone.

  • @bjnboy But despite the lack of love she had, she persevered in life to be who she is today. Her story is something for other Cinderellas out there to understand they are not alone

  • @samanthafoo

    Definately. The movie "Precious" is an example of that.

  • This book is a true emotional masterpiece, and dedicated to all children who are abused and neglected by their own families.

  • I love this book!!, I cried three times while reading it! I am now reading her autobiography, "Falling Leaves".

  • really? my school book list for form 3 says we have to read this book!! so i decided to look for it. it looks so beautiful...can u tell me what it is about plz?

  • Well I would hate to give away any details, but it is about a young girl and how she is treated by her family . She goes through alot with her wicked step-mother . it's a great read though and I hope youlike it!

  • This is My Favorite Book! , I'm reading it right now!

  • i have this book!even though she's old,she still looks young!

  • maybe its because she expirienced the same thing

  • my classmate cried when they read this book but me, not even a tears fall on my cheeks, i dont know why? but im very touched with this!

  • some people are like that... me... im the same way i didnt cry when i read this book but it really touched me and made me sad..

  • some people just gets touched and others cry... depends on the person

  • i have read the first one i have borrowed out the 2nd book ur video was good but could not read all of it in ur vd cuz of the colour of writing it went to fast but bery good5/5

  • ohh yay im almost done with tis book and i didnt know there was book 2 so im going to buy it after i finish this one!!

  • do u know a website where to read this? I have summer reading thats why, lol

  • huh? what do you mean "where to read this" read the book?

  • lol i have summer reading but i sugest u buy the book cause i looked everywere and they didnt have it..so now im reading it from the book!! im almost done...its really good!

  • I thought this was a awesome video! I really love Chinese Cinderella, and am planning on buying Falling Leaves. Niang makes a three headed monster plus Medusa plus all the evil creatures in story books look like sweet puppy dogs. And worse still, she's a real person! I really dislike her and her mistreatment of Adeline. No wonder her own daugher (Susan, Adeline's Little Sister) walked out on her!

  • nice Video, Yeah i have 2 do 'Falling Leaves' For my assignment.

    I agree the Niang is a B****.

    At the end she doesnt even include adeline in her will.

  • In fact Niang is not even a good looking woman, she's ugly both inside and outside. She spoiled her 'own' kids and treated the others very badly, what a disgusting bitch...she wasn't a human after all

  • @numwan31 yeah, I cant believe her she is definitely bad and did not mind adeline at all

    she treated her as if she's a pet, what a fat head she was, I hope she would burn in hell

    soo bad

  • Really Love the vid. Howcome you didn't mention the part when she got the duck PLT. Her brother killed it

  • I should have!!! i think i didnt put that part about PLT in it because it was a that big in the book!

  • i know. it made me cy sooooooo much. atleast she's happy now

  • no, the dog jackie did.

  • oh i hate the dog.

  • i hate her step mum...she was worse than the dog

  • I totally agree with you!!!

  • Meee too. I can't beleive her!!!!She knew that the dog wasn't going to obey her so why? That hatful woman!. Thank god she is dead.

  • Her brother didn't exactly KILL it. He just picked it up because he hadn't much time to choose.

  • I thought Falling Leaves was first?

  • No it is the second part of her autobiography!

  • nice video!

  • Adeline Yen Mah is an amazing author, I recently have finished Falling leaves, and I've already read Chinese Cinderella. Both amazing books to read!!! And also there both very sad....

  • I know, right!
