Description
One spring, a 5-year-old girl named Ting arrived from China to join her mother, Chunlan, a doctoral student at a university in the north-eastern United States. Ting was so happy to be with her mother, and was particularly excited that she would now be able to go to school. Not all of the children could go to school in the village where she grew up. After Ting received her inoculations, her mother registered her for school. With an enthusiasm almost equal to her mother's, Ting set off for school, carrying her new backpack as she confidently climbed onto the school bus. Although she could not speak any English, Ting wasn't worried; her mother was told an interpreter would be available at school. Chunlan was happy her daughter would finally receive the Western education that many Chinese dream of obtaining. Ting really liked to go to school; it was fun to play games, even though she could not communicate. However, each day on the bus ride home, other children would throw shoes at her, spit on her, pull her hair, or call her "stupid." Ting did not even understand what they were saying until she repeated the word "stupid" to her mother. Ting was the victim of bullying.
