About This Novel
That afternoon, school ended early. I got home and there was no one at home. My mother is not at home, and my sister is not at home either. The door was open, but there was no one at home. There was no one in the hall, no one in the kitchen, no one in the room. I shouted loudly: "Mom, Mom!" No one answered me. There was no one at home, so I looked up at the portrait of Chairman Mao on the front wall. Chairman Mao looked at me very seriously. I felt scared in my heart. It was so quiet at home, so quiet that I was a little scared of people. I rushed out of the house and almost fell down at the gate. I ran to the vegetable garden, but I didn't find my mother there. My sister is not here either. My sister is still young, and she is always with her mother. Mom takes her sister with her wherever she goes. I rushed home from the vegetable garden again.
