The content is taken from the Chinese Yuan Dynasty drama "The Story of the Gray Lantern", written by Li Qianfu, and its full name is "The Story of the Gray Lantern" by Bao Dai Zhi Zhi Kan. The governor of Georgia was killed in a riot, and the governor's wife abandoned her biological son, Michael, when she fled in panic; the kind-hearted maid risked her life and went through hardships to raise him; after the rebellion subsided, the governor's wife asked for the child in order to inherit the inheritance. Judge Azdak used gray (chalk) to decide the case: The greedy and crippled governor's wife tried hard to pull the child out regardless of life and death, but the maid could not bear to have the child injured... The ending of the story is that the child was not awarded to his biological mother, but to the adoptive mother and maid.
Reader comments
The story in this book is very interesting and reminds me of the selfish people in life. Just like the governor's wife in the book, she doesn't care about the life and death of her children for the sake of inheritance. It's really annoying! Fortunately, there is a kind maid, whose love and courage are touching. This book also made me believe that good will triumph over evil in the end. I think this book is very suitable for people like me who are looking for true love. It will make us cherish the people around us more and have the courage to pursue our own happiness.
