The Girl with the Cut - out Face
When I was a child, I often looked through a family album. I remember asking my mother why there was a 36 cut out of a photo of a little girl. But it was 37 that my mother did not want to talk about it.
38 I looked at the album I saw that cut - out face and 39 about it. I figured there was something 40 . When I was grown up and had almost 41 about the photo, my mother must have realized I should know her 42 . She sat me down one day and said, “That cat - up photo is 43 your Aunt Anna. She has schizophrenia（精神分裂症）.”
But why did my mother never 44 this before? I still didn’t understand. “Because people are… were… 45 of having mental illness in the family” was the 46 . But I wanted to meet Aunt Anna, and I 47 .
My mother and I traveled to the house 48 Anna lived with an Italian family. Anna looked like a question mark on legs, 49 she had lovely, clear eyes and a gentle manner. I could see the 50 to my mother. “So nice to meet you,” she said to me. “Do you have a trunk （象鼻；行李箱）？”
Did she think that I was an elephant? No, she wanted to run 51 and hide in the trunk of my car. The family that 52 her said that she always wanted to 53 .
The last time I saw Anna she was placed in a smaller old - age facility in Brooklyn.
54 Aunt Anna, I’m not the least bit ashamed of you. I’m 55 about you now for many to see, with your sweet young face showing under a pretty bow.
And you finally found that escape you were seeking.
