The Story of Lindo Jong - The Red Candle
Lindo Jong's Story was my favorite. How her life was sacrificed to keep her parents promise. Her parents promised her to marry Tyan-Hu at the age of two. Her own family treated her as if she belonged to another family.
Her World turned upside down at the age of twelve, Heavy rains came and destroyed every single wheat her family planted, and made their land useless for years to come, and their house became unlivable, furnitures all over the place, covered with mud. Everything was a mess.
Lindo was 12, old enough to separate from her family and live with the Huangs, she realized that the Huangs had a better disposition than her family. She was trained to be a good wife, She was taught how to wash rice properly,how to clean a chamber pot, she learned to cook well, and stitch perfectly.
Lindo turned 16 on the lunar new year, Huang Taitai told her that she's ready to welcome a grandson by spring. Of course she didn't want to marry, but she was left with no other option, where would she live? how would she feed her empty stomach? who would clothe her? even if she's a strong horse, there's no way she can run away. . .
