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 a1cut out of a photo of a little girl. But it was2that my mother did not want to talk about it.
3I looked at the album I saw that cut - out face and4about it. I figured there was something5. When I was grown up and had almost6about the photo, my mother must have realized I should know her7. She sat me down one day and said, “That cat - up photo is8your Aunt Anna. She has schizophrenia(精神分裂症).”
But why did my mother never9this before? I still didn’t understand. “Because people are… were…10of having mental illness in the family” was the11. But I wanted to meet Aunt Anna, and I12.
My mother and I traveled to the house13Anna lived with an Italian family. Anna looked like a question mark on legs,14she had lovely, clear eyes and a gentle manner. I could see the15to 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 run16and hide in the trunk of my car. The family that17her said that she always wanted to18.
The last time I saw Anna she was placed in a smaller old - age facility in Brooklyn.
19Aunt Anna, I’m not the least bit ashamed of you. I’m20about 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.
