Ji-Li's father is taken to the work dungeons and does not return for a long time...... (From the last post)
Ji-Li visits her father in the work dungeons with a sack of her father's clothes and necessities. Six-Fingers (I'm not sure if that name's right...) offers Ji-Li to follow Mao and betray her family from their status and beyond. Ji-Li ponders which side she should choose and returns to her home.-Climax> Ji-Li gets a letter from the government or something and she tries to hide the letter to keep her troubles in disguise. Eventually, the raiders stalk Ji-Li and raids her house again to find the hidden letter (which Ji-Li his in her cats litter box). While raiding the house, Six-Fingers humiliates Ji-Li's mother and grandmother for being wives of black status men. Ji-Li's grandmother is charged to sweep the alleys of the neighborhood and they find the letter. -Falling Action>Six-Finger persuades Ji-Li to join up on Mao's side and says that the chance is her last. Ji-Li, finally discovering courage, she decides to follow her family and go against the government. -Conclusion>In the last chapter, Ji-Li Jiang finishes her story with a decision that the Chinese people at that time were brainwashed with Chairman Mao's despotism. Ji-Li ends the story with her acts of courage and independence.
