Period 5 - Lian......Chinese tale

Lian - Chen Jiang Hong

 

 

Mr. Lo is a solitary fisherman. His junk is his home. It is sad, this year the fish is rare. One day, to thank him for having made him cross the river, an old woman offers him some lotus seeds. These seeds are special, they come from the mouth of a dragon. Mr. Lo plants them, and suddenly a field of lotuses grows overnight. A melody rises slowly. One of the flowers illuminates the darkness. Between the petals of this flower appears a little girl. It's Lean. Lian is also special. She has a precious gift. She can change things with a gesture, change people's lives. Because of this gift, she is in danger...
