Ji-li Jiang is so flexible. She has so much energy. There seem to be something wrong with the family because her dad won't let her try out for the Liberation army. she always so polite. The student had no right to destroy the mans clothes just because it was one of the four old. Ji-li Jiang should have said something instead of just sitting there and watching.
Why did her dad want her to try out? Why did the people want to get rid of four old? How come the people choose JI-li Jiang to try out? Why did she just sit there and let those kids tourment that man?

" she was slim and stood straight as a reed her eyes sparkled ans her long braids, tied with red ribbons, swung at her waist"
Ji-li Jiang must have really wanted to try out. But her father said no why? Her friends are even wondering why. Things are changing in China. There are new rule and looks. You cant be caught in the four olds anymore.
