Falling leaves

In the most recent part of the book i read many interesting things happened. Adeline was sent away to a boarding school in Tanjin because her parents did not want her, also they ordered the nuns to make sure that Adeline was to have no visitors, mail, or packages of any sort given to her even if people go to visit or something is sent. Adeline went through her whole stay at boarding school never getting anything, of course she did not know her parents had requested she didn't so she felt unwanted. Since the communist invasion of china was going on at this time many people fled to other places like Hong Kong, eventually Adeline was the only one left in the school. Finally when it got to a point that Niang's(Adeline's stepmother) sister decided to leave, the sister went and took Adeline out of boarding school and brought her along with her and her family to Hong Kong to join the rest of the family. I think its really sad that Adeline was left in such a weird situation and nobody was even aloud to visit her.
