I have forgotten which part of China it was and also how I was born. Well, I think everybody can hardly remember what happened during their birth. I don&#8217;t know what colour I am. Some said I am pink, and some said I am purple. I have no idea when\u00a0my birthday is, as no one has ever told me.<\/p>\n<p>I was packed and brought to a stationery shop just after my birth. I was then brought by a girl at age of thirteen to sixteen. It made me feel so excited as it was my first time to leave the boring shop.<\/p>\n<p>She brought me to a green and white building. Three words, &#8220;Carmel Secondary School&#8221;, were written on it. She took me into a room named &#8216;315&#8217;. There were just few people inside. I was so scared as not many people were inside. What would they do to me?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Rizy, I&#8217;ve asked you to buy more,&#8217; said a boy. &#8216;This is the only one left, sorry,&#8217; said Rizy. &#8216;Well, Jinsu, we can use it first and buy more tomorrow,&#8217; said another girl. &#8216;Okay, we shall start now,&#8217; said a boy who just came in (he really scared me somehow).<\/p>\n<p>Then they started. I&#8217;ll never forget what they did. It was too cruel to me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Fold this pink paper into a butterfly,&#8217; said Jinsu.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay , let me cut it first,&#8221; said Rizy.<\/p>\n<p>What? They said that they&#8217;ll cut me! Without giving me time to think, she took something like a bowknot out&#8230; Yes, I remember it. People called it &#8220;a pair of sea shores&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ah!&#8221; I shouted, &#8220;What&#8217;re you doing!&#8221; But Rizy could not listen to what I said and\u00a0continued to tear my body.<\/p>\n<p>Rizy&#8217;s hands were really fast. After cutting me, she went on torturing me. She bent my legs to my head! How could a human be that brutal!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ahh!&#8221; I yelled, &#8220;My waist&#8230;&#8221; Even if I were an professional gymnast, I would get injured. But what&#8217;s the situation now? I am not! In that tiny package, there was no space for me to do stretching.<\/p>\n<p>That was not the end. Rizy took an object and used it to push me onto a surface which was full of my friends. I remembered that thing, it was&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Arghhh!&#8221; I screamed. I was in\u00a0great pain. Then, I noticed that I couldn&#8217;t move. Poor me!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Have you heard an odd sound?&#8221; said a girl (I was in great pain and could not find out who\u00a0she was).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No,&#8221; said the boy who scared me (I would never forget his voice), &#8220;It must be your auditory hallucinations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After that, I fainted. When I woke up, some friends told me that it was already\u00a0five days later. I saw a girl whom I hadn&#8217;t seen before. She went there with her mum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mum, see these paper butterflies. They represent our dreams,&#8221;said the girl, &#8220;I hope that my dream can come true. I want to become a doctor and I am working hard on it. I have read a lot of books about medicine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Doctor! Doctor!&#8221; I screamed, &#8220;Help me! Can I still be saved? Help me!&#8221; But she went away.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe this is my life. I am still staying in that room. Save me if you read this. Set me free&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I am a piece of coloured paper which was made in a factory in China.
