Question

【题目】

Do you want to have a doll that can talk with you? In the book The Ventriloquist’s Daughter, a girl named Liur gets a doll like this. But it doesn’t always make her happy.

Lin Man-Chiu, a writer from Taiwan, wrote the book. The book tells a loving story about Liur and her father.

Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola. This doll is quite special — it can speak like a person! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.

After reading this book, I thought Liur and her father were unlucky. In fact, this story is about the writer’s own unhappy childhood. She had six sisters. But her grandfather wanted a grandson. Life was hard for her father, so he didn’t live with her and her sisters for a very long time. The writer didn’t like her father when she was young. But now she forgives him, because she understands her father had a hard life at that time.

After I learned this, I knew — everyone has demons (心魔) in their hearts, but we should do our best to defeat (击败) them.
