Eleven-year-old Jia Yu pondered upon her life at the orphanage. It has been all she has known, having been left by her mother at the orphanage when she was a baby. As Jia Yu's finger followed the beveled lines of the jade dragon on the necklace with her finger, she again tries to squeeze out of her brain an image of her mother. It is this jade dragon necklace that helps her hold on to this memory of a mother that she has never known. Now as strangers from a far off land come visit the orphanage, Jia Yu wonders if she can let go of her past to begin a new tomorrow.
