A Story
I am easily moved to tears. When I watch a documentary or video drama or animation, I am moved immediately. I cannot help thinking that if I was he or she and if I had that accident. I think that I am very weak, human beings are very weak, and then I must cherish my family, friends and people around me.
When I was a high school student, I read an English story that was part of the “center examination,” ie the nationally administered university entrance exam. It was a story about a grandmother’s quilt. Have you ever read this story? Maybe you have.
The story is easy to summarize. A family went bankrupt and they lost their house, a lot of furniture… And at an auction the daughter tries to buy back the grandmother’s quilt that has a lot of memories.
I can’t write more. Please read this story! When I read this story in class, my eyes were watery :-)

I’ve run a search or two; here’s a copy of the story. The whole exam is over here.
A search for the sentence Your sadness at losing the bid was so apparent that It broke my heart, which appears in the story, only seems to return results connected to that particular exam, so it looks like the story was especially written for the purpose…
