What was Pollys life in China like before she came to America?
After she came to America, Polly said very little about her life in China. We don’t know if she had any brothers and sisters, or any pets. According to Chinese custom, her feet were once bound. That meant that she could not work in the fields, so her family probably lived a comfortable life at first. Later, they became poor and her parents sold her because they had no food.
