One
When she woke up, she became a wandering princess.
This is not a plot that only exists in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", but a real story.
In 2004, Sarah, who was studying for graduate school in Los Angeles, received a call that changed her life.
The man on the phone excitedly said that he was Sarah's blood-linked uncle and the chief of the African continent, ruling 70,000 people.
Not only that, but the uncle also introduced Sarah that her great-grandfather was the largest chieftain in Africa, which also meant that Sarah had a state-recognized princess status and legal inheritance rights to the tribe.
This kind of story makes Sarah very excited, first, because she has finally found her long-lost family, and second, because the princess who fell from the sky makes her feel uneasy.
Sarah is a mixed-race black and white child, because her parents gave birth to her when she was young, knowing that she was unable to take care of a milk doll, so the young couple left the child at the door of the welfare home and smeared oil on the soles of their feet.
Fortunately, there was a kind white couple who adopted Sarah, who had been abandoned in her infancy.
His adoptive father, Jim, was a professor of medicine.
Her adoptive mother, Judy, is very caring and works as a special education lecturer at an elementary school.
In fact, before adopting Sarah, the couple already had two daughters, but they liked children and decided to let her become a part of the family after seeing poor Sarah.
Although neither her adoptive parents nor her two older sisters regardEdara as an outsider, her disparate complexion still makes her seem a little out of place.
Growing up, Sarah was asked the most questioned questions: How is your skin color different from your family's?
In this regard, the sister who is bent on defending her sister only said that they are just different races, but they are the closest family members anyway.
With such a warm and harmonious family atmosphere, even if Sarah knows that she is not her parents' biological child, she does not care about self-pity, but obediently grows up and lives up to the hard heart of her adoptive parents.
In addition to this, she did not forget to look for her own biological parents.
Two
Sarah, who was an abandoned baby before the age of 1, discovered herself as a princess at the age of 28.
The scene took place in Los Angeles in 2004, when Sarah, who was in graduate school, had been searching for her birth parents.
Sarah did this not because she was obsessed with recognizing her ancestors, but because she wanted to ask her parents why she had abandoned her.
However, due to the gap of many years, Sarah's family search trip did not go well, and when she later got the news of her biological mother, she learned that her mother had died of cancer a long time ago.
In the face of this seemingly incomprehensible soul torture, Sarah, who has been entangled for half her life, suddenly retreats, because she is afraid that her father is as absent as her mother, and she cannot accept such an outcome.
However, after the enlightenment and encouragement of her adoptive parents, Sarah decided to resume her family search plan, even at the expense of hiring a private detective.
Fortunately, the kung fu paid off, and Sarah, who tried her best, finally contacted her uncle who was far away in Africa.
This made Sarah very excited, first, because the puzzle that had been hidden in her heart for more than twenty years finally had an answer.
The second is that she accidentally learned that she was a princess of Sierra Leone.
After his uncle contacted Sarah, he received a call from his father not long after.
Unlike Sarah's imagination, the father did not show the intention of resisting her, but instead was full of regret and said that it was a helpless move to abandon his daughter.
Because he was just an idle prince sent by the family to study abroad, Sarah's mother was also a girl from a poor family, and they couldn't even pay for the abortion, let alone the maintenance of a child.
Listening to Bi's father's words, the soft-hearted Sara is also very entangled, she wants to forgive her "excusable" father on the one hand, but on the other hand, she can't let go of the loss of being abandoned.
But as Sarah travels to Sierra Leone to visit her blood relatives, all this entanglement disappears.
Three
In 2004, Sarah, who accidentally discovered that she was a princess, went to her home country for the first time.
When she met her father at the airport, whom she had never met, Sarah experienced for the first time what it was like to have blood thicker than water.
As a descendant of a former tribal chief and the niece of the current chief, going to the tribe to report is something Sarah must do on this trip.
But before that, her princely father also sent a set of traditional costumes in order to make the villagers accept the new member as soon as possible.
But when Sarah arrived at the tribe, she felt the enthusiasm of the tribesmen in addition to seeing everyone wearing suits of the same color as her own.
They surrounded Sarah and sang traditional songs to celebrate the princess's final return.
It's just that Sarah is not immersed in everyone's enthusiasm, but is worried about the living conditions of the locals.
Sierra Leone is one of the least developed countries in the world and has been a source of slavery in Europe for more than a hundred years.
Later, even as the world entered an era of peace, they did not restore tranquility, but fell into endless turmoil.
The people of the whole country are not happy, the per capita monthly income is less than 43 US dollars, and they can only live a life of poverty that is unbearable for ordinary people.
Not only that, but the country's rebels have also invaded Sarah's father's tribe, and many villagers have been brutally cut off their limbs, even children have not been spared.
Looking at the miserable tribal people, Sarah knew that there were still people in this world who lived so hard.
She finally decided that she wanted to save the people from water and fire.
Upon returning home in the United States, Sarah immediately called on her adoptive parents to start a foundation dedicated to promoting education and improving the lives of her people.
To this day, Sarah has rebuilt the local school so that children can return to school.
In collaboration with non-profit organizations, a well was dug to provide clean water to 12,000 local people.
In addition, Sarah sent reusable physiological items to the girls.
In this regard, Sarah only said that as a princess recognized by everyone, she must take on the responsibility of a princess, and this is also her way of giving back to the society.
Although Sarah's strength is small, after years of hard work, the villagers' lives are indeed developing for the better.
And in the future, she will continue to work hard.
