I wish I know more about her chidhood and younger days

Today I bought a bunch of lychees from the hypermarket,imported from China. My Mother had told me that in her village in China lychees grew freely and they were at liberty to pluck lychees from the trees anytime they wished.

I wonder how her childhood in China was like. I should have asked her more about her childhood and got to know her better. I do know a few things though. She told me she was one of the few girls who had the privilege of going to school for a few years as Chinese families in the olden days only sent their boys to school. Her nephew, Lim Bo Yin told us she was one of the prettiest ladies in her village. He described her as the village belle. It is a pity I know so little about her childhood and younger days.
