Adeline Yen Mah studied in two different English boarding schools, entered the university collage and London Hospital Medical college. After graduation she emigrated to California and worked as a physician for twenty six years. When she turned fifty three, she wrote Falling Leaves and now she has many others, for adults and for children:

Chinese Cinderella, the Children's version of Falling Leaves, Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society, Chinese Cinderella and the Mystery of the Song Dynasty Painting, China: Land of Dragons and Emperors, Watching the Tree and A Thousand Pieces of Gold

Adeline Yen Mah is the famous author of Chinese Cinderella which tells us about how horrible her childhood was and how badly she was treated by her siblings and her parents. Her Niang, her stepmother had two children of herself and loved her 4th brother the most.

After her mother's death two weeks after she was born (she died giving birth to Adeline) , she was reckoned bad luck. She also ment in this tragic and exciting book about her education and how she came top of the class every time.

The only person who loved her, her Aunt Baba, always treasured her report cards in her treasure box where all her jewelry went which proved how much she loved her.

If you want to know all her family names read either Chinese Cinderella or Falling Leaves. These books tell you pretty much all about her life. Here is the family tree:

The first Generation:

- Eldest Brother (Successful business - manufacturing spare metal parts for rickshaws, pedicabs, bicycles and some of the more modern household appliances; died young of syphilis; addicted to opium, gambling and brothels)

- Second Brother (thriving import-export tea business; became infected with venereal disease and was unable to father children)

- Sister (arranged marriage; died of TB)

- Grandfather Ye Ye (born 1878; 8 years older; softspoken and gentle, devout Buddhist, tall and slender; proved to be far more able than either of his brothers)

- Grand Aunt (born 1886)

Ye Ye marries Grandmother in 1904 (quick-witted and strong-willed chain smoker with bound feet, short hair and a razor-sharp tongue)

The second Generation

- Aunt Baba (born in 1905)

- Joseph Yen (born in 1907)

The third Generation (Joseph and Ren)

- Jun-pei (Lydia)

- Zi-jie (Gregory)

- Zi-lin (Edgar)

- Zi-jun (James)

- Jun-ling (Adeline) - born 30th November 1937)

The third Generation (Joseph and Jeanne)

- Franklin (1939)

- Susan (November 1941)
