Sharing the sweetness

On the 25th of December, my mother expects her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. When she pulls on that holiday sweater, everybody better gets festive. Of course, I would be the first Jones sibling     1     (go) rogue (叛逆). As the middle, artist child, I was going to do my own thing, making some new traditions. From a biography of Flannery O’Connor, I drew inspiration— I would spend the holiday at an artist colony!

No one took my new idea seriously. From the way my mother carried on, you would think I was divorcing the family. Still I held my ground and made plans for my winter adventure in New Hampshire. The MacoDowell Colony was       2     I could have wished for. About 25 to 30 artists were in attendance, and it was as artsy (艺术的) as I     3     (imagine). It felt like my life had become a strange independent film.

By Christmas Eve, I had been at the colony for more than a week. The novelty of snowy New England was wearing off, but I would never admit     4    . Everyone around me was having too much fun. Skiing! Deep conversation by the fireplace! What was wrong with me? This was the holiday       5     I’d always dreamed of. No artificial decoration. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas,” they said “holiday.” Then why was I so sad?

Finally, I called home on the pay phone. My dad answered, but I     6     barely hear him for all the good-time noise in the background. He turned down the volume on the holiday album and told me that my mother was out shopping with my brothers. Now it was my turn to sulk (生闷气). They were having a fine Christmas       7     me.

Despite a heavy snowstorm, a large package showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas morning. Tayari Jones was written in my mother’s beautiful handwriting. I rushed to that parcel     8     I were five years old. Inside was a gorgeous red-velvet cake, my favorite,     9     (wrap) tightly in about 50 yards of bubble packaging. “Merry Christmas,” read the simple card inside. “We love you very much.”

As I sliced the cake, everyone gathered around. Mother had sent a genuine homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our bare hands,     10    (satisfy) a hunger we didn’t know we had.

In September 2007, Stanley Ho in Macao purchased the horse-head statue at a price of HK $69. 1 million ($8.9 million). It     3     (donate) back to the country in November 2019.

On Dec 1, 2020, the horse-head bronze statue returned to its original home,     4     (make) it the first animal-head statue to have come back to Yuanmingyuan. There is good news     5     the statue will be regularly displayed in the Zhengjue Temple area in Yuanmingyuan.

“The horse’s head holds the     6       (memorize) of history and our nation’s shared emotion,” Pansy Ho Chiuking, Stanley Ho’s daughter, said at the handover ceremony. The return of the statue sets an example     7     the international community to bring more lost relics back to their     8     (origin).

So far seven of the 12 statues including the horse     9     (come) back to China, and now the rest six are housed in the National Museum of China and Poly Art Museum. The search is     10     for the remaining five: a dog, a rooster, a dragon, a sheep and a snake.
