The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, 2013, by Rachel Joyce

The novel tells a story of a 60-year-old man who lived a boring and unhappy life, until one day, he received his old friend's letter who got cancer. In great shock and sadness, he went out to send his reply letter. 627 miles in 87 days, he walked depending on one belief that "his friend can survive as long as he walks".

I had a very peaceful childhood and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different. She got "Asperger Syndrome" (社交困难症). It turned my parents' world upside down - but they never let it affect me. My parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant and quiet for me.

It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and became aware of my social life and self-image that I had carefully built up. My sister on the other hand, was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would whisper to herself and repeat the words she had just said. However, she was academically capable, so we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never admitted in public that she was my sister.

However, there was one incident that changed how I viewed my sister and changed me.

Being in primary six, about to graduate, my sister and her classmates had to put on a performance, whether in a group, or on their own. Because she failed to join others, she was the only one left without a group. The school had made it a must for everyone to perform, so my sister had to do it by herself. "I'll sing," my sister told my parents, somewhat confidently.

Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school? I knew so very well that if I allowed this to happen, she would embarrass me. "No!" I protested. My parents shot me a look and I knew my sister was going to perform anyway, and I was going to be part of the audience watching her. Silently, I wished that something would happen and I would not have to watch my sister lose face.
