This is the first one of the three illustrations about my childhood trauma.
I was born and raised in China, later came to the US when I was 12. Since when I was a six-year-old, I joined the first grade class taught by this teacher, Mrs. Gao. I stayed in her class for six years until I graduate from elementary school and came to the United States.
For six year I was both mentally and physically abused by Mrs. Gao, and caused me serious depression, anxiety, and PTSD, which still deeply hurts me today.
