A Christian fellow I hadn't seen in a while unexpectedly asked me about another believer named Sally, with whom I haven't spoken in a long time, only knowing that she is currently working in Shanghai.
Sally is a mixed-race girl whose ancestors moved to Southeast Asia in their youth and settled there. Sally's parents are both mixed-race Chinese and locals.
However, misfortune caught the family in Sally’s childhood when all their property was destroyed. Fortunately, her family survived unharmed. The family decided to return to China for safety reasons, eventually settling in a southeastern city under the care of the motherland.
But not long after, her father developed a terminal illness due to his busy and distressed life and died soon after, leaving the wife and daughter to rely on each other. Sally’s mother could only support the family by working part-time, all of which clouded Sally's childhood.
A few years later, Sally reached puberty when she was ostracized and bullied in school due to her family issues, her mixed-race appearance, and her height of 1.45m. To avoid being bullied, she joined a group of wayward girls and became a troubled girl.
But luckily, her mother met a Christian woman at church who kept preaching to her. After all the ups and downs, Sally’s mother soon accepted the Lord, becoming a faithful believer.
Sally also accepted Christianity under her mother's influence and stopped hanging with those troubled girls. Her churchmates empathized with her misery and frequently showed her love and care. Since then, she has always smiled with a joyful heart. Knowing Sally's family's struggles, a church elder decided to pay for part of her tuition each year until she graduated from college.
After graduating from college, Sally returned to the church, serving as an important member of the youth fellowship. She became active and enthusiastic after following the Lord and often led worship and praise. Believers all admired her exotic dance.
Sally got a decent job through the church's arrangement, allowing her to take good care of her mother. She was conscientious at work, receiving appreciation from her boss and colleagues. Within a few years, she was promoted to department head in the company.
According to the elder, who once helped Sally, she is currently doing well. She also found love a few years ago and is currently raising three children. The elder always testified that it was the gospel that saved Sally.

一久未蒙面的肢体忽然向我问起了一位叫莎莉的姐妹，而我与她也有很长时间没联系了，只知道她目前在上海工作。
莎莉是混血女孩，她的祖上早年闯荡南洋，在当地扎根。而莎莉的父母都是华人与当地人的混血儿。
然而莎莉童年却遭遇了不幸，其家产全被捣毁，幸好全家生命得到保全。于是一家人出于安全考虑，只好回到祖国。他们最终在国家的照顾下在东南某城市安顿下来。
可不久后，她父亲因为奔波与压抑的生活，患上了绝症，不久后就撒手人寰，留下她们母女相依为命。而母亲也只能靠打零工养家，这一切让莎莉的童年变得阴暗。
几年过去后，莎莉进入了青春期，因为家庭的问题，加上她的混血长相以及1.45的身高，她在校园里遭到排斥和霸凌。她为了避免被人欺负，加入了小太妹群体，成为一名失足女孩。
但幸运的是，她的母亲认识了一位教会的姐妹。对方一直向她传福音，经历了种种变故的母亲很快接受了信仰，成为虔诚的信徒。
而莎莉也在母亲的影响下接受了福音，从此就不再与那些小太妹鬼混了。教会朋友都同情莎莉的遭遇，经常给予其关爱。从此之后她的脸上常挂着笑容，内心充满了喜乐。教会一位长老，看到莎莉家庭的困难，就每年负担莎莉的部分学费，直到她大学毕业。
大学毕业后，莎莉回到了教会事奉，是青年团契的重要同工。她信主后变得活泼开朗，经常带领敬拜赞美。而她充满异域风情的舞蹈，更是得到了弟兄姐妹的欢迎。
在教会的安排下，莎莉得到了一份不错的工作，让母亲安享晚年。而她在工作中更是兢兢业业，得到了老板与同事的肯定，没过几年成为公司的部门主管。
据帮助过莎莉的长老说，目前莎莉发展得不错，几年前也收获了爱情，目前养育着三个孩子。长老总是见证莎莉，认为是福音改变了这个女孩。
