Features: I first read this book when I was ten years old. This year, I reread it to the children around me, and they immediately fell in love with it and asked for copies one after another. I highly recommend this book to everyone because it greatly inspired me. The days of struggling on a rugged path are unforgettable in one's life. A little girl helped establish the Union Gospel Press. This is a true story. Two hundred years ago in a Welsh village, little Mary Jones, starting at the age of ten, saved enough money to buy a Bible over six years by keeping bees, raising chickens, taking care of other people's children, sewing clothes, gathering firewood, and cleaning the kitchen. Her story later moved more people and led to the founding of the Union Gospel Press. From Mary Jones, we can see that it is belief and dreams that change lives. Mary Jones' story of learning to take responsibility from life's hardships and to be self-reliant and enterprising from scarcity can also inspire today's Chinese children.
