Mrs. Ruth Li, a Chinese woman living in Singapore, named her baby girl Patsy Li. This name means in Chinese" white plum blossom. "When Pasty Li was six years old, the Japanese attacked Singapore. Mrs. IA and Patsy Li escaped on a ship which was sunk. Mrs. Li placed Patsy Li on a bit of floating wreckage. Later Mrs. Li was rescued, but her daughter could not be found.
    Many months after, four thousand miles away on the Guadal Canal, a group of American soldiers on the sea found the little Chinese girl. No one could tell how she had got there. She refused to talk or give her name. The priest in the army who spoke Chinese, named her Patsy Lee because he thought she looked like a white plum blossom.
    When The New York Times told about the finding of" Patsy Lee," could Pasty Lee be the lost child Patsy Li? The mother made the long voyage to find out. The little "white plum blossom" was indeed her own Patsy Li.
