Climax-a decisive moment that is of maximum intensity or is a major turning point in a plot.
In Chinese Cinderella the turning point is when Niang and Father decide that Adeline needs to be separated from the family because she is “no use”, so she is sent to a boarding school in Hong Kong. Adeline is separated by her beloved Aunt Baba and her Ye Ye. Adeline is sent to where the communists are taking over and putting people in jail. She is sent to a catholic boarding school were you are supposed to speak English or French which she speaks very brokenly. Adeline is soon the only student left in the boarding school, because everyone else’s parents have come to rescue them. While there she is never visited or receives any letters or treats.
