MeiMei was six years old when her mother taught her the art of invisible strengths. Her family lived in San Francisco’s Chinatown, she play with the other Chinese children who played in the back alleys of restaurants and curio, she didn’t think she was poor, because she gets three five-courses a day. Her mother named her after the streets that they lived on; Waverly Place Jong, but her family call her MeiMei meaning little sister. MeiMei did not know how to play chess, but she liked playing, she went on the Chinatown Library and studied all the chess rules and pieces. When MeiMei were playing on the park, a man suggested that her mother should let her play on the local chess tournament. MeiMei joined and won all the games in all the division, each time she win, the tournament gets farther and farther from home, by her 9th birthday, she was on the national chess champion and she was 429 points away from being a grand-master status. When MeiMei got on the national chess champion and her mother started to treat her more special, her mother told her brother to start doing her chores and making her brothers sleep downstairs. One day after they left the shop, MeiMei said to her mother that she should not have to tell everybody that she was her daughter. Her mother got mad and they had an argument, MeiMei fled down in an alley, she ducked into another dark alley that contained no escape routes. Vincent came and let her know that she should go home and that she is in big trouble. That night MeiMei got home and went on her bed, imagined a chessboard on her head with the pieces, then it was her move.
