核心要点
Two Worlds Collide on a Nigerian Beach
"I wish I was a British pound coin instead of an African girl." With these words, Little Bee introduces herself-a refugee who spent two years in an immigration detention center in England, learning the Queen's English to survive. A coin can go anywhere, welcomed in every pocket, while she is stopped at every border. Unlike most refugees who are seen but not heard, Little Bee has a voice-one that speaks with clarity, humor, and devastating insight about the collision between privileged Western lives and those fleeing unimaginable horror. The moment that connected these worlds happened on a Nigerian beach. Sarah and Andrew O'Rourke, a British couple trying to save their marriage, encountered Little Bee and her sister fleeing men who had destroyed their village. When the killers caught up, demanding the girls, their leader presented a horrific choice: someone must sacrifice a finger to save Little Bee's life. When Andrew hesitated, Sarah chopped off her own middle finger "like a girl topping a carrot." The sacrifice saved Little Bee but couldn't save her sister, who was brutally murdered while Little Bee hid beneath an abandoned boat. Before escaping, Little Bee found Andrew's wallet containing Sarah's address-a lifeline to potential safety in England.
