Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (paragraph 10)

I couldnt believe that the little seamstress got pregnant. It was very sad that she would never be able to have the child and be with Luo because of government regulations. It was also very brave of the narrator to accept his resposiblity and do everything that he possibly could to help the seamstress. At the hospital, it seemed as though the narrator was never going to be able to speak to the doctor because of the long lines of patients. The narrator hopes that the gynecologist knew his father because he wants to be able to use such a relationship to his advantage. If the gynecologist knew the narrator's father, then maybe the doctor will have some respect and willingness to help the narrator with his dilemma. It seemed strange that the narrator would think to ask an old preacher where the best place to get an abortion was. I dont know if he thought that the preacher would not judge him or the seamstress and be understanding or what. Either way his idea to go and visit the preacher paid off in the end because if he hadn't gone to see the preacher he would never have had the opportunity to speak with the doctor. By trading Balzac for help for the seamstress, the narrator successfully arranges an abortion. I guess that the desire for a banned piece of literature was great, especially to those who may miss the old culture they could be free to experience before the cultural revolution.
