This is a bell pepper plush toy that I bought with my aunt 7 years ago, at a shop next to the subway in Guangzhou, China. My aunt gave it to me as my 9 year old birthday gift. I really like it. Not only I went to different places to travel, but also in the process of my growth the plush always accompanied me.  It has witnessed my growth, from a child to a teenager. From immigrating from China to life in the United States. It always gives me a sense of security. I think it is very cute. I often hug it to sleep and take it with me to play. It always reminds me of my aunt and the time when I played with my cousin. Because I lived in the school during my middle school in China and my friends have seen the bell pepper plush. So that it usually reminds me of playing with my good friends and the school life and study time.Now that I came to America, the bell pepper plush also accompanies me.
