　　At the first show of The Fault in Our Stars in New York City,the scene I found most difficult to watch was when 16-year-old Hazel,who had Stage 4 thyroid(甲状腺) cancer,woke up in the middle of the night out of breath.

　　It brought me back to one night in 2008,when I watched my father carry my sister Esther from her bedroom to an ambulance.She was 14 at the time,struggling with thyroid cancer that had spread to her lungs.We held hands and cried as we watched her lying there,so fragile.We didn’t think she’d make it through the night.Yet,like Hazel,she regained her strength.She lived for two more beautiful and hard years—until just after her 16th birthday,in August 2010.

　　Author John Green showed respect for Esther at the beginning of his book.“I could never have written The Fault in Our Stars without knowing Esther.Every word in that book depends on her,”Green wrote.

　　I’m not sure what Esther would have thought of it.But watching the movie,I couldn’t help feeling I was seeing my little sister on the screen.After a doctor offers a new machine,Hazel interrupts,“Why?I like the old machine.”My sister could be similarly playful.“This oxygen machine is cool,and I like it.I name it Denmark,”she said in one video.

　　However,Hazel is not supposed to be Esther.The Fault in Our Stars is a love story between two teenagers.My sister never got to have a relationship like that.Witnessing a life and a romance(浪漫故事) she could have had made me feel unbearably sad and yet,strangely,uplifted.It’s as if,through Hazel,my sister is able to continue having new experiences.As if she got a sequel(续集).
