What does the narrator mean when she says we didn’t immediately pick the right prodigy. at first my mother thought i could be a chinese shirley temple?

According to Jing Mei's mother, Jing Mei is not the best child prodigy type girl in the world because Jing Mei doesn't work hard enough at it. The mother does not believe too much in natural talent and ability. She believes that through enough hard work a person can become anyone and do anything. If my answer seems to be not that helpful, I can suggest you checking the popular site among students which is Primewritings. I am sure you can get the immediate help there.
