In Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, what are three events of the rising action, the central conflict and how was it resolved, and the denouement?...

In Snow Flower and the Secret Fan,
the plot points may be described as
follows:

Rising Action:  Lily
and Snow Flower become laotongs, or special sisters.  They begin to go through their
rites of passage together such as learning to cook and having their feet bound. 
Afterwards, the village is raided and they must run for cover in the mountains.  The
women have a difficult time--their bound feet are not really meant for walking long
distances let alone climbing mountains.  Lily and Snow Flower manage to survive for
months in the mountains.  Upon their return, Lily is married to a well-to-do man while
Snow Flower gains a husband who is not so prosperous.  Here, the women's relationship
begins to suffer.

Central
Conflict:  After being special sisters and bound for life, Lily begins to
pull away from Snow Flower because she thinks that Snow Flower has betrayed her.  Lily
stops communicating with Snow Flower, and when Snow Flower requests that their daughters
become laotongs, Lily refuses the
request.

Resolution:  In the
end, Lily hears that Snow Flower is dying, so she breaks her silence to go to her
friend's side.  Lily promises to be an aunt to Snow Flower's children, and when she
grows old, she tells her story to the children.
