Then, follow "White Mase" into the mysterious African tribe! This is the autobiography of Swiss writer Corinna Hoffman. Corinna Hoffman and her fiancé, Maeko, went on vacation to Kenya, Africa, where they met the young Maasai man Lektinga and fell in love at first sight. After returning to Switzerland, Corinna, despite the persuasion and opposition of her family and friends, sold her small store in Switzerland and all her assets, and returned to Kenya alone to marry Lektinga. From then on, she began her four years of happy yet arduous life in Africa. She lived in a grass hut in the ignorant and backward Maasai tribe, leading a very simple life. Whether in terms of diet or hygiene conditions, it was incomparable to her homeland, but these difficulties could not defeat her because she deeply loved her husband. However, due to the huge cultural differences between Africa and Europe, there were numerous conflicts in their married life. Corinna tried her best but failed to save this extraordinary marriage. She felt tired and decided to return to Switzerland, doing everything she could to take her daughter away from the man she loved and hated, and from Kenya. This book presents a fresh perspective on the African wilderness and the life of its indigenous tribes, especially the author's portrayal of this period of her life, which is realistic and touching. It tells us: no matter what environment you are in, never give up on your pursuit of life and life.
