Features: "If the entire society calls her 'Mr.', if the whole era declares her 'a man among women,' that would be the greatest honor for a woman. Even if her breadth of mind and courage were unmatched at the time. Is that so? Can it only be so? Why don't we create some characters, some true terms of respect, to present to this recently departed elder—a soul wandering in cultural, yet who mended every wound with the light and passion of her entire life." Lin Haiyin, what kind of woman was she, to earn such high praise? This book tells you the brilliant life of Yingzi from A City of Skies. It is a character biography-style book that highlights historical photographs and visual materials. Against the backdrop of Lin Haiyin's life, it selects the most vivid fragments of her life that best reveal her character and fate. The text is concise, the images are rich, with scenes of daily life, portraits, pages of manuscripts, and her own narratives, as well as comments from others, lively captions for the images—all offering a richer, more special, and more engaging experience than typical textual descriptions, sparking readers' interest and inspiring their imagination. Readers can gain a multi-layered, multi-faceted understanding of Lin Haiyin's life.
