Features: The survival or demise of humanity is astonishingly attributed by some to neither natural disasters nor nuclear war, but to the inescapable evil of drugs. Drug addiction is like opening Pandora's Box—it starts by harming the body and then extends to devastating society, bringing catastrophic consequences to human society. For this Pandora's Box of drugs, humanity has lost the ability to close it, but at least we can stop opening it time and time again. While the demons it unleashes continue to rage in the world, the "hope" it contains will not perish. This book, The Woman of Drugs, is a faint flame, hoping that its radiation can illuminate some dark emotions and souls. It is not a book for morbid curiosity; it tells the "psychological histories" of 86 women who use drugs. It will not leave you intoxicated, because these 86 stories are filled with tears, and the complex emotions of each drug-using woman leave us deeply moved. Here, we hope that every reader will approach and pay attention to them with a gentle heart, just as we have.
