Features: I am grateful to China for giving me so many experiences and reflections. I am grateful to the United States for giving me so many choices and inspiration. I am grateful to my family for giving me strength and pride, making me the person I was yesterday. I am grateful to my husband for giving me love and encouragement, making me the person I am today. I am also grateful to all the good people like you to share my confusion and clarity, suffering and happiness, loss and dreams. This is a story of a family, spanning half a century from the 1940s to the 1990s. I only wanted to record the truth as I saw it, without intending to hurt anyone. Sometimes I may have committed the taboo of "exposing family scandals outside," but I hope you won’t blame me for not being Chinese. My ancestors and I lived through extraordinary eras in history. If you are also a product of the same era and currently unhappy for any reason, have you ever thought about whether it is a problem with your soul? Throughout the writing process, I sometimes laughed uncontrollably, sometimes cried bitterly, sometimes felt overwhelming shame, and sometimes felt indescribable anger.
