Features: This book is not a fictional novel but a biographical account, a documentary story. The structure of the book immediately reveals a grand style, composed of six chapters: "The Turbulent World of New York's Shopping Mall," "Childhood," "A Girl's First Love," "A Small Cabin in the Great Northern Wilderness," "Studying in the United States," and "A Chinese Woman in Manhattan." Each chapter stands on its own. From the titles of these chapters, one can broadly summarize the rich and varied life experiences of the author, Zhou Li. The entire book spans 400,000 words, reading it feels like she is having a heartfelt conversation with you. Her grand portrayal of a new era and new opportunities, as well as her confessions about her dramatic life journey and life values, leave readers in awe and reflection, inspiring them to take action. Literature has a silent "catalytic effect" on the times and society. In the early 1990s, China's reform and opening-up were like a dragon submerged underwater, just beginning to surface. Today, a decade later, the Chinese Eastern Dragon has soared into the world, captivating global attention. Who can deny that behind these remarkable achievements over the past decade, there are also the blood, sweat, and perseverance of countless outstanding Chinese women and men at home and abroad, who have worked tirelessly and strived with all their might?
