Features: The book tells the story of an ordinary person, someone who is not as strong as some, not as calm as others, not as intelligent as some, and not as rational as others. She is an emotional person, like someone trying to build a house on sand, desperately wanting to establish a positive and upward life. Perhaps she is also an optimist who covers her wounds, neither showing them to others nor looking at them herself. She is someone who doesn't know how to cope and is filled with pain, her body and heart covered in injuries. She is a serious person who fears being left behind, isolated, or abandoned by others. She is Yao Yao—Yao Yao, born in chaos in 1944, died an untimely death in 1975. Her mother was the film star Shangguan Yunzhu, and her father was the author of "The Secret History of the Qing Palace," Yao Ke.
