Features: She is a rare "pioneer" on the journey of life: when others haven't even "set off," she has already "arrived"; when others haven't finished getting ready, she has already performed the entire play; when others are just about to start climbing, she has already returned from the summit; when she feels that there is another person worth cherishing beyond herself; when she resolves not to be a wife in name only, turning "home" into a "refuge" where the beloved feels comfortable; when she takes the "quiet elderly couple she saw in the scenery of Europe" as her ideal for family life; when she firmly locks in her "life destination," she is only twenty-one. What fascinates and moves people about her is the "maturity" and "wisdom" she achieved after enduring hardships.
