Features: This novel was once rejected by a major publishing house in Hong Kong, where the author waited for a long time without success. Out of boldness, she wrote to the Taiwan-based Erya Publishing and was appreciated by the editor, leading to its publication several months before The Starving Daughters. This is the author's second full-length novel and the first in a trilogy about the future. It depicts the extraordinary experiences of a Chinese woman in the future, in Shanghai, New York, and Prague. "I," an innocent, gets caught in a whirlpool of struggles unrelated to her, being mistaken for a leader, a Bodhisattva, or a political rival. In reality, the role she truly takes on and suffers for is that of a lover. The future delivers the final crushing blow to individuals, to anyone who wishes to preserve emotional space, no matter how far they flee to the corners of the world.
