Features: Kallen/Guo Dan, born into a family with a strong artistic atmosphere, began studying under the master guzheng player Yao Yide at a young age. In her youth, she was personally visited by the renowned poet Zhang Kechai for her essay "Kite," becoming a dazzling young woman. In her teens, she left her family and hometown to embark on a long and arduous journey of studying abroad. From a child star at a Singaporean art school to an excellent student at a prestigious Swiss business school; from a perfume girl in Zurich's luxury boutiques to an Eastern woman playing the piano in star-rated hotels in the "City of Paradise"; from a street guide in Bern to a part-time student working as a signed model for a famous European advertising company. This unique personality and outstanding talent were nurtured through her drifting life, rich yet full of hardships. Her extraordinary temperament and persistent beliefs were forged through her choices and pressures. Faced with various options and challenges, she abandoned superficiality and chose to pursue writing. She meticulously crafted this work, telling the stories of her and other Chinese girls' pursuit and struggles in a foreign land, depicting the passionate, cold, ambitious, and desolate chapters of their lives.
