Features: Tang Shaocai, a middle school art teacher, followed her husband to study in Japan and returned to China after her visa expired. To achieve the goal of returning to Japan, she divorced her husband, left her four-year-old daughter behind, and married a Japanese man, Masami, with whom she had no love. After the marriage, her daughter was adopted by Masami, and they later had a son named Shigeo together. How is it like for a Chinese woman to marry a Japanese man? How is the relationship between a Chinese girl and her Japanese stepfather? With unprecedented boldness, the author tells the true story of her eight years of struggling in a foreign land, her spirit nearly collapsing, and ultimately finding peace, analyzing the dark and bright sides of human nature in marriage. She says to Chinese women who long for and might marry foreign men: International marriage is not an "international" issue, but a "marriage" issue.
