Features: One of the main characters in this book, the real estate magnate Du Daoyi, wields the magic wand of money, ruling with impunity and conquering the arrogant and popular female author, yet he cannot subdue an ordinary female teacher from his university days, who is now past her prime. The entanglement and sharp conflict between these two characters, both rooted in history and reality, are full of twists and turns. The world depicted here: the disillusionment of intellectuals, the arrogance of the newly wealthy, the steadfastness of idealists, and the boundless pursuit of profit by those who seek gain—serve as a vivid portrayal of the struggles in the competitive landscape of life during a transitional era. Across the Ocean continues and expands the story of Across Generations (published by the Writer's Publishing House in June 2003). This book portrays the present reality; its lyrical prose is rich in meaning, imbued with a strong sense of life.
