Features: Despite being heartbroken countless times, tears are enough to water my olive orchard on Mount Ganlan. The author remains like the solitary, resilient, and tenacious eagle of Mount Ganlan, covered in blood, perched on the cold, inaccessible rocks, staring straight at the sun, motionless, waiting for precious rebirth, for transformation, for nirvana. She is a legendary woman who emerged from the Ganlan Mountains of Sichuan's Yi Autonomous Prefecture, now holding dual citizenship of the United States and the United Kingdom. Over 18 years, she has traveled to over 100 countries. Everything that has happened in her life can only be described as legendary: In 1986, she joined the China Yangtze River Exploration and Rafting Team, becoming the only female lead raider in the world's first full-length Yangtze River rafting expedition; In 1992, she published the documentary novel Daughter of the Yangtze in Paris, based on the long experience, which became one of the best-selling books in French that year; In 1992, she had a grand wedding with her American boyfriend Kevin at the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris; In 1993, she invested in real estate in the UK, becoming a millionaire in just a few years; In 2001, due to Kevin's betrayal, Asha and Kevin began a three-year divorce lawsuit, resulting in Asha losing ￡6 million in assets; In 2004, the Oxford Museum in the UK collected a portrait modeled after Asha, named after her, with a caption: "Asha said: I want to do everything I want to do!" Now, Asha has returned to her birthplace, the Ganlan Mountains, purchased a 200-acre olive orchard on Mount Ganlan, and written about her legendary life over the past 20 years. The name of this book is Jihu Asha. Her life is so rich that some compare her to Sanmao, while others compare her to Yang Erchenanma. However, she is her own unique self—Jihu Asha.
