About This Novel
About the author Name: Su Xiao (pseudonym, taken from the name of the protagonist in the novel) Birthplace: Rural area in northern China Age: Early 30s Occupation: Freelance writer, trauma therapist Creative background and original intention Su Xiao's creation stems from an unforgettable personal experience. On the third day of the Lunar New Year when she was ten years old, she was celebrating the New Year at her grandma's house. That day, she and her father were preparing to return to their own home from her grandma's house, and her uncle Wang Hao offered to drive them. However, at the intersection, the vehicle crashed and she and her uncle were thrown out of the car. Fortunately, they survived, but her father remained in the car forever. The death of his father has become an indelible pain in Su Xiao's life. These experiences made her deeply aware of the weight of trauma in her original family, and also allowed her to see the resilience of women in struggling and awakening in difficult situations. "Living with a smile" is not only the theme of her novels, but also her own life creed. She hopes that through writing, she can tell the pain and strength hidden in the darkness, so that more people who have experienced trauma can feel resonance and strength, and also let society pay attention to those who have been ignored.
