About This Novel
[Marriage Crisis + Female Growth + Workplace Difficulties] 35-year-old Lin Xiaoman was emotionally isolated and entangled in CPTSD. She also encountered unemployment and marital crisis, and her life hit rock bottom. She is like a fish trapped in a fish tank, both dependent on safety and longing for freedom. Why is she always emotionally numb and her mind blank? She traces her childhood trauma through fragmented writing, from seeking to "become a useful fish" to accepting imperfections, and using words to rebuild herself. In the end, in the process of getting along with my daughter, I learned that existence itself is value. Even in the dim light of a fish tank, a dreaming fish can be raised. Her self-rescue is the most touching growth of a middle-aged woman.
