About This Novel
Kitty, a beautiful but vain British woman, accepts the proposal of Walter Fane, a withdrawn doctor, in order to prevent herself from becoming an old girl. She came to Hong Kong with Walter and had an affair with a married man, Charlie Townsend. Faced with his unfaithful wife, Walter decided to take his family to practice medicine in mainland China where cholera was rampant. In a distant and beautiful foreign land, they passed by death and despair every day, and experienced emotional waves they had never experienced before... Kitty, struggling in the whirlpool of love, betrayal and death, experienced disillusionment and separation from life and death, and finally gradually lifted the veil of life from her eyes, and embarked on the road of spiritual growth without regrets. As the original novel of the movie of the same name, the novel's meticulous portrayal of love and betrayal, death and disillusionment has made it a timeless classic.

Marriage is different from love
In real life, there are also many women (both unmarried and divorced) who spend their whole lives looking for the so-called perfect partner and marriage, but they may have overlooked one thing. No one is perfect. Marriage is different from love. Romantic joy is only fleeting. No matter how intense and entangled the two people have experienced during the relationship, they will end up with ordinary daily necessities. A woman can weave marriage into a dream, but a woman cannot live in this dream her whole life.
"It was the dog that died."
Life has been ups and downs for decades, and love is only an insignificant part of it. We should not resent and retaliate because our efforts are not rewarded, nor should we punish ourselves because of other people's mistakes.
