About This Novel
"How much human dust is needed to cover up a woman?" When Yu Xiuhua's question traveled through thousands of years of time and space, "Give Me the Beauty" swept away the dust of history. This book allows 79 ancient women who have been obscured by mainstream narratives to stand in the spotlight with the most vivid appearance, from the slender hands of Lei Zu who taught people to raise silkworms and reel silk, to the world of warp and latitude of Huang Daopo's revolution in cotton spinning; from the hidden figure of Nv Ai sneaking into the enemy country to spy on intelligence, to Liang Yu's heroic appearance of leading the army to fight against the enemy; from Jiang Yuan's agricultural foundation laid by Shengji, From the business legend of Ba Qing's monopoly on cinnabar; from Mrs. Xu Mu's determination to save the country by driving a car, to Ban Jieyu's unwillingness to express her love in her poems... They use the light of life to penetrate the fog of history and leave an indelible mark in the fields of politics, literature, economics, science, medicine, military and other fields. And when you turn the page of the book, this beam of light is also falling on your shoulders.
