About This Novel
After reading "The Veil", I realized that you can do without love, but don't lose yourself! The representative work of "Story Master" Maugham in his mature period is a novel based on his personal experience after traveling to China in 1920. It uses the story of a British woman who came to China in a turbulent era to explore the meaning and value of women's existence in the world. It has been adapted into movies three times, touching countless fans, and is known as "a classic for women's spiritual awakening." Marquez, Haruki Murakami, Zhang Ailing, and Wang Anyi moved to recommend. Reader Classic Library's new hardcover illustrated edition of "The Veil" specially includes "Maugham's Travels in China" to help readers understand the story behind "The Veil" and further understand "The Veil".

People often have to wait until they lose something before they understand what they really want and what they should cherish.
I read another good book and got to know a good author.
A very good book, the writing is smooth and beautiful, and it is a hearty read.
Sometimes I think I have taken a seemingly easy path, but in fact I have given up on my soul, which has also written a tragic ending for myself.
I hope everyone's choice is full of sincerity and intention, and is both kindness and responsibility. If not, you might as well stop and think about it to improve your understanding before choosing whether to take this step!
