About This Novel
Chen Danyan's non-fiction works record the true fate of female ancestors and explore the difficult balance between love and independence. Ayu, who had no chance to go to school, get married and have children, was trapped in her family all her life, giving her all to her family and raising three generations of children. She has no independent career and has been busy in the kitchen all her life, but with her soft heart, she taught Chen Danyan and others the ability to love, so that they can eventually become loved and protected people. In Ayu, Chen Danyan saw a powerful ability to love. She used everything she had to give love to others, and she also dared to ask for love from others despite her illness. She was also able to pass on this ability of love to everyone under her care, so that everyone could become a person who was willing to give love, be good at receiving love, and dare to ask for love. Reflecting on ourselves through Ayu's story, Chen Danyan raises a question to readers: Is it possible for us who are independent because of our careers to give love and teach others to love like Ayu who is dependent on family?
