Ma Yan's Diary
by Ma Yan
About This Novel
Xihaigu, Ningxia, was designated as an unsuitable place for human survival by the United Nations Food and Development Program in 1972. There is a girl there, bearing the pressure of poverty on her young shoulders. Her name is Ma Yan. She has been keeping diaries since she was in the fourth grade of elementary school. She wrote down her desire to go to school and her worries about dropping out of school in her diaries. By the time she graduated from elementary school, she had saved 6 diaries. Three of them were smoked by my father as cigarette papers. In 2001, her diary fell into the hands of a French journalist from Paris, and like a bottle containing a message for help, it successfully reached the other side. In 2003, the French version of "Ma Yan's Diary" was published in Paris, and it quickly topped the best-seller list in France. The Dutch, Spanish, and English versions were successively released. Ma Yan donated part of her royalties to the French Ningxia Children's Foundation to provide education for poor children in her hometown. She has currently funded hundreds of Ningxia children.

As Ma Yan grows older and has more life experience, the content of her diary becomes more and more profound. A brave, strong, optimistic and loving girl.
This book is very good, very suitable for primary school students. I bought two copies, one for each of my niece and brother-in-law.
This book is very suitable for teenagers to read😊😊
This is a very good book, it suits me very well!
Why are so few people reading this book? It makes no sense.
This book made me understand how difficult it is to study. It allows us to face study and life from a new perspective.
No matter what situation you are in, you should never give up on yourself
