Long ago, in Yangzhou, there was an official's family surnamed Lin. They had a daughter named Lin Daiyu!
She had been frail and sickly since childhood, yet was born with such beauty that she could outshine any woman!
But after she turned fourteen, her fate changed!
By comparison, a later poem said:
The Lin family's daughter has come of age, her strength can uproot mountains, her spirit can conquer the world!
A letter summons her to the Grand View Garden, where she spends the night at the Lanruo Temple in the wilderness!
True, straightforward, and valiant, she's a heroine, no fit match for a wealthy family or their scheming!
She can slay a ferocious tiger with warmed wine, and knock the Black Mountain demon down with three punches!
As the saying goes: her hands are delicate as jade, yet possess the strength of ten thousand catties. First she seems a frail, sickly maiden, then a martial heroine. She punches demons and kicks evil gods! Truly, a heavenly goddess has descended to earth, not to undergo a trial, but to right old wrongs.
