Tang Ao's adventure story opened my eyes, especially the descriptions of various strange cities and foreign countries in the book, which are simply wonderful! And I like the character of Aunt Feng very much. Her words "The power is in my hands, let me do whatever I want" showed me her straightforwardness and courage. This book is really worth reading!
