Because of her family background, Xu Mufeng is cold and withdrawn, like a puppet controlled by her parents. The force of traditional Chinese parenting has confined her to a cage: she never voices her own thoughts, contradicts her parents, or makes decisions for herself. She longs for freedom but has never truly known it. Her mother's beliefs and methods of raising her have cut away every thorn in her path, yet broken the wings she longed to use to fly.
