The novel "Ling Yu" tells the story of a woman named Ling Yu's life experience from adolescence to middle age. She is one of many Chinese people who studied hard from childhood, later studied abroad, and stayed to work and live abroad. Emotionally, she experienced the breakup of her parents' relationship when she was young, first met her lover in college, broke up with her lover as an adult, and finally chose to be a single mother. She is the epitome of many women: the pain of childhood, the alienation from parents, the desire for family, the contradiction between self-esteem and admiration in love, and the maternal instinct. All that life has given and experienced in this world finally allowed Lingyu to move from persistence to understanding, to reconcile with the past, and to reconcile with himself.
