#1919–2019#

#My name is Bai Li. The cries of the May Fourth demonstrations in 1919 froze time for me. My face stayed forever seventeen, turning me into an unbreakable “holdout” against the changing times.

A century of upheaval is my playground. At the Paris Peace Conference, I worked as an interpreter at Versailles. During the Northern Expedition, I was a battlefield nurse, a “lucky star” to the troops. In Shanghai during the isolated-island period, I was the “Red Rose” who could get her hands on any intelligence. On the eve of the Normandy landings, I said farewell to pilots in a London pub.

On the surface, I am the brightest wave of every era: wearing the latest qipao, dancing the wildest jazz, and not caring when people mistake me for a “loose woman.” In truth, I use a century of experience as camouflage, with a mind as fine and perceptive as a strand of hair. I only want the freedom to experience every vivid moment.

From the May Fourth Movement to Reform and Opening Up, from World War II to the financial crisis, my undying body has measured the world’s upheavals. This is no epic of an immortal, just a girl using her eternal youth to learn how to love this land without betraying the heart that has always yearned for freedom, until 2019, when I open a brand-new diary beneath the Forbidden City’s first snowfall. #
