    The first four books are by Meng Zhiwan; her writing is excellent and the content is quite heart-wrenching, based on her own experiences. The first three are sister stories, and the rest are based on my personal experience. The fifth book has a rather cliché plot, involving illness and such, but I'm not easily moved to tears and cried for a long time. The fourth and fifth chapters of the last book are particularly good.
