    These are heartwarming stories set in a modern world. The first is a guide to urban life as a homeless person, purely realistic with strong moral values.

The protagonist discovers she's been sold and bravely escapes her family, struggling to survive by scavenging and sleeping in underground parking garages and public restrooms. She encounters various people from the lower classes, experiencing warmth and mutual support along the way. The kindness of strangers provides immense help, and the resilient protagonist repays those who helped her through her own efforts. The characters' development is clear, with well-defined arcs. The protagonist initially suffers from low self-esteem, weakness, and a strong sense of unworthiness, but later becomes capable, spirited, and sunny, gaining friendship, love, and family along the way. Reading this book is like participating in a girl's entire inspiring youth; it's well worth reading. The second book is a middle-aged urban survival diary.

    Two non-fiction books whose titles don't do them justice—one is set in a historical period, the other in modern times. Neither features domineering CEOs nor naive, innocent characters. The female protagonists are morally upright, articulate, and intelligent. Highly recommended!
