    Reader note

    I recommend "She's Freer Than the South Wind." It's a coming-of-age story for a girl, and also a portrait of a group of people's youth. The protagonist falls from grace in a wealthy Beijing family to a small town in the south, finding healing along the way and gradually discovering herself. The benefactors she encounters aren't the wealthy suitors, but the teacher who teaches her that "the best words grow from life," the aunt who shares her salary with her for tuition, and the two best friends who are always by her side. They don't pave the way for her; they simply let her go further on her own. In the end, she doesn't stand in anyone's shadow; she herself is the light. This book conveys a precious message: the distant places you desire are never reached by others, but by yourself, step by step.
