Everyone knows that Pan Jinlian is a disaster.
But no one has ever asked who she was before she became a "disaster".
In the early years of Xuanhe, Zishi Street, Yanggu County.
Sixteen-year-old Pan Jinlian sold herself to bury her mother and became a maid in Zhang's mansion. Beauty is the original sin, and needlework is her bones.
Under the broken lamp in the woodshed, the blind old woman taught her half a broken needle and half a broken music book:
"Don't embroider clothes for the powerful. If you want to embroider, embroider for the poor and show the world."
She remembered.
From the firewood shed of Zhang Mansion to the purple stone streets, from the Flower Guarding House to the Liangshan River, she used the needle as a pen, the thread to condense the soul, and the compassion as the blade.
What is embroidered is peony, and what is embroidered is the human heart.
Later, the world said that she was the "fifth most beautiful woman of all time" - not because she was beautiful, but because she became the first woman in history who did not rely on men, did not act as a pawn, and completely controlled her own destiny.
Intention: Not to whitewash, just to make up for regrets.
