From childhood, the protagonist, Chang Sihan, excelled academically and stood out among her peers. Yet starting at age seventeen, she faced two failures in three attempts to continue her education. Even so, she refused to let them break her.
Chang Sihan was simple-hearted and sweet, but unlucky in love. Both of her marriages ended quickly.
She endured the loss of loved ones, illness, harassment and persecution by her ex-husband, and decades of hardship... Through it all, Chang Sihan never fell, nor did she let anything stop her from moving forward.
She believed that as long as she had the courage to keep going, she would eventually find a garden of flowers beneath the sunshine...
After all her struggles, Chang Sihan became an even better version of herself. More than thirty years of setbacks transformed her, and at last she built the life she had always wanted.
Theme: As Heaven maintains its vigor, so should a noble person strive constantly for self-improvement.
