This story is set in Shanghai around the 22nd year of the Republic of China (around 1933). The story is told in the first person. This is an inspirational series of stories about how my mother and I came to Shanghai from Sichuan to Shanghai in 1928 (the 17th year of the Republic of China) when I was 9 years old to look for my biological father, and how I eventually transformed.
(P. S The story is not the author's personal experience)
