Paul was born in a small Central European country between World War I and World War II. The manor that the family supported by agriculture was still preserved during World War I. His mother was a property owner from the upper class, and his father was an officer who started as an ordinary soldier. The huge gap between them in China cast a shadow on Paul's childhood. In the year when the appeasement policy began, Paul had just turned eighteen and joined the army at the suggestion of his mother. From then on, he embarked on the road of escaping from the manor, his hometown and his original way of life. After the war, he settled in the United States, fabricated the surname Hills for himself, and married Anna, a girl who immigrated from China. Anna's experience is similar to his: an old-style family, a pair of parents who want to completely control him, but she breaks away from the constraints and pursues a study abroad, independent, and open life. Anna died in her later years after writing a book comparing the situation in Europe and China after World War II. The task of adding the supplement fell to Paul - but he had dyslexia. How should he overcome such a life?
