Let me tell you the story of that lady and me.
It was around the time the Western nations were establishing diplomatic relations with the imperial court. Everyone was somewhat fascinated by Western culture, and my family was no exception.
My family were wealthy merchants in the area. My parents were also interested in Western culture, but they didn't dare take a risk.
A wealthy merchant in a nearby household had already sent his daughter overseas to study.
The day she returned, my mother took me next door to catch a glimpse of her.

Theme: It was fate
(I don't know much about history, just based on my experience in reading novels) "I", as a purdah girl and a lady of the world, saw the "new trendy" foreign girls for the first time. The first step to experience the different cultures of foreign countries and China should be dressing up. Western women's "clothes go up to expose the breasts, and the skirts are worn down... Which is very strange." (I don't know what the author's specific settings are. I found the information online) When a lady sees a foreign lady, the word "prostitute" seems to be an adjective when she thinks of it. She is upset, open, enthusiastic, outgoing, and like a prostitute. There should be nothing particularly strange about it. People's cognition is limited. The "I" in the article seems to be feudal and conservative, so it is normal. (Tonic attacks the author)
