The second installment, A Journey to Study in Southern Yunnan During the Republic of China, is now being serialized. Let's look forward to Linghui's next journey!
Fourteen-year-old Su Linghui, a young lady from a distinguished family, travels to Shanghai for her cousin's wedding to a shipping magnate, only to be unexpectedly promised to a wealthy and powerful young general.
When she learns that she is to be married in two years, Su Linghui throws her head back and cries out.
"I refuse!"
"I want to study, I want to work, I want the freedom to love!"
But her father's stern reproaches beneath his loving facade, and her handsome fiance's gentle attentiveness that nevertheless presses her at every turn, make her begin to waver.
Only after witnessing the filth beneath her cousin's lavish wedding, Bai Moli's helplessness in the brothels of Changsan, the people of the shantytown village burned by war, and Fan Xiaohu being beaten by foreigners, does Su Linghui understand the kind of world she lives in.
In the end, she says, "I refuse to be a vine twining around a great tree. I refuse to shelter from the rain beneath my parents' or fiance's roof. I want to be a backbone, to make sure war no longer ravages our country, and to ensure farmers have land to till and the elderly have someone to rely on."
[Reading Guide]
A slightly fictionalized Republic of China setting, with a large ensemble cast, but the heroine is very much at the center.
The heroine is a local, exceptionally intelligent, and devoted to building her career!
A note for readers: Linghui will not run away from her marriage right away. Her decision is not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration. Until she was fourteen, she lived in an Eden. She understood right and wrong, but had never truly experienced society. She will go through many things before she begins to understand how this distorted society operates by devouring people, and what kinds of violations her weakened country is suffering. Only after she has established her life's goal will she decide to leave home and live life on her own terms.
Everyone, including all the men involved with the heroine, is only a passerby in her life. They each leave a vivid mark on her life and make it richer.
But as they travel through life, they will all get off at their stops. Only Linghui will keep going until the end of the journey, never looking back, always moving forward.
The heroine's one true love is her career and her country!
This is a story centered on a strong female lead, unfolding through her perspective. Everyone who appears in the story is a passerby in her life. The author loves only the heroine.
She says, "I love freedom, I love truth, and I love my country even more."
This novel is also titled Fleeting Light. I was inspired while listening to this piece of music.

But you are clearly the one who occupies too many resources in the family and enjoys and uses power and money. Why should your daughter take the responsibility on your behalf?
At the beginning, I still don't know why the old man said that the heroine is lucky, but after seeing it, it turns out that's the case. The suffering of others has turned into the possible glory of the heroine, giving the great master more glory.
Ah, little Taozi is really kind!
It's a very good article. There's no other way to describe it other than "very good" because I already said it last time, "very real and very heavy." But we need novels with this kind of background.
Are you about to leave the golden house?
Although it's good, Xiao Su will have to leave home in the future, so she still hopes to understand more aspects of this society through this time.
