"She is herself only when she is alone in that big room... Anna sat down at the table, looking down at the four notebooks, just like a general looking down from the top of the mountain at the army ready to go in the valley below." Anna, a "free woman", faced the front half Frustrated, she said: "We have refused to live by the rules, and it is normal for life not to respond to us according to the rules." She wrote her life on the verge of collapse in four-color notes: black to recall the past, red about politics, yellow to examine love, and blue to record reality. Tommy, the only reader of Anna's notes, was supposed to inherit his father's business empire, but he fell into confusion at a crossroads in his life. The young man said: "I know what I don't want, but I don't know what I want." One day, he suddenly shot himself in the head... Can the golden notebook that emerged from the four-color notebook rebuild people's inner order? This is an extraordinary woman's detailed and penetrating observations of the world full of contradictions and the relationship between the sexes.
