Days of Moving Forward

In the first half of Li Xiangqian's life, her ambitions soared to the heavens, but her fate was as thin as paper.

Her father said, “You’re a jinx who fell from the sky!”

Zhou Xie said, “You’re a golden phoenix who flew down from the mountains.”

In the second half of her life, armed with the skills her grandfather taught her, Li Xiangqian breezed through every obstacle and climbed to the top of the world.

Her father said, “All that talent of yours is thanks to me.”

Zhou Xie said, “A good bird chooses a tree to nest in. You are your own parasol tree.”
