At Seventy, I Became a Wanted Criminal Among the Stars

Seventy years old is, in the eyes of the world, the age at which one can enjoy his grandchildren and enjoy his old age in peace. But Lin Xiulan didn't. She was once the top quantum physicist on the planet, but after retirement, her family sent her to a nursing home to "live out her old age" - because her daughter thought she was "old and useless" and because society felt that "old ladies should look like old ladies." When alien civilization invaded the earth, and when the smartest minds in the world were helpless, it was this forgotten old lady in the nursing home who used her lifelong learning to crack the quantum communication code of the alien fleet. She was wanted, hunted, and misunderstood, but she also lived her most dazzling light in the darkest era of the universe. Age is never a shackle, and identity is never a shackle. When a woman decides to live for herself, seventy is the best age.
