Synopsis

This book is a unique insight into the transformation of a young Chinese woman. At the turn of the 20th century, the daughter of a wealthy family struggles against the confines of tradition. By an act of rebellion against an arranged marriage, she marries a young man who shares her desire for freedom. However the difficulties of the world outside the walls of her family's compound, and the strains of their day-to-day life engulf them. The author expertly weaves a tale of love, sacrifice, and a determination to break the stifling boundaries of the past. It is a story that heartbreakingly reveals the individual cost of societal change, while showing the indomitable spirit of a woman empowered by the beliefs of a new era. It is a story that offers poignant reflections on the clash between tradition and modernity in an evolving society.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
