Beautiful and heart wrenching, but also heart warming. Shu Wen's journey is certainly one which should be read by all.

This was poignant. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this "love story", but it's one that transcended expectations.

Felt betrayed after learning about integrity issues surrounding this book. Shame.
I almost could’ve semi-enjoyed this book if it weren’t for the totally scammy premise that this is nonfiction. The book itself has a fiction disclaimer at the beginning, and the so-called true story is literally just stereotype after stereotype. None of the characters came to life in the slightest, and I couldn’t get any grasp of the timeline. It was just “we did nothing, random bad thing, back to nothing again”. I wanted to like this since I usually love translated works and have enjoyed basically all Chinese pieces I’ve read, but this just felt utterly contrived. Wen felt like a caricature of a person. Ugh. So disappointing.
This book touched my heart in a way I never expected. It really altered my outlook and brought me to a quiet peace that I wasn't even looking for. A sad but uplifting story.
