Pure Heart Return: Gradually Become Aware (Chinese Edition)

This is a real story written in Chinese about the personal experience of an elderly female intellectual. She has lived through four historical periods of China: the Republic of China before the Marco Polo Bridge (July 7) Incident, the Japanese Invasion of China, the Republic of China after World War II Victory, and the currently governing People's Republic of China. Entirely due to her elementary school and family being patriotic and boycotting the enslavement education imposed by Japanese invaders, she could have a happy childhood. However, she had to face serious hardships in the fourth historical period, even though she always did her utmost in career. Through almost 70 years carried along on the tidal wave of reality since 1949, including the protagonist, nobody could avoid having their mentality and ethical values being polluted and falling into a state of submission to the leader. Fortunately, after many moments of frustration and many periods of hardship, she gradually awoke, and realized the corruption of the society. Eventually, pure heart returns.
