"It's hard to achieve much in the world, but I act according to what my heart finds peace with." Ms. Zi modified a famous quote by Zeng Guofan to describe herself. She does not pander to the world or conform to popular trends, advocating for Chinese people to break free from the "imperial tutor" complex. In her half a million words, her thoughts and concerns still revolve around "the homeland where she was born, grew up, and will eventually grow old."
