A Chinese Girl Graduate

Actually this is a highly tedious read: fairytale-like plot especially at the end, endless streams of Chinese references that I could not relate to (though this is normal since the late writer was a Sinology professor), and most importantly, vocabularic verbosity. The only rewarding things I found, and deeply like, from this story is that it has a well-developed unique protagonist and the world-building which adds a distinctive Chinese flavor to it.
