Description
In 17th Century China, a romance of two people at odds with society. She is Meihua who learned to read and write in secret, education being forbidden for women. He is Longyan, a dyslectic whose word-blindness disgraces his family and prevents him from pursuing a scholarly career. Whereupon he joins the army and becomes a great soldier. Eventually, both are exiled. By the author of Cinnabar.
