"White Lily" by Ting Xing Ye follows the story of a young girl named Kai who grows up in a family torn apart by the impacts of war and cultural expectations. Set against the backdrop of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Kai’s journey is one of self-discovery as she navigates the complexities of loyalty, love, and identity. She grapples with her family's traditional values and her quest for personal freedom, ultimately striving to find her own voice in a world that seeks to silence her. Through vivid storytelling, the novel explores themes of resilience, hope, and the power of inner strength. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
