Nien Lun Yeh
A "wrongly arranged marriage" lasted 57 years.
All the sufferings during Japanese War, long separation between China and the West, all brutal communist political campaigns, fatal cancer attack, etc, deepened the love.
The wife eventually became friends with the rivals in love in both China and the West.
Love beaten cancer, enabling her husband to focus on publishing over 2 millions words after his retirement at 80.
Yuan Yin started to write "Flying against the Wind" in Chinese at the age of 83 and completed at 85. Then her grandson George Yeh keyed the text into computer and her son Nien Lun Yeh finalized it.
The book tells how one can really enjoy both love and life from all kinds of unavoidable human sufferings.
It was published and recommended as one of the best 60 Women's Books of the Year 2000 in China, and then translated into English by Nien Lun Yeh
