In ancient times, during the cultural revolution, in exile in America, now - in rural China. There's so much pain and misery! I don't know how to help! Tears, pearls, concubines, eunuchs, unwanted girl babies, pock marks, lily feets, litters (you call them jiao, no?), rice, moons, hunger, rape and disease.
The agony!
