The Flow of Life - "Miss Ye"s True Story

The heroine of this book is an extraordinary woman from a powerful and wealthy family, who struggled to live through some eighty years of the turbulent Taiwan-China-Hong Kong era.

She endured the bullying of her step-mother. She did not receive any inheritance from her wealthy father simply because she was his daughter, not his son.

She was separated from her children for some twenty years during the times of social and civil upheaval. In order to survive and to feed the family, she had to accept whatever jobs she could get, no matter how unsuitable for a woman of her status.

Even though she was married three times, spanning Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taipei, she insisted to be called Miss Ye to maintain an air of independence which is her quintessential character. And in all her marriages, she always had the last word in family matters.

The life of Miss Ye, as told in this book, has taught us that life is like flow of water. When water encounters obstacles or is blocked, it never fights head on; it just goes around instead.
While never losing sight of her final goal, Miss Ye used the flow to empower herself and her family, and to keep herself in perfect form, thus to enjoy life to its utmost.

Also, it is interesting to note that the story was told by the mother, written by her daughter and published by her grandson.
