Did you know that the teas that fill the shelves of stores are actually no better than straw, and that growing tea bushes on terraces is a sham? How is real tea made? The Akha people, who have been making medicinal pu-erh for centuries, know this. In a mountain village, peasants take care of tea trees and sacredly preserve ancient traditions. The girl Liyan was taught the same, but after witnessing the ritual murder of newborn twins, she no longer wants to worship the old idols. She has to fall in love, become a translator for a sly businessman, a single mother forced to abandon her daughter in an orphanage, the wife of a drug addict, a student - she seems to swing on the traditional Akha swing, sometimes following the ideals of her people, sometimes renouncing them... A fascinating story, the connecting thread of which is pu-erh tea, is a new success for the famous Lisa Xi, author of the novels "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan", "Peony Pavilion", "Girls from Shanghai" and "Mrs. Tan's Inner Circle".
