Revised essay: Katherine’s and Wang’s personal developments I admit that my first impression of Katherine Watson and Wang Tsai-ling (who are respective heroines of Mona Lisa Smile and And the Spring Comes) is that they have something in common. Both of them are leftover women(also called “leftover l...

Wow, Zixuan! I’m looking forward to your arrival! In fact, I don’t know much about the opera but if you don’t mind it, I will be interested in listening to what you want to share with me.

Hi, Mikaela It’s really interesting and meaningful for me to discuss with you, too! I thought Zhouyo intends to approach Tsai-ling by learning music. But after re-watching the movie, I found I was oblivious that Zhouyo had heard Tsai-ling’s songs on the radio and decided to learn music before he met...

Instead, I agree that she is positive when trying her best to pursue her dream in the first...

Mikaela, I am so sorry that I write back to you so late because your questions were really great and I need more time to think about it. Now, I think I have ideas. I think the reason why we don’t have “leftover men” is the same as what you said. It’s no doubt that China is also a male-dominated cult...

Mikaela, Thank you so much for explaining the reason why you included the quote related to women’s empowerment and the meaning of Ms. Wang’s “re-defining” success.
