About this book
Li Cunxin's memoir opens with a village wedding in Qingdao, where a young bride waits anxiously to meet the husband chosen for her. The account describes family expectations, ceremonial preparations and the financial obligations surrounding marriage. Her refusal of foot binding and concern about acceptance introduce the pressures on women within this family and social setting.
