Zhang Li has not yet told all the important stories of her childhood in 1940s and 1950s Malaya. This second memoir fills the gaps in her first volume, The Reluctant Migrant's Daughter . Li also regales us with further travel stories, family dramas and life lessons. She details the decline and eventual death of her husband of nearly 58 years, followed by her intense grief. Li's own health problems create yet another journey that only begins at the age of 83 years.Li's reflections lead her to realise that, with her roller coaster ride of experiences, she has received much in this life. It has been a life worth living!
