Description
A poignant and beautifully illustrated memoir of enduring love and life in China. At the age of 26, Rao Pingru's life was forever changed by a single glimpse of Mao Meitang through a window as she applied lipstick. Their union, spanning almost sixty years, was marked by both joy and hardship. When Meitang passed away in 2008, Pingru was left with a deep sense of loss and a desire to preserve their story. In response, Pingru began to paint, creating a vibrant and detailed record of his life with Meitang. Through his artwork and handwritten notes, he shares the story of their marriage, set against the backdrop of China's rapid modernisation and cultural upheaval. A heart-warming and deeply personal tale, Our Story is a unique blend of love letter, folk art, and historical testament.
