wow! I have a feeling with all of you that we are friends "last life"!!
I started to read her novels, all long version, since 1986, now 20 years. I read all her long version novels and bought most of them. And I will read and re-read her novels when I have time and when no new books are published.
She really affects my personality and character. When I was young, I really thought like the novels character, certainly I changed a bit when grown up.
I only read Chinese novels written by her and no others.
