Today my life will change. I am to be married to a farmer called Wang-Lung. Today I will leave The house of Hwang in which I have lived and served for ten years. I must say that I am curious to meet the man that I am to serve.

Hello, My name is O-lan. I have started this blog in the hopes that others may read what I feel in the times to come. To look at me not for the slave women I am on the outside, but for the inside. I hope who ever may read this will truly understand me.
