Once a friend told her that you were alive because you felt, and if you didn’t feel anything you were dead.

At the age of 10, she wrote her first original story. The second was when her asthma became pretty severe.

She expected that no one has seen her works because she would always hide the manuscripts and pushed it inside the big brown box in her bedroom.
