Li Ang released her newest title amidst the hubbub surrounding the recent presidential elections. Long viewed as a writer with strong political views, Li Ang has never hesitated to describe her political goals in her fiction. Yet she flew to Paris a few days before March's presidential elections to receive France's insigne de Chevalier des arts et des lettres, giving rise to much speculation.
在前陣子總統大選緊鑼密鼓之際，李昂推出這本新作，而既然被外界視為政治立場鮮明的作家，李昂一向不避諱在小說中抒發她的政治懷抱，這回在總統大選的前幾天，她放棄投票權，飛往巴黎接受法國國立圖書中心頒授的「文化藝術騎士勳章」，也不免讓外界多所聯想。
