While most young women dream about love and romance, Lu turned her back on the subject in her early 20s and spent the prime of her youth in service of the women of Taiwan. She locked horns with an authoritarian state and ended up in prison, where a bout with cancer almost ended her life. And the incarceration sent Lu's mother to an early grave-dead of a broken heart.
她曾經慧劍斬情絲，把青春賦予所有的台灣女性；也曾經為台灣自由民主出生入死，在獄中癌症復發幾乎喪命，最愛的母親也因她被捕坐牢而傷痛得病去世，連最後一面都未得見。
