Many times, the world is full of unexpected difficulties that one can’t prevent. This book “Tea and Talk” illustrates the various difficulties and obstacles encountered on the road of life. It contains 20 life stories, all of which are true stories. The protagonists of each story experience different difficulties, such as the trouble of self-identity, the breakdown of a marriage between Hong Kong and China, the problems of a single-parent family, the conflicts with children and family members, the love song with a disabled person, and the collapse of a family pillar, which all make the protagonists feel frustrated, helpless, angry or anxious.
The author is a professional counselor. She used “Bottom of the Cup” as her pen name to express her willingness to be a vessel to contain people’s life stories, and to give them a sip of tea when they encounter difficulties, so that they can regain their strength to move forward. When counseling different cases, the author enters into the lives of the recipients, greeting them with care and listening to them, triggering their ability to solve problems and finding a way out together. Reading this book may bring tears to your eyes, but the love it contains will make you feel that there is love in the world!
