When Aileen was ten years old, her mother advocated sending her to school, but her father repeatedly made a fuss about it. Finally, her mother sent her as hard as human trafficking. Because of her good foundation, she entered the fourth grade of Huang primary school. When Aileen took out the admission ticket, she wanted to give herself a new name because the word "Zhang" was not loud. She hesitated for a moment, didn't know what name to fill in, and held her head. Not feeling well; Weak. Zhang Ailing, an ordinary name, was just a casual expression of her mother's mind, but later it resounded through the literary world. Mother always intends to change it for her, not to change it.
