When I was in Shanghai, I rarely even went out to play by myself." When she arrived in Tokyo, Shen Jie first studied Japanese for half a year. When choosing her major, she hesitated for half a year: "Many teachers and friends... It was suggested that I study acting, and that was what I planned to do when I went abroad. Later, I often chatted with some lawyer friends around me, and found that law is a very fascinating subject: through a civil case, I discovered that small things can cause conflicts.

After graduating from college, I go to Taiwan every year. I have to do two things: one is for my grandfather. The first thing to do when visiting the grave was to visit Grandma Lin. Taiwan is no stranger to me. Grandma Lin was born in Japan, and many people around her said that we were very similar, especially in terms of personality. She was a very simple and righteous person. When she was about to die last year, she often sang children's songs, showing her childlike innocence."

"I went to Taiwan last year and met Mr. Lin. Some students, her students were mainly engaged in the publishing industry. At that time, they gave me a collection of novels by Mr. Lin. After reading it carefully, I was deeply attracted by "Marriage Story". I really want to make it into a movie or TV series. Mr. Lin's works all have female protagonists. She has a strong sense of observation, so when watching her works, you often feel that the characters she describes are right next to you. .
