The conclusion to the nine-part adventure of little rich girl Yaya
and her street urchin friend Tuduo as they cross war-torn Shanghai
in the wake of the Japanese invasion of 1937 in hopes of finding
Yaya's parents. This nine-volume series chronicles their long
journey fraught with perils. The children meet all sorts of people,
both friendly and wicked, as they travel toward Hong Kong. Yaya and
Tuduo learn many growing lessons along the way, not the least of
which is to judge a person on their character, not their social or
financial status. The gloom of war, its absurd tragedy, gives way
to the incredible capacity of youth to overwhelm grim reality. Yaya
is finally back home in Shanghai, ending her great adventure where
hope and disillusionment intertwined. But her homecoming is met
with a very bad surprise -- the big house where she expected to
find her family is deserted. Only the loyal driver Chang is there
to greet her. Fortunately, Tuduo and his little brother arrive to
cheer her up and give her hope. Because her parents may not be that
far away... But the seemingly indestructible Zhu continues to lurk
in the shadows...
