Jane Austen 1775-1817

I was born in a tiny island village, where the culture was, wealth is the foundation of a good marriage. I happen to read a lot as a teen, starting one book as I finished the last. In the island's only one room library I read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice in Chinese translation, a young woman would reject a wealthy man because she didn't love him, when Elizabeth Bennet said to Darcy, "… I would now thank you. But I cannot — I have never desired your good opinion… " 

I turned down a few proposals later and my mother was not happy!
