Introduction of works
Their Private Lives is made up of nine stories about women's anxieties and life circumstances as daughters, mothers, grandmothers, wives and lovers.
Regardless of their status, these women strive to be who they want to be, and they struggle between social and religious expectations of who they are and who they really are.
In order to live out their true selves, in order to resist the erosion and restraint of social and moral dogma on themselves, in order not to be worn away by the triviality of life, they live a secret private life, with their secret desire, fanatical love and moral entanglements, bravely set foot on their own happy life road, and there is no shortage of blood and tears on the way. But behind the blood and tears there is the light of freedom.
