Lesbian writer espouses true love is guiltless

Chinanews, Nov. 23 - China's first autobiographical "Lala" novel by
lesbian writer -- "My angel my love" has been published by China Theatre
Publishing House. This is China's first novel reflecting lesbians at
work, at love and their lifestyle and psychology.
The singular name of Lala is not yet widely known. It is a self-appointed
name for a group of lonely people existing in society. The rest of the
world called them lesbians. Last year, China officially published
estimates of 5 to 10 million homosexuals for all of China. Some experts
guess that this group of underground people may number as many as 50
million.
The life and emotional state of this group of people are full of mystery
to ordinary folks. Many of the latter find it hard to comprehend the
former's action. One Lala woman with a pen name of "Ocean Blue" put her
love story into a moving novel called "My angel my love" and let people
see the pure world of love and emotions of Lala. The book uses female
gentility and details to paint a picture of love between the same gender.
It was learned that the novel first appeared on the internet in the
second half of this year and attracted quite a lot of attention. It made
its appearance on 12 websites and more than 130 internet media sites and
drew the attention of more than 10 million netizens, spreading at a rate
that was surprisingly fast. China has rarely seen works about lesbian
activity, perhaps because Chinese cultural atmosphere strongly censures
homosexual love or because traditional Chinese culture has unsurpassable
generation gap for intimacy between women.
"My angel my love" is China's fist autobiographical love story by a
lesbian. Its author "Ocean Blue" has become China's first lesbian writer
who dares to shout "True love is guiltless".
