About This Novel
One of my favorite albums in 1999 was "Rock and Roll on the New Long March". I stuck this tape into my Walkman and played it on loop until the battery died. If a colleague or a villager who occasionally visits me asks me what I listen to, I will answer cautiously and obediently: "Look at the girl opposite." No one knows how the music in my headphones is overwhelming and noisy, and certainly no one knows that my heart is screaming at the same speed - death - rebirth. "I used to ask endlessly/When will you leave me/But you always laughed at me/I have nothing/I want to give you my pursuit/And my freedom/But you always laughed at me/I have nothing..." This song once made me cry for a long time. To this day, I still believe that "Nothing" is the ever-insurmountable Mount Everest in Chinese rock music, and Cui Jian is Tsangyang Gyatso, the living Buddha poet who is half human and half god, under the sacred mountain.
