About This Novel
"The Gilded Age" is a 160,000-word coming-of-age novel about studying abroad. It tells the story of a group of young people studying in the United States and attending prestigious Ivy League schools. The heroine Sima Jin went to the United States to study at the age of 17. Facing independent life in a foreign country, on the one hand she had the freedom to get rid of her parents' discipline, and on the other hand she faced the difficulties in the new environment. She is naive, simple and idealistic. She is nostalgic for Chinese classical culture and longs for a cross-cultural perspective. The male protagonist Bai Ju is kind, arrogant, smart, and unruly, but at the same time he is gentle, pessimistic, and willful. Two people with very different styles met at W Business School and began a love affair that was like a chemical reaction. Sima Jin experienced ideological growth, disillusionment, integration, and regeneration in the ivory tower. Finally, with Bai Ju's encouragement, he bravely got rid of the burden of being a good girl, traveled alone in Africa, and pursued freedom. The overseas study circle is a microcosm of all classes in the country, and prestigious schools are a collection of various "second generations". A business school where elites gather, young and wealthy international students, and a humorous and sarcastic financial circle. The author combines his experiences and experiences of studying abroad for many years into a work full of true feelings and passion, describing a kaleidoscope-like world of studying abroad.
