About This Novel
A group of educated youths from a foreign land, who were taught by their parents to identify themselves as Shanghainese since childhood, but when they actually came to Shanghai, they found that they were treated as outsiders. The harder they tried to integrate into Shanghai, the more alienated and excluded they felt. The various obstacles they faced when entering society after graduating from college and the difficulties of establishing a foothold in Shanghai also made them even more confused. Parents living in Nancheng did not understand their children's struggles and only urged them to stay in Shanghai through marriage, work, etc., And then pick them up so that they could return to their hometown after more than 20 years of absence. They had just graduated and started working. In Shanghai, a fast-paced and high-cost city, they had no ability to establish themselves in a short time. When they took their parents back to Shanghai, their wishes were gone. The ups and downs and twists and turns of conflicts between the two generations, as well as the emotional entanglements of friendship and love between young people, are intertwined into scenes of tear-jerking drama.
