About This Novel
Outside the train station, there are crowds of Beipiao people who stay overnight in the square. They come to Beijing to make money and want to live a good life; there are a group of young people who have just got off work at the roadside stalls. They eat Malatang, drink Yanjing beer, and are full of imagination about the future; in the rental house, there are old people who come to visit their sons. They have left their hometown where they have lived for half their lives and relearn how to integrate into city life;... We have experienced unspeakable embarrassment in Beijing, and we have also experienced the most shining moments in life. The reasons that once made me drift to Beijing are still my pursuits.
