An old city, a young man, some past events, tortured to tears, pure to death.
The author tells various personal stories from childhood to adulthood in a simple and unpretentious tone. "The water of the Yellow River has never been clear. Throughout the year, the turbid water is either stationary or slowly flowing eastward..." This narrative has no embellishments, but it is permeated with market wit and endless irony. This is a dual text that not only displays many aspects of Chinese society, but also shows the author's unique style as a rebellious generation. His personal history and experience merge into the overall memory of the nation. Zhu Dake's comment
This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
