[A Bricklayer's Tale, from Chapter 54 onward] [A Memoir of Growing Up, before Chapter 54] [No golden finger, just a history of blood, sweat, and tears. I'm no heartthrob. I just want to be a nobody.

Ten years adrift in Beijing, falling into one trap after another, through one absurd episode after the next, switching back and forth between putting on airs and being genuinely impressive.
