Told in the voice of a young man who came to Beijing seeking work, this story recounts the strange encounters he experienced there, his struggles and ambitions, and his tangled relationships with several women. It vividly portrays the helplessness of an individual swept along by the tides of the times, the aspirations of a pure idealist, and how he learns to accept reality and face his fate. The author's writing is rigorous and down-to-earth, yet also full of humor and wit. I hope readers will give the story their support and share their feedback. Your support is my greatest motivation to keep writing!
