When he was sixteen, Li Wangwan fled to a strange city with an old backpack and a broken heart. At dawn here, there is no rooster crow in my hometown, only the neon lights that stay on all night long. She huddled under the lights of convenience stores, walked through the cold subway lines, and looked up at the cut sky in the gaps between skyscrapers. Her name is Wang Wan, but she is stubbornly looking for her own star in this reinforced concrete forest. This is a lonely rite of passage. Tears and sweat are the nutrients for her growth; setbacks and cold looks make her stronger. From youthful to calm, from nothing to sparkling - she measured the world with her own steps, and personally transformed the confused night into the brightest star path.
Reader comments
"Who Looks at the Evening Star at Dawn" is a touching urban growth story. Li Wangwan left home at the age of sixteen and grew up step by step from a nanny, a night school student, and a director of the elderly care industry in a strange city, as if he was looking for his own starlight in a forest of steel bars. The novel delicately depicts her hardships, workplace undercurrents and emotional entanglements along the way, especially the complex emotions of her reunion with Fan Jingxing ten years later. It closely interweaves the history of personal struggle with the age-related pension issues, and explores the true meaning of growth, dignity and love. The writing is warm and powerful, making people believe that there will be stars in the dark night.
The whole book is really good, and I read it all the way to the scene. Come on, author
