Two young women struggling to find their way in Beijing promise to spend a hundred dusks together. From roadside barbecue stalls and wandering through hutongs to sitting quietly by the lake, they roam every corner of the city, accepting each other’s exhaustion, grievances, and anxiety. Twenty days of feeling lost, forty-five days of clashing, seventy days of finding their footing, until at last, after a hundred days, their hearts are at peace. There is no dramatic salvation, only the small, everyday moments of being there for each other. Their aimless walks and unspoken worries may look like wasted time, but they are really part of two young people making peace with themselves. This is a gentle, healing account of growing up, dedicated to everyone struggling to find their place in the city.
