"For me, an ordinary Chinese student from an ordinary family and an ordinary school, the pain of youth is not about flamboyant love triangles, bands, abortions, car accidents and street sex. They are all things outside the band, and the pain is not the point.
What really hurts is obesity in adolescence, the sweat under the armpits in physical education class, spring outings where we can't make a team, lunches where we can't find a partner, test papers that we dare not hand to our parents, late at night when we secretly guess computer passwords, and unintentional humiliating words from the class teacher.
Even the pain is cowardly, embarrassing, and ugly, shrinking within a narrow band and fermenting into secret hatred for the rest of my life. "
