Synopsis

The central theme of this novel lies in its vivid, nostalgic re-creation, through a deeply moving first-person narrative, of the protagonist's joyful childhood and adolescence, and of the early family scenes shared with his parents, brothers, and sisters. It delicately portrays his platonic, innocent love for Sharon and his more worldly, genuine feelings for Jenny.
Meanwhile, the novel explores the protagonist's profound yearning for happiness, his appreciation of nature's beauty and spirituality, and his relentless pursuit of the meaning of life. With a sincere yet witty style, it presents readers with a panoramic yet detailed portrait of mainland China in the latter half of the 20th century-encompassing its political and economic background, its diverse geography, cultural traditions, ethnic customs, and natural scenery.
