Features: Over the years in China, Li Sha has described the country's life and changes through a vast amount of writing. This book is only a basic part of it, depicting the emotional journey between a foreign female teacher and a Chinese male student. The story takes place at a university in Beijing in the early 1990s. Their love should have been natural and happy, but due to cultural differences, the story's ending becomes a heartbreaking tragedy. The author's intention is not merely to narrate a love story, but to use this story to describe life in China and the deep conflict between two different cultures, thereby helping the world understand China more objectively. The author accurately captures the psychological conflicts of young Chinese people in that era in this book.
