Features: Extremely unique, rich, solid, and dense—only Liu Chun can express the growth of a woman and her experiences and observations. Every person mentioned can be expanded into a book. The calm and ironic tone of the female narrator, combined with the harsh realities she depicts, creates a powerful tension—especially remarkable. It’s a coming-of-age story, yet not quite. The unique female perspective touches on issues of philosophy, sociology, human destiny, and how women live in this world. The arrangement of the text is also meaningful. It has a sense of form. The narrative is filled with detailed textures.
