Features: If your youth is a journey of loneliness, this book will tell you that melancholy, self-blame, or even fear may not be entirely your fault. If you need help but find it difficult to confide in your parents, leave this book on their bedside, letting them know how to love you. If your classmate needs help, place this book on their desk, and they will look at you with admiration. If you realize that your teacher is also lost, discreetly leave this book in their drawer, giving them a chance to prove their sincere concern for you. The Bitter Sweet Years is a guide for parents and educators to conduct comprehensive sex education. As a psychological counselor specializing in adolescent sex education, Deng Jun combines insights from sex psychology and personality psychology in her simple yet natural narration, sharing her reflections on sex education. The book offers both knowledge and advocacy. The writing delves deeply into sensitive topics, such as incestuous behavior between mothers and sons, or fathers and daughters. This issue remains largely unaddressed in Chinese society—it’s a dark curtain yet to be lifted. No one has ever discussed it openly or seriously, yet the reality persists. Therefore, I believe the book’s strength lies in its ability to more powerfully advance sex education in China. It reveals the complexity of China’s sexual issues from a profound level, compelling people to confront and reflect on them!
