Features: At a young age, Mao Ciyin committed a "sexual transgression," which led to his eccentric, coarse, and bizarre personality in adulthood, as well as his obsessive and fanatical behavior. He engages in an endless, soul-crushing, and body-piercing love affair with Mo Mo, a jobless young woman with a similar temperament. He also navigates a convoluted and ambiguous interaction with hidden societal norms and wields a morally ambiguous struggle against obvious authoritarian forces. Later, with the help of university students like Yi Yang, he begins to choose a new direction in life. At this very moment, he stumbles upon the "culprit" responsible for his past life's mistakes in a casual conversation with others. Consequently, he falls into despair again, losing his way both spiritually and materially.
The story unfolds through "self-narration" and "white portrayal," with a witty and humorous language style that delves into profound and solemn themes. It reveals how societal negative factors distort the psychology and behavior of young people, and suggests how youth should face reality, overcome setbacks, and assert their life's stance with an optimistic attitude and proactive actions to realize their life's value in today's transitional society.
