Features: This book is a metaphysical novel about the body and bodily behavior, narrating the life stories of two male homosexual young beauties, Xiao Mao and the older man Ye Hongche, in a poetic and mournful language. Their lives are peaceful yet filled with suffering. This male world also includes A, B, and C, who are deeply in love with Xiao Mao and Ye Hongche. This book subverts the traditional classic love story patterns in literature and challenges the conventional narrative of male coming-of-age stories. It breaks the long silence in modern and contemporary Chinese literature regarding the portrayal of homosexuality in novels.
