Features: 1970s literary talent. A master from outside the literary world suddenly emerges! Recommended by Li Jingze, Bai Ye, Chen Xiaoming, Zhang Yiwu, Wang Yao, He Shaojun, Zhang Zhizhong, Fu Yue'an, Chen Cun, and Huang Jiwei! Feng Tang's novels are both innocent and cunning. His wild talent, innocent heart, and even his mischievous nature all leave a strong impression. He is determined to corner his many peers in the literary world, forge a new path, and tighten the "malicious" slingshot he handmade with memories of youth, piercing the barriers of time and oblivion.
The title "Give Me a Girl at 18" comes from a lyric by Cui Jian, and it centers on the author Feng Tang's youthful experiences at 17 and 18, depicting the unique coming-of-age story of those born in the 1970s. Feng Tang states that both the form and content of literature can transcend time and space. "I firmly believe that in a fast-paced, society, literature can still warm people's hearts," he says. It is his belief that "literature can warm the heart" that has always driven his desire to write. "I hope to observe and record some aspects of this era in my own way. This is why I have been writing in my spare time."
Before moving into this prefabricated building, I had already heard the old rogue Kong Jianguo talk about Zhu Chang's mother. The old rogue Kong Jianguo said Zhu Chang's mother was a peerless beauty. The first time I met Zhu Chang, I made up my mind to do whatever it took to spend my life with her.
Seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boys don’t have a sense of time. A lifetime means forever to them. If my hands caressed Zhu Chang’s hair and I couldn’t stand tall, then I would truly be old. But if I was sincere, without truly holding her or touching her, her spirit was far away, yet my hands, filled with memories, reached into the void, stroking the air, and she was in my arms, her hair between my fingers. In an instant, I stood tall, my true yang energy abundant, my fate endless. I took a deep breath and could float my head like a balloon into the sky, my body sprawled.
Compared to Feng Tang's previous novel The Growth of Everything, Give Me a Girl at 18 can be seen as its prequel. Both protagonists are called Qiushui. The Growth of Everything depicts university life, while Give Me a Girl at 18 narrates the love story of a high school student. It records the author's first encounters with violence and sexuality in Beijing in the early 1980s.
