Features: "Miss Shanghai" in the 1940s, once a "canary" for a high-ranking official; has complex and subtle relationships with several men; in her fifties, she engages in a twisted love affair with her daughter's male classmate; ultimately killed by mistake and meets her end. A woman's forty years of love and passion, written with a delicate and brilliant pen, is poignant and full of twists and turns. This Manbo Prize-winning The Longing Song is also the pinnacle work of renowned female writer Wang Anyi.
