Features: She began her literary awakening with Lu Youqing. Ge Fei called her Jing Hong. This book includes her university life, campus girl letters, 14 years from immortal to mortal, and a 20-year class reunion. She wrote, "20 years of campus reflection, love hidden and revealed." A very popular song in the 1980s titled "Meet Again After 20 Years" went like this: "After 20 more years, we'll meet again." She graduated from university in 1985, and this year is 2005, exactly 20 years. This book is dedicated to these 20 years, the 20 years of one person, the 20 years of a generation of university students, and the 20 years of an era. Shanghai Girls is a case study, but also a common one, reflecting the early batch of university students after the Cultural Revolution ended and the college entrance exams were restored. They are the 1960s-born, 1980s-graduated university students who are now pillars in various work units. They were awakened to literature and literature in the 1980s, when thoughts were in confusion. They received elite cultural education, worried about the country, the people, and life. When they first entered society, they were unexpectedly plunged into the daily struggles of life—joy, sorrow, anger, and happiness. They also encountered the tide of commodity economy in the 1990s. In the dazzling colors of the new century, they had to run hard to avoid falling behind. Her life's text is a case study of a generation of university students, a cultural psychological record of a 1960s-born person, and an important part of contemporary social psychology, as well as a cultural transmission between generations. Shanghai Girls also emphasizes the "her" character, closely reflecting the changes, richness, and attention a woman receives from her 20s to her 40s. This book is divided into seven sections: Her University, Her Spiritual Starting Point, Her Rose Season, Her Angelic Radiance, and Her Feminist Views. The main content includes Campus Girl Letters; 14 Years from Immortal to Mortal; Reading Life's Messages; and a 25,000-word Long March of Love.
