Features: The author is a college student from a different city who came to Beijing a few years ago to explore life and has remained single to this day. The female protagonist in the novel shares a similar background. This girl, named "Xiao Qing," works in a local government agency after graduating from university, later moves to a city in the south to work, and once meets a "rock music enthusiast." Soon after, "Xiao Qing" receives a letter from this "rock music enthusiast" from Beijing, in which he describes the capital as a beautiful and hopeful city and invites her to come to Beijing. Xiao Qing arrives in Beijing and feels extremely excited the moment she steps off the Beijing Railway Station. The road in front of the station is several times wider than any road she has ever seen, and she encounters the densest crowds she has ever witnessed in her life. Xiao Qing immediately reflects, "Such a great place, how did I not know about it before? Everyone says Beijing is hard to make it in, but it depends on who is trying to make it!" Next comes Xiao Qing's "struggle" in Beijing, as she transitions from an idealistic, passionate, and innocent girl to someone who experiences various disillusioning, disappointing, and complex things.
