Features: Driven by a romantic idea, the curious young Cherry and her boyfriend He Jiabei came to Beijing together, starting their arduous "Beijing" life. Cherry is an urban woman who oscillates between ideals and reality. She is steadfast but not firm, idealistic yet contradictory. She pursues happiness but is unclear about what happiness truly is; she clings to love, but due to her inner conflicts, she ultimately destroys her own great love. This book is written in the first-person narrative form, depicting the different experiences of several pairs of characters to authentically portray the struggles and vacillations of contemporary women facing love, friendship, money, and material desires. It tells the story of love's persistence and betrayal in the city; the pursuit and loss of happiness; and the decline and salvation of the self. The work is close to reality, clearly distinguishing between love and hatred, with a tight plot, vivid characters, and a focus on psychological portrayal and the of scenes.
