Little Chinese girl Zhou Wei lives with her mother, Chen Xianglan, in a concrete high-rise building. The girl's father disappeared almost immediately after her birth, and Chen Xianglan, overcome with despair, blames her daughter for everything, selfishly reveling in her own suffering. Zhou Wei grows up quiet, secretive, and extremely obedient, passing through a succession of "educators"—numerous relatives, classmates, and sophisticated friends—to ultimately end up almost exactly like her mother.

Tragic, sensual, and painfully honest, this novel amazes with its figurative language and the richness of its interwoven metaphors. Chinese readers have praised Kong Kong's artistic style, particularly praising the rich prose and vivid characterizations. Now it's our turn to discover a vibrant new young voice in contemporary Chinese literature.
