The story of Tu Ziqiang follows a young man’s college days and his first menial jobs. In simple, powerful prose, the author traces his futile efforts to rise above his poor, rural upbringing and his inevitable and tragic end. The book echoes the younger generation’s plight in a fast-developing society with little promise, bringing to light unspoken problems of the group. Critic Han Jingqun says the story is strong enough to make a grown man cry.
