7/10
The push-pull of traditional, rural Chinese life and modern, urban life in the early 1980s is the theme of this book, and each life is embodied by a woman Gao Jialin loves—the peasant Qiaozhen and the radio broadcaster Yaping. Jialin fits into each world and each fills certain needs in his soul, just as each woman holds a unique place in his heart. Neither is right or wrong, even for him, and that ambiguity remains at the end of the book.
