Yichang municipality, Hubei province, China, early 1970s. High-school student Jingqiu is one of many educated urban youth sent to the countryside to be re-educated under a dictate from Chairman Mao.

Recenzii
“The stuff of Romeo and Juliet . . . This book should be read.” — Globe and Mail
“Moving.” — Financial Times
“The novel is rewarding for its spare prose and subtle treatment of conflicts, quarrels, racial ambiguities and acts of transcendent heroism woven into the story . . . There are doomed love stories, amid the tragedies, but they are dawn from a deeper well and speak to the persistence of humanity in the grimmest of circumstances.” — The Guardian
