This book is Zhang Ailing's only unpublished novel posthumous manuscript, which has been dusty for more than 20 years, and it is exposed for the first time! It is about the vicissitudes of friendship between two girls, Enjuan and Zhao Jue.The story begins when the two reunite in Shanghai to recount the past.Enjuan married Bian Liwai, a Jew, and later immigrated to Washington, USA. Bian Liwai became the first immigrant to enter the cabinet, while Zhao Jue's situation was not as good as that of Enjuan.Because they reunited many years later, compared to their equal backgrounds back then, the two saw their strengths and weaknesses.Or this is the deep meaning behind the name Jiu-Jiu-Zang-Book-Net a href="/book/2030/index.htm">"Classmates and Teenagers Are Not Cheap".The words are full of Zhang Ailing's consistent sarcasm, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the plot is delicately laid out. In the brisk story rhythm, there is a sense of desolation about the vicissitudes of life.

The explicit display of the sexual psychology of church girls in the 1930s and 1940s and the realistic portrayal of the life choices of overseas intellectuals in the 1950s and 1960s have never appeared in Eileen Chang's previous novels.Undoubtedly, the novel has a certain degree of autobiographical color. At the same time, it also cleverly intersperses plots such as the American leftist female reporter Smedley and the first atomic bomb explosion in China. The daily life of the small and medium-sized characters shapes the unique character and destiny of the heroine, thus giving the novel the significance of the history of fashion and mentality of the times.
