Description
In a small Chinese village where a family’s hopes are measured by the birth of a son, the Wang sisters grow up under pressure, rumor, and the shifting demands of history. When three of them—each with a distinct temperament and strategy for survival—find their lives pulled from village intimacy into the upheavals of the Cultural Revolution and the relentless churn of city life, they begin to fight for something more than acceptance: control over their bodies, choices, and futures. Across betrayals, slogans, and the anonymity of an “infinite ocean of people,” Bi Feiyu traces how ambition, desire, and dignity can both liberate and endanger. Blending sharp social observation with vivid character psychology, this novel offers a sweeping, intimate portrait of contemporary Chinese life and the costs of trying to belong in a world that keeps moving the goalposts.
