A very enjoyable book about a Chinese girl runnin away from the small village she grew up in. Tryin her luck as an actress in Beijing and her constant struggle with life are very interesting and moving. Throughout the whole book she is fighting against the main chinese mentality of "just working for the community" and trying to find her own individual identity. For someone interested in what goes on in the young generations chinese minds a very fascinating book. And for any foreigner living in China very helpful to help Understanding the Young Chinese cutlure!
