This controversial new novel is a big, spirited comedy of society running amok in modern China - told through the story of two brothers in a brand new capitalist world. Baldy Li is a girl-crazy, teenage ne'er-do-well; his stepbrother is bookish and compassionate. Despite their differences, they've vowed always to be close. Both, however, love the same girl. While Baldy Li schemes to win her heart, she falls in love with his more respectable brother. As years pass, the brothers struggle to maintain ties as the world around them changes almost beyond recognition.
