Synopsis：

Give Me a Girl at AgeEighteenis a coming-of-age story set in Beijing in the late eighties and earlynineties. The narrator, Qiushui, is a silver-tongued teenage boy whose oneconstant goal throughout the tumult of puberty is to win the heart of ZhuShang, a guitar-strumming classmate who is the most beautiful girl he's everseen.

Give Me a Girl at Age Eighteen resembles J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.Despite having different historical and political contexts, these two bookscomplement each other as they draw upon the universal theme of sexual awakeningand discuss the similar concepts of loss of childhood innocence and shelteredlife, and the bitter introduction of the harsher yet more exciting world ofadulthood.
