Title: I didn't really see the point of this story
Review: I didn't really understand this novel. It begins with a dramatic description of a young woman's escape from Tiananmen Square on June 4th, which is dramatic, but then it degenerates into a (tedious) meditation on women and sex. If there was some kind of parallel drawn between the momentous political events and this woman's personal protest against repression, it would be better. But it is too disjointed and never brings the two together. Skip it unless you can get it cheap. Only takes a couple of hours to read.
