Beijing Doll is a realistic and raw novel about the life of Chun Sue herself, from her fourteenth to her seventeenth year. The setting is cosmopolitan Beijing, where young people find their way in a rapidly changing modern city at the turn of the century. On one hand, there is the desire for freedom, the punk spirit, love, and materialistic satisfaction; on the other, the limitations of a conformist society. It is in this society that young Chun Sue takes her first steps on the sexual path, loses herself in Beijing's nightlife, and is tossed between passion and daily grind, pride and ideals, and the cruelties of adolescence.
