Book Description
The past fills me with deep emotion. I recall the evening Miao Yan and I first talked. The details return with such vividness that it seems as if I am watching a video of it – the low-hanging moon, the whitish cement ground, Miao Yan’s glittering eyes, her fluttering blouse, the way she lit her cigarette and exhaled the smoke. It is all imprinted on my memory and can never be removed.
Seventeen-year-old Ming and twenty-four-year-old Yan have very little in common other than studying in the same college. Ming, innocent and preoccupied, lives in her own world of books, music and imagination. Yan is, by contrast, sexy but cynical, beautiful but wild. She uses her looks to get what she wants from the many men in her life.
When the two girls meet, and become best friends, Ming’s world is changed forever. She is attracted to Yan’s free-spirit, while Yan yearns for the kind of stability Ming’s seriousness can bring. But their differences in upbringing and ideologies ultimately driven them apart, leaving each to face her own dark secret alone.
Narrated by an adult Ming, February Flowers is a finely wrought coming-of-age novel, and the story of a bond between two very different girls in modern China. It is a meditation on forbidden love, loss and redemption, and how a background shapes a life.

评分读过两遍这本书，内容很生动，很惊讶这本书居然写出了1990年时候的广州大学生的开放的心态！英文版的会比读中文版的更有意思~
评分初读这本书是两年前的炎炎夏日，在外教家邂逅这本小说。被它的名字以及封面所深深吸引。 封底有作者的照片，长长的黑色直发，散发着的浓郁现代气息却掩饰不了她眉心的一丝忧郁与敏感。 故事说起来不复杂。 两个女孩，相遇，相知，最后相离。然后开始新一段找寻的旅程。 她们拥...

只能说英语水平好高啊，真的做到了像native speaker 那样去讲述。故事也值得一看，还是想说，英语好棒，值得学习。

评分如果不因为是英文版的，实在看不下去。文字倒老实，文风太老套。——太土了。太文青了。太八十年代了。
