This story by acclaimed Chinese comic artist, Benjamin, tells the story of a rock and roll band which ventures forth from the provinces to Beijing to seek fame and fortune. Delightfully dark and gritty, Benjamin's stories are a great balm for a lot of the bubblegum pop culture coming out of China today. This is the story of a feeble Chinese rock band. These rockers have totally different principles of how they live, love and create from western rockers. The main difference about them where their way of life will lead them. Blazing adolescence without any ideal, only chasing money, their hearts completely empty. Apart from them, nobody needs rock music and, despite their fights and struggles, the story inevitably ends as a fiasco.

novel

In China, a young comic artist falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend. This is the first time he betrays a friend and is part of a real love story. This is how the story starts, and by the end, he will be betrayed in turn by friendship and by love, not because of his friends or his lover, but because of the morals or 'hidden rules' of modern society. Here we can see how a guy without any real social status experiences happiness and difficulties, how, in a life without faith or belief, success, as well as the appetite and egoism of independent workers, turn out to be insignificant and vulnerable. In this novel we find different facets of human relationships, warm or closed, and the 'hidden rules' of Chinese society.
