《饕餮青春的二十个瞬间》
In 20 Fragments Of A Ravenous Youth, the capital is Beijing - not Paris - but the provinces, those places that exist to be escaped from, are much the same and so are "all those shiny things in life" that bring the escapees flocking to the centre, seeking fame, fortune and the chance to be someone new。《饕餮青春的二十个瞬间》一书中的故事发生在北京而不是巴黎。“生命中所有闪光的东西”将漂流族带入北京、巴黎这样的中心城市，人们都想逃离其他省份涌入这里寻求名望、财富以及蜕变的机会。
The escapee in 20 Fragments is its narrator, Fenfang, her slightly delayed youth a period she dates not from her flight from the "vast, silent fields" of her home in Western China but from the day she filled in a form for work as an extra at the Beijing Film Studios。《饕餮青春的二十个瞬间》里的北漂族主角是自述者芬芳，她将自己的青春期稍稍延迟，不是从离开中国西部“广袤宁静”的家乡开始，而是从她进入北京电影制片厂当临时演员开始。
"My youth began when I was 21," she writes as the novel begins, "at least, that's when I decided it began ... If you think 21 sounds a bit late to start, just think about the average dumb Chinese peasant, who leaps straight from childhood to middle age with nothing in between. If I was going to miss anything out, it was middle age. Be young or die. That was my plan."“我的青春开始于21岁”，芬芳在小说开头写道，“至少我个人决定这么算……如果你觉得21岁听起来有点晚，那就想想中国普通的无知农民们，他们都是直接从童年期跳跃至中年期，中间没有缓冲。如果我有想错过的时期的话，那么应该是中年期。年轻或死去，这就是我的计划。”
