This book follows three individuals—a young girl named Ju Xiu, a doctor named Zhou Quan, and an elderly man named Bai John—as they tirelessly navigate the dry yet humid city of Beijing, struggling with the costs of surgery, the entanglements of desire, and the pursuit of memories. Each is like a pebble thrown into the city, stirring up ripples of past and present, pain and solace, engulfing those around them, causing them to collide and influence each other. They all possess passion and the imagination to fuel it, yet they all fear the uncontrollable consequences of passion addiction. They live introspectively, hoping to transcend the powerful shadow cast by death and move towards a new life. No matter what hardships we endure, we must always maintain a passion for life. This work is not only a reflection of reality but also a resonance of the human heart.
本书少女桔秀、博士周全、老人白约翰，他们三个人，或者为手术的费用，或者为欲望的纠缠，或者为记忆的追击，在干燥又潮湿的北京奔走不休。他们每个人都是投入城市里的石子，带动着往时与今日、创痛与慰藉，激起一圈圈的涟漪，裹挟着周围的人，互相碰撞、遥相影响。他们都身负激情与对激情的想象，他们都惧怕激情成瘾所引发的不可收拾境地，他们自省地活着，期望能穿越死亡强力施加的阴影，走向新的生活。不论我们正在经受什么磨难，始终要对生活充满激情。这部作品不仅是现实生活的反映，更是人心的共振。
