"Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight" - A Striving Youth Sinking in a City of Desires

"Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight" is a free-to-download e-book that introduces us to an ordinary person, Chen Chong. He is a young urbanite who is succumbing to the temptations of life but refuses to fully give in, and an idealist who searches for beauty amidst filth. As his body becomes deeply entangled in a city rampant with material desires, his soul continues to yearn for the innocence and ideals he had before his fall. He indulges in worldly pleasures, lives recklessly, and chases money by any means necessary; he loves his wife, yet expresses this love by being intimate with other women... In the end, on a Christmas Eve street in Chengdu, Chen Chong passes away after much suffering. His dying gaze lingers over the city, looking at every living soul below, including you and me.
