Fu, Jieming (2017)
Abstract
Shortly after graduating from college, Shiyan Jia returns to Northern California to nurse his dying mother. As Shiyan reconnects with his hometown friends, he reflects on his complicated friendship with Daniel Zheng, a deceased friend who played a pivotal role in his life during his senior year of high school. Interwoven with references to Chinese literature and mythology, this novella explores the academic and social pressures faced by adolescents and young adults in upper-class suburbs of Silicon Valley, a group that has received extensive media coverage for an unprecedented rise in occurrences of mental illness and suicide attempts - as well as general contemporary Chinese-American life in the Bay Area.
