About this book

Two city youths arrive in a mountain village, where the narrator's violin attracts suspicion from the headman and the gathered residents. Luo must find a politically acceptable explanation for the music his friend plays. The opening of this coming-of-age novel places their friendship and cultural knowledge within a community where Western art is treated with hostility.
