"Ce roman a pour cadre la ville de Shanghai. Il dépeint en trois actes la vie d'une femme, Wang Qiyao, au nom évocateur, Pur jade. Ancienne reine de beauté, partageant une passion cachée avec un notable politique, elle doit devenir anonyme alors que la révolution culturelle s'installe. Au début des années 1980, elle tente de rattraper les jours enfuis."
"The Song of Everlasting Sorrow tells the story of Wang Qiyao, a minor celebrity of the pre-1949 Shanghai elite, whose brief brush with fame changes the force and trajectory of her life. The novel is divided into three parts, each one representing a "break" historically and politically in the changing course of the Chinese nation. Part I chronicles our heroine's brief moment in the limelight, her doomed love affair with a powerful government official, and the two girlhood friends who will set the tone for how Qiyao will conduct her friendships throughout her adulthood. Part II tells of Qiyao's life duringthe long, quiet years of closed Communist rule, when Shanghai's decadence was shuttered away, the lights dimmed. Part III starts after the Cultural Revolution and we see an aged Qiyao, surviving through China's dizzying economic growth and the massive changes to the nature of Chinese society."
