Exploring contemporary Chinese society through the lens of historical figures, the narrative juxtaposes Chairman Mao's ideology with modern cultural phenomena, such as the Librairie Avant-Garde bookstore's focus on Western philosophy. It questions the significance of Western consumerism, exemplified by ordering a latte at Starbucks in Beijing, and suggests that Aldous Huxley's works may offer deeper insights into the complexities of post-Tiananmen China and post-9/11 America than Orwell's 1984.
