Seventeen-year-old Ming and twenty-four-year-old Yan have very little in common: Ming, innocent and preoccupied, lives in a world of books, music and imagination; Yan, by contrast, is sexy and cynical, beautiful and wild, and not afraid to use her looks to get what she wants from the many men in her life.
