Summary
They meet in Beijing, at the Lan conservatory. Lan Zhan plays cello, and Wei Ying plays flute. Lan Zhan is already famous, famously enigmatic; is a strange creature who haunts the practice rooms, a retreating back, long hair seen flicking from the corner of the eye as he does a sharp about-turn to avoid company. I’m going to be his friend, Wei Ying says. Just watch. By the end of the first week, Lan Zhan has called Wei Ying careless, which is the worst thing he can think of, and Wei Ying has called Lan Zhan both the most conventional kind of genius and no fun at all, which are the worst things he can think of, and they’re doing pretty much everything together anyway.
And the rest, Wei Ying says to Wen Qing with false cheer, a decade later and eight thousand kilometres further west, after his career has gone to shit, is politics!
Or: two lives lived as balancing acts, between truth and security.
