Condición: Como nuevo. : En '20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth', Fenfang Wang, de veintiún años, viaja desde su pueblo a la moderna y urbana Beijing en busca de fortuna, sin desear regresar a la monotonía de los campos de batatas. Sin embargo, no está preparada para lo que le espera: un régimen comunista desgastado, una ciudad en constante destrucción y desarrollo improvisado, y una actitud sexista más acorde con su educación campesina que con la capital progresista del país. A pesar de todo, Fenfang está decidida a vivir una vida moderna. Con valentía y determinación, sigue adelante y pronto consigue un trabajo como extra de cine. Mientras interpreta papeles como mujer caminando sobre el puente y camarera limpiando una mesa, Fenfang se enamora de dos jóvenes inadecuados, mantiene su armario lleno de fideos UFO y, tras dominar la fiebre y el tumulto de la ciudad, finalmente encuentra su verdadera independencia en el lugar menos esperado.
