Written by one of the most celebrated Chinese young adults literature writers, Cao Wenxuan, this novel depicts a story of a boy named Sang Sang encountering his first experiences of love, age, illness and death during his six memorable years of elementary school in Cultural Revolution. At the end of this heart-warming story, he gets a new understanding of life and death. The book has won numerous awards and has been adapted to a hit movie of the same title.

这是一部讲究品位的少年长篇小说。作品写了男孩桑桑刻骨铭心，终身难忘的六年小学生活。六年中，他亲眼目睹或直接参与了一连串看似寻常但又催人泪下、撼动人心的故事：少男少女之间毫无瑕疵的纯情，不幸少年与厄运相拼时的悲怆与优雅，残疾男孩对尊严的执著坚守，垂暮老人在最后一瞬所闪耀的人格光彩，在死亡体验中对生命的深切而优美的领悟，大人们之间扑朔迷离且又充满诗情画意的情感纠葛……这一切，既清楚又朦胧地展现在少年桑桑的世界里。这六年，是他接受人生启蒙教育的六年。
作品格调高雅，由始至终充满美感。叙述风格谐趣而又庄重，整体结构独特而又新颖，情节设计曲折而又智慧。荡漾于全部作品的悲悯情怀，在人与人之间的关系日趋疏远、情感日趋淡漠的当今世界中，也显得弥足珍贵、格外感人。通篇叙述既明白晓畅，又有一定的深度，是那种既是孩子喜爱也可供成人阅读的儿童文学作品。
