Adolescent Syndrome
Girl Syndrome focuses on the psychological dilemmas and identity anxieties of contemporary women during their formative years. "Girl Syndrome" is not a medical disease, but rather a hidden and pervasive psychological state-a fear of growing up, a doubt about self-worth, and an inner imbalance caused by the constant tug-of-war between societal pressures and emotional expectations.
Through fragments of several women's lives, the novel depicts their struggles in their academic, professional, intimate, and family roles: some are unable to move forward due to their yearning for recognition; some gradually lose themselves in emotional dependence; and others constantly negate themselves under the societal gaze of "whom they should become."
Beneath the seemingly gentle narrative lies a sober examination of gender expectations, emotional discipline, and the social evaluation system. Girl Syndrome, with its restrained yet sharp prose, reveals that growing up is not a straight line, but a process of repeated stumbles and constant self-reflection.
