The monodrama Bonjour, Tristesse is an creative attempt to adapt and reconstruct the novel written by the French writer, Francoise Sagan, of the same name. In 1954, a bold 18-year-old girl wrote the so-called "immoral novel", which unfolded every aspect of one's youth in a simple language. With the sales record of 84 million books, this novel not only shocked French literary circle, but affected a whole French generation. Because of this novel, Sagan also became a youth icon in her time. MENG Jinghui's version of Bonjour, Tristesse has unfolded the girl's sadness from the perspective of avant-garde aesthetics. He amplifies the protagonist's complex psychological activities in a humorous and grotesque way, striving to reveal the rebellion of youth and the cruelty of love in the original work.
