About This Novel
[Social Survival + Marriage Emotions + Career Struggle] This is a history of life struggles of those born in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a history of social changes in the past two decades. The relationship between classmates is the most basic social relationship for most people, and it is also the most unspeakable human relationship. This book takes the social and human network of contemporary China as its thread, and truly lays out the Chinese-style relationship scenes where real society and human relationships are intertwined. The lovers Zhou Nian and Li Yiman, as well as their school or university classmates such as Gu Pingfan, Chen Yingxue, Deng Dawei, Chi Yan, Tang Xiaobei, Hu Yaxin, etc., Together form a simple yet complex social network in this book. After they stepped out of the ivory tower, they each embarked on a different life path and experienced different life encounters. Zhou Nian started out as a grassroots civil servant in a county party committee. He experienced workplace games and machinations. After his official career failed, he went into business. He and Li Yiman traveled to Changsha, Shenzhen, Jingdezhen and other places. They struggled between the difficulties of family, the protection of love, and the importance of survival, and realized the way of life and the way of dealing with the world. Gu Pingfan is working on a relationship in the "Gaoxi Ancient Village" development project. A dinner party hides a subtle relationship, and a phone call affects the fate. Although he successfully won the bid, he ultimately failed in money. Chi Yan and Deng Dawei struggle between interests and morality, and they also truthfully outline the hardships of survival for the people at the bottom and the fragile fate of ordinary people under the real estate bubble... Their lives are our lives. As we walk, we grow old; as we walk, many people disperse. I hope that when we come back, we will still be the same young people we were before. May we think of the word "classmate" as warmly as before.
