About This Novel
This novel tells the story of a little boy, Ren Chong, from birth to primary school. In the early 1980s, a small riverside county owned a machinery factory. Ren Chong's father was an employee of a machinery factory, so Ren Chong had the opportunity to enter the factory's kindergarten. Although he was playful by nature, Ren Chong still studied hard for self-esteem during elementary school and became a good student. And I have very good friends. As his parents' relationship broke down and they divorced, his father became increasingly depressed. Ren Chong also changed from a good student who aspired to be a scientist to a revengeful man who wanted to make himself worse... This seems to be a coming-of-age novel about gray childhood, cruel life, and single-parent families, but it is not a simple coming-of-age novel. The author intentionally presents the close connection between the childhood world and the adult world. The small circle of children spontaneously practices the rules of the adult world. The writer's pen, in the process of recording the children's growth stories, naturally unfolds the story of the adult world at the same time. The cruelty and changes in the adult world directly affect the turmoil in the children's circle, and even a rumor may cause the rupture of friendship. This story of children is also the story of male parents in the factory...
