This book is arranged in reverse chronological order superbly, and it's like you are constantly uncovering the answers to a mystery while reading. Like a fairy tale. However, the text looks a bit laborious. Less readable.
The language is very soothing and full of expressiveness, but the aura is not enough after all.
In front of life, we are not only common people, but also evil people.
The village chiefs have changed from generation to generation, but they still cannot get rid of the fate of the villagers dying at the age of 40. What is life like? Why is it so sad?
Food for thought.
Life is pale and powerless in the face of destiny, but yet persevering
People will not bring or take away anything when they come to this world, so what attitude should I live in this world?
This is the tragedy of the times
The suffering of the times is expressed in the form of life flowing away! Very cruel!
