Yeah, my brother Xi recommended it. Yeah, it's pretty good. I seem to like reading Qian Xi's books written by Keigo Higashino, but they're well written. I also like suspense.
Because Qian Xi recommended it, I came to see it. It's quite nice.
The key is that this was recommended by Wang Junkai

Life is the inheritance of love
Takumi is only twenty-three years old and has just graduated from college. However, he did not enter college in high school. Instead, he has been wandering around in various jobs. He kept changing jobs, and few jobs lasted more than half a year. All jobs had one thing in common, that is, this job was not suitable for him. Either the position was not good, or the colleague was not good. Rather than saying it's not suitable for him, it's better to say he doesn't want to do it. He often fantasizes that he can make a fortune or do big things, and likes to take advantage of others, but never takes action. Isn't this a typical opportunistic person who has high ambitions but low ambitions? Dreams always wake up suddenly, like bubbles that blow bigger and bigger, and finally burst, leaving nothing but emptiness. Without something established down-to-earth, there can be no spiritual and material support. Takumi was at a loss about his future. When he really needed to implement what he should do, he felt depressed and simply stopped thinking about it. This completely formed a vicious cycle. A large part of the reason for this situation is that he was abandoned by his biological mother Tojo Sumiko when he was a child and lived in the home of his adoptive parents. Takumi has never been able to let go of this. This has also become Takumi's shadow. He cannot feel the responsibility and obligation, and gradually becomes self-defeating or self-pity. Under this situation, his girlfriend Chizuru did not dislike him and took great care of him. She even used her connections to find a job for Takumi, making her the best girlfriend. Ke Tuo was just a pile of mud and couldn't hold up the wall. He rejected the job before he even went there and planned to make up a set of grand reasons to get rid of it. Just when he was reporting to Qianhe, he found that he suddenly left without saying goodbye. Takumi initially wondered whether he ran away in frustration because of the interview questions, but unexpectedly found that several groups of people were looking for Chizuru. He suspected that he might be involved in a conspiracy, so he joined hands with Tokio, whom he met while playing basketball in Hanayashiki, to launch an investigation. The two of them went to Osaka to look for Chizuru's friend Takemi, hoping to learn more about Chizuru from her. They also knew that Chizuru was with a man Okabe. After several inquiries, they finally found Chizuru's figure. At this critical moment, Chizuru was kidnapped and put into a car. Tokio and others also understood that what the other party really wanted was Okabe, and quickly captured Okabe in order to exchange for Chizuru, and finally resolved the problem peacefully through negotiation. The beginning and end of the story is actually corporate smuggling, and Okabe is also the most important witness. Naturally, he is also the target of competition between the police and company executives. Chizuru's involvement can only be said to be a coincidence, but from another perspective, Takumi's inaction at work made Chizuru feel disappointed. It seemed that all the efforts were taken for granted, and the relationship ended since then, so she chose Okabe. At that time, Takumi also wanted to do it again, but he was afraid that the other party would not accept it. He couldn't help but wonder, could a do-over really avoid the mistakes he had made in the past? Maybe they will do the same thing again because of the same problem, so it is better to let it all go with the wind. Along the way, Takumi was surprised who Shisheng was. Why do you know yourself so well? Can it stimulate the weakest part of his heart? Shi Sheng's words and deeds always make him wake up in some aspects. Tokio also confessed that he was Takumi's future son. Due to some kind of opportunity, Tokio returned to the present. Tokio's arrival awakened the numb Takumi and made him understand what it means to grow up. At the same time, he also let go of the past. This trip to Osaka can be regarded as a journey of spiritual healing. Tokio handed Takumi a meaningful letter. In the letter, Sumiko apologized to Takumi, and she also confessed that she had no choice but to abandon him in the first place. There was really no other way, with low income and insufficient milk. She could not support Takumi well by herself. Like a candle in the wind, it was in danger of being extinguished at any time. Life is the inheritance of love. Be sure that the person you like can live well. Even in the face of death, you can see the future. For Sumiko, Takumi is the future, and life is also Takumi's future. People will feel the future no matter when they are. No matter how short a moment it is, as long as there is a feeling of being alive, there is a future. The future is not just tomorrow, the future is in people's hearts. As long as there is a future in their hearts, people can be happy. Takumi also understood that there is no such thing as easy in adult life, and began to understand everything his mother had done for him. For Sumiko and Tokio, for the inheritance of love, to inherit the past, and to face the future, he began to change himself and work hard to adapt to work. Having said that, time-travel memes are also a bit cliché. There are too many excellent time-travel movies such as Back to the Future, 12 Monkeys, The Terminator, The Butterfly Effect, etc., But they mainly rely on warmth to impress people. When Tokio returned to the past, he not only helped his father, but also went out of his way to rescue his mother. He did not hold a grudge against Takumi because of his lost life, but was grateful. It was a blessing to be born in this world. Takumi gives life to Tokio, and Toki gives Takumi a new life. The whole process can be said to be a Möbius strip, the head is the tail, and the tail is the head. So which came first, the chicken or the egg? Did Shisheng change Takumi first, or did Takumi create Shisheng first? Maybe we don't need to be serious. Just because we are traveling through time, everything seems accidental, but it is also inevitable. Perhaps there was a man named Shi Sheng in the past who had a little influence on Takumi when he was young. He treated him as his own son to alleviate the pain caused by the loss of his son. The future we once murmured to ourselves is our present. The past that we remember in the future is the past that we cannot go back to.
"Tokio, I'll wait for you at Hanayashiki." While I was crying, I felt that something in my heart had been quietly changed. The stories written by Keigo Higashino revealed a little warmth in the pathos, allowing people to believe in the beauty of life after seeing the essence of human nature. Keigo Higashino, the master sculptor of human nature!

So well written. Our lives are all in our own hands. It is undeniable that the environment and family will have a vital impact on us, but the real decision-making power always lies with us. There is no born loser. The happiness or misery of life all depends on your own thoughts. Blindly asking for things is a child's behavior. When you grow up, you can't always think about what others can give you. Life is not easy for everyone. It is natural not to give to you. Since you feel that you are so great, you should think more about what you can give to others.
The author said in an interview the purpose of writing this book: "At my age, all my friends around me have children. When asked about the reasons for giving birth to children, everyone's answer is "let nature take its course". But what I want to know more is whether they can confidently ask in front of their children: "Are you happy to be our child?" "Whether the child will reply "I am very lucky to have parents like you" is actually an eternal mystery. I have always wanted to solve this mystery. This is the source of "Shisheng". - Excerpted from the Internet!
