Black and Red Plum Recipes: Twelve Years of Turmoil in Beijing
by Beauty Turns Into A Big Tree
About This Novel
This is a work about men, full of male hormones, greed, betrayal, promises, affection, true love, deception, human nature, life and death... It depicts the grievances and resentments of four men born in the 1980s as they grow up from 2004 to 2016. They were close friends who grew up together in Beijing's Nancheng Hutong. They were betting crazily in their youth. Some were betting on money, some were betting on their lives, and some were betting on a lifetime of happiness. Four people, like the four suits in playing cards, are closely related but have different destinies.

I also saw how passionate the man was, and how beautiful the beauty was. Gambling on the ups and downs of the sea, the storm is rising, and the black and red plum blossoms are walking together for four!
It's great. In the end, I shouldn't have written this as a story, but I realized it was a story. The heavy mood at the beginning and the ecstasy in reading the book were gone... I hoped to write about the author's personal experience. Finally, I became a novelist, wrote this book, started over, and went to the United States to find her...
Many people missed it when we didn't know how to cherish it.
I walked forward alone, but couldn't help but look back. After a while, I lowered my head, quietly missing your tenderness.
I finished reading it in one breath. All kinds of life, love, hate, and resentment, will eventually return to the ordinary. Ordinaryness is the truth!
to "you"
I cried for a long time after watching it, as if I had experienced everything in the past completely again, only to realize that after all this time, the pain and grievances at that time can still be felt so clearly. I just want to say that although the novel is exaggerated, it is true. I don't know how many people have experienced it, and I don't know how many people will experience it. I just want to say that although the past will eventually pass, what is lost is difficult to regain, so do it and cherish it.
If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.
After reading it, I felt funny and angry. The author put his heart into it. What should the author have experienced? Combining what he saw and heard with the novel, this book is very charming.
Damn it, you just can do it, you know? How the hell do you still have the nerve to be alive? Are you still a human being? That's your wife. She gave you two children. How the hell are you still a man? You can't make enough money to ask your wife to sell her house and car to pay off your debt? I don't like your toughness
This is a very good book
Note (I am not a fan of Miki, I like Miki very much, the following is just my personal opinion and emotion) To be honest, I can see the taste of Give Me a Cigarette, the beginning and ending are similar. It is said to be a story about four men, but in fact it contains too many stories about Qin Xuan. The final endings of Fatty, Ningxia and Ouyang feel like they were passed by in one stroke. Just when the four of them were having fun, the three of them suddenly ended. They were in jail, unconscious and unconscious, and dead. This makes me a little disappointed. Qin Xuan and I are really similar. I remember in 2008, when I was 16 years old, I also had a lot of gambling debts. I didn't dare to tell my parents. At first, my parents just knew that a friend from the same village had gambling debts. Then my dad told me that if I gambled and owed gambling debts, he would beat me to death and treat me as his son. Later, my parents found out that I also owed a lot of money. They paid me back without saying anything harsh or beating me, and then told me not to do this again. It's okay to gamble, but you can't hide it from them, and you can't let them know about the gambling debts you owe others. I knelt down in front of my dad and swore that I would never do anything related to gambling again. It has been almost ten years, and this year is my birth year. I have never gambled money since then, and I will not even look at other people gambling.
Qin Xuan is such a bastard. Yue'er is so good, how can he bear to break her heart again and again. He said that he won't gamble until he wins. In fact, it is just an excuse for his habit of gambling.
