About This Novel
This set contains 7 volumes: "Kim Ji-young Born in 1982", "The Summer When General Winter Came", "Your Children Are Not Your Children", "Shoplifters", "The Mystery of Corpse Manor", "The Biography of Zeng Guofan", and "Bear Town". "Kim Ji Young Born in 1982": In a real and daily narrative style like "Reply 1988", it presents various problems in the life of a thirty-six-year-old ordinary woman: the preference for boys over girls of the older generation; sexual harassment issues and "slut shaming" of victims; unequal pay for equal work between men and women in the workplace; harsh criticism of stay-at-home mothers; employment discrimination against women; and the pressure on marriage and childbirth faced by single women. "The Summer When General Winter Came": This is a story that gently brings together a lot of pain. It is related to the cruel reality, but it is particularly warm and healing. When you fall, is there a pair of hands that can catch you? It was she who picked me up from the trash can of life. Before that, I didn't know that I was loved by someone far away. "Your Child Is Not Your Child": "Rashomon-style storytelling": the same story is told from three perspectives: mother, teacher, and child, leading readers to assume different roles and understand different positions without deliberately intensifying conflicts. The psychological description is as accurate as a psychologist and has a strong sense of substitution and empathy. "Shoplifters": Kore-eda Hirokazu: "In terms of results, many of the things I have considered in the past 10 years may have been gathered in this work. This is not only a story about thinking about what family is, a story about a man who wants to become a father, but also a story about the growth of a boy." "The Mystery of Corpse Manor": novel elements, multiple reversals, integrating suspense, thriller, science fiction, humor, survival game... The story is mysterious and exciting, showing the supreme charm of mystery novels. "The Biography of Zeng Guofan": a comprehensive review of Zeng Guofan's entire life path and destiny choices - a complete account of Zeng Guofan's transformation from fool to saint, how he experienced five humiliations, and how he continued to upgrade and reborn. To understand the complete life story of Zeng Guofan, this book is enough! "Bear Town": How should we live? How to love? How to win? How to protect that precious thing? How to choose and be a better person? This is a small town, but this is a whole world. There are many people here, but in the end you only read about yourself.
