If you have only read fan fiction, don't be misled.

1. Most of the neighbors in the courtyard house at No. 95 Have bicycles (if you don't believe it, watch the TV series). Moreover, everyone should not treat big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangwu, etc. As the same situation as your small counties. The popularity of bicycles in big cities is very high. (You can go and see old photos, taken by foreigners) 2. The 1960s and 1970s were not the same! This is also the most common mistake that many readers make. The supply of materials increased significantly in the 1970s, but it could not meet the material needs of a large number of young people born in the 1950s. The supply was tighter than in the 1960s, and everything had to be purchased. In the 1960s, there were not many tickets from 1963 to 1968. For example, bicycle tickets were only available in Beijing in the 1970s. 3. Many readers do not understand the income of workers back then and have no idea about the cost of living back then. The dividends in rural areas are very small, but there is no need to spend money on food rations (not enough to eat), vegetables, and firewood. These cost money in the city. Maintenance of the house or rent, utility bills, especially water bills are relatively high. For various miscellaneous expenses, you can take a look at the daily ledger of private records. In 1962, in Shanghai, the food portion of the scholarship for college students, the first-class food allowance was 12 yuan per month. This money was not paid to the students, but was given directly to the canteen. (Class A students cannot afford it and need to be fully subsidized to eat in the canteen). The food expenses for soldiers in the army are higher, so I won't use them for reference. 4. There are many mistakes in the TV series. For example, Qin Huairu's income is problematic. At the end of 1962, the state introduced subsidy standards for employees in need, and those in Beijing were given subsidies of less than 12 yuan. (A few dollars lower in small and medium-sized cities) Qin Huairu must have subsidies. For example, in the TV series, there is no free tuition for students with an average per capita of less than 5 yuan. This number has no origin. In fact, the per capita price was set at 6 yuan (60,000 yuan in old currency) in 1953. Prices have been rising (18 categories have been raised less often, and other prices have been adjusted many times), and the amount will only be higher. The price freeze came after 1967.

A subsidy application form for September 1963

Because the family committee arranged a job for my wife and she had income in August, the long-term subsidy was suspended. But in September, my child fell ill and my wife also fell ill, so I applied for recovery subsidies. There are 5 people in the applicant's family, and the salary is 37 yuan per month, which is 37/5=7.4 Yuan per person. The long-term subsidy is 12 yuan per month, and the income after subsidy is 37+12=49 yuan, which is 49/5=9.8 Yuan per capita.

Qin Huairu's family's income problem

Aunt Zhang (Xu Damao calls her Jia Zhang) is a landowner who lived in the courtyard before liberation, and she must be a citizen (in the 1950s, the capital's land distribution policy meant that those who did not rely on agricultural labor for a living in the past were not allocated land or were allocated less land). Basically, there was no land allocation. Qin Huairu couldn't have come from a rural area. She got married in 1951 and within a few years, it was impossible for her natal family to leave the land to her. It belonged to her parents and brothers. In the early stage of the cooperation, the income and dividends were divided together according to (land + head), and the land dividend ratio was later cancelled. == The total household income of Qin Huairu's family cannot be 27.5 Yuan per month. This is the TV show's fault. (See Chapter 12 and Chapter 271 of this book) There is no tuition fee reduction for 5 yuan, which is even more wrong. There should be no deduction if it is over 10 yuan. Working in a large factory in the capital, the Qin family's total income (including subsidies) should be more than 35 yuan per month, or even 50 yuan per month to be realistic. In this way, we still belong to a difficult family. (The cost of living in big cities is relatively high) Many people were misled by the wages of young workers in the 1970s, which were around 30 yuan. These people have been working as second-level workers because after 1965, there was no chance for a salary increase... (Some people were raised in 1973).

Just watch you present the information. The plot progresses. I've already read the novel. It's almost enough. It's boring to pick out the words and present the information.

a good book

A good period piece. A modern man's guide to living in the sixties. According to the content of this book, mediocre people like us who can't do anything can still survive in that era. As for the Siheyuan part, it is also calm and not so violent, which is much more beautiful than the bird fighting novel.

Updates are too slow.

Siheyuan is a realistic and thoughtful novel that is logically based on TV series. Currently in Chapter 199, I am following the route of working groups to earn foreign exchange. There are no mindless conflicts, it is just for the sake of conflict and it is fun to go out. Traveling back in time 62 years, the starvation period has just passed, and the foundation for popularizing simplified Chinese characters has been established, so it doesn't look awkward, and it has been given four years of development time. Second brush, shortcoming: update is too slow.

The sincerity of the book written by the author can be seen, not random writing.

Yi Zhonghai didn't plan for retirement, Yan Laokou didn't look after the door to take advantage, Silly Zhu didn't bring a lunch box, Jia's family didn't lend meat, the deaf old lady didn't appear at all... This is the most un-siheyuan I've ever seen. The entire history of personal struggle to ride on the popularity of the Siheyuan. The two drinks I started with are quite ridiculous, not to mention that I can't even eat enough. Are northerners accustomed to herbal tea? Tea foam has to be bought by ticket, and milk powder is not easy to get. How much does a pound of milk cost? How much does grass jelly tea and milk tea cost? But the writing style is okay. One less star means your writing is not on point.

This is a novel. There is a lot of data, and there is no interaction between the characters in the plot. It is always about data, which is not interesting at all.

It's more realistic, and the information is quite complete. It's intended to slap the comment section, right? The problem is that it doesn't feel satisfying. The courtyard is poorly written, and the violence is too strong and there are too many conflicts. I don't want to read it anymore if it's more realistic and not enjoyable. I might have read it in the past, but now many books can only be read after the first few dozen chapters to know whether they can continue. I don't have the patience anymore🙃
