This is an author who is serious about telling stories. There are no gorgeous words, no outrageous plots, just writing with heart. Looking forward to more exciting content below
The writing of the novel is smooth, the plot is exciting and ups and downs, the inner world of the characters is exquisitely carved, and the description of the historical background is realistic. It is a rare good novel. I look forward to more works from the author to present to readers.
This is a novel in the true sense, with distinctive characters and historical background. The time spans 30 years, and the life changes in different periods in the old countryside in those years are truly shown to everyone, as well as the protagonist's growth experience, emotional entanglements and career hardships. It is different from the exaggeration and lack of connotation of most online novels nowadays. There are no messy love descriptions, but it makes the readers empathize and fall deeply into it! Thank you to the author for bringing us such a good work!
A very good novel, worth reading, very close to real life, the plot is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the characters and plots are described very delicately, making the readers' moods rise and fall. It's much better than those novels about rich men and handsome men. Hope to update soon.
I'm a bit reluctant to part with it. This is the most literary novel I've ever read. I hope it can be made into a TV series, but I don't want it to be adapted. Every sentence is so poetic, and the details are so immersive. It's the longest I've ever read, but I can't let go of the ending. Every character is like a living being. I can dream about the love-hate entanglement between them. It's a rare good book, and it should be recommended to the home page.
This is a good book that is close to real life. The article opens with Lin Zhongyue as an abandoned baby and tells her growth process. Her kind efforts and bleak life experience force her to keep working hard and move forward bravely. But in love, she and Fang Yuan's love was pure and beautiful, and they were loyal to each other because they sympathized with each other. However, love is beautiful, but reality is cruel. The arrival of the second child, the disdain of the mother-in-law, and the originally weak financial foundation of the family. After experiencing the tension in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, due to Fang Yuan's immaturity and foolish filial piety in the marriage, the marriage was helpless and divorced. Fortunately, with the help and guidance of A Dong, Lin Zhongyue finally emerged from the cocoon and became a butterfly through her tenacious struggle and achieved a successful career. In life, Lin Daliang's love and care for decades finally made her happy. Although I feel sorry for Fang Yuan, if I miss it, I will never come back. In addition, the article also shows the difference between urban and rural love. The self-superiority of urban people is in sharp contrast with the simplicity and forbearance of rural people.
Very good, close to reality, close to life, very little fiction, very good, it is also a true portrayal of life in that era, the author is very excellent [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]
A very high-quality book, close to life and people's hearts. It took me nearly a month to read it. When I went to bed at night, I would sink into the characters in the book, which caused the quality of my sleep to deteriorate. However, it was still worth it.
A very wonderful novel! It's so addictive that I can't stop reading it while I'm eating, listening to it while I'm working, and I can't even put it down even when I'm going to bed, resulting in a serious lack of sleep [face covering]. It's all because the author wrote so well! I just finished reading it, and my heart hurts. Huang Xiaohu's "Not That Simple" is constantly echoing in my ears...
This is the best book I have read in Tomato. The author has outstanding writing skills, delicate and realistic descriptions, and witty words. If it is made into a TV series, it must be made into a TV series by actors with good acting skills to live up to this good book.
