Set in the 1950S After the Founding of the PRC: No Siheyuan, No Female-Oriented Novels
Looking for books like *The Educated Youth Era: I Have a Critical Hit System*. Stories set in the countryside in the 1950s after the founding of the country, with a sign-in System and a personal space. The protagonist shouldn't transmigrate into a woman. I've read quite a few that were actually pretty good, but then later they just outright said...

Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.

It is a novel that has the legacy of Mr. Zhang Henshui's pen and ink. The writing is concise, the words are incisive, the plot is compact, and the three views are correct. I respect the author and the famous and unknown heroes in Chinese history who shed blood and even sacrificed their lives for the country and nation. No matter whether life is one scam after another, please cherish your peaceful and peaceful life today. I hope there is more sincerity and less hypocrisy in life. The hatred of the country and the family will never be forgotten. Be a good Chinese man!
The ending is perfect, it ends just right, otherwise I really don't know how to face it. It's very similar to the "Five Thieves" from the past few years. The Thieves were more exaggerated, but this one is more realistic. Thanks to the author for the great book!
It's beautifully written and feels very real. The author controls the characters just right. The writing is very measured. The characters are also vividly and vividly drawn, and they appear vividly on the page.
Why does such a beautiful book have so few reviews? Is it because there are too few people watching? This is the second best book after I read Northern Pai's Grave Robbers Notes. Northern Pai made me wait for several months. Updates are too slow. I accidentally recommended this kind of book to me from the same era. It's so enjoyable to read. Although the writing technique is a bit boring, the plot is very attractive. It is interlocking and has a beginning and an end. Is there any shortcomings? I like this kind of realistic book best. It can be seen that it is very real. After reading Northern Pai, I never want to read any novels with fictional plots. The ending is not good, it's a bad ending
It tells the story of a child from an ordinary family in Beijing who grew up to be a liar leader. It is true, twists and turns, and touching. Although it is a Jianghu novel, it does not contain those fantasy things, and it is not divorced from reality from beginning to end. In it, love and hatred are vividly expressed. It also describes warlords, politicians and the changes in the country. It also takes into account the tragic situation of ordinary people who are living in dire straits, so it is a good work. Of course, the shortcoming is also here. Meng Xiaoliu's success was too smooth, making people think it is impossible!
In this age where time travel and tomb robbing are rampant, this is a rare good book!
This is a good book that tells the story of the love between children in the Jianghu during the Republic of China. They both loved each other but could not look at each other and stayed together, and also cherished each other. It also describes all walks of life and all kinds of human beings facing the hatred of the country and the family, and the people with lofty ideals serving the country and the people. The great Liuye Xia serves the country and the people. Chivalrous and courageous, wise and courageous. In the big way, he gave up all his wealth to fight against Japan; in the small way, he was affectionate, righteous and caring.
This is a good book that can be published. It has a strong story, clear narrative, and profound writing skills. The ending can only be like this, otherwise it may not be published. After all, it will go through that period of time, but this kind of treatment is very mature and sophisticated! It would be better if there was a "real person reading" in the listening book [laughs]
Schools teach us that history is the rise and fall of society, and Jianghu tells us that history is the cultural trajectory of human events adding the concept of time. We need to understand the rivers and lakes, because the rivers and lakes are still there. Whether in the past or now, the cultural inheritance of the Chinese nation also includes the inheritance of social moral standards. The spiritual values and lifestyle community formed in Meng Xiaoliu are the representatives of Jianghu people. Cultivation rooted in the heart, self-awareness without reminders, freedom based on restraint, and kindness that considers others are the collective personality of the Chinese people. This article is worth reading. Thank you to the author for creating such a good work for us!
A good book recommended by five stars. The plot is ups and downs, and the characters are rich and diverse. The author shows us a world that ordinary people have no access to. It also taught me a lot of knowledge. It turns out that there are benevolent and loyal people in the world of liars. It is a good book worth staying up late to follow. I highly recommend it.
