Down-to-earth work! Simple writing!! As a literary and artistic work, although it lacks some technical skills and language... Its flaws do not hide its merits! Come on!!
Although the story is short, the content is very compact. The author is very good at writing small characters, and the characters are also very detailed! Pay special attention to the psychological changes of the characters and the characteristics of human nature. From the occurrence to the end of each event, there is a good sense of urgency and slowness, beginning and end! It also maps the key points of some news in society, making the story look like a story, but not a story, it is life and more of life! In fact, it is not easy to describe small characters, because they are so everyday that I don't even know where to start, and they are also vivid and interesting. So I recommend everyone to take a look!
It is a masterpiece with high literary accomplishment, skillful writing skills and caring for migrant workers.
It's a really good novel that's written realistically and vividly.
This book is not long, but it truly shows the difficulty of working as a worker. There is no bizarre storyline, and the seemingly ordinary scenes are yet gripping. It is not difficult to see that the protagonist can be regarded as a leader among migrant workers. He is smart and studious, and his simple and unpretentious writing style highlights his personality charm. Although Li Zhen is still just a captain, how many people can successfully build a team of nearly a hundred people from a laid-off teacher and a migrant worker who bravely stepped into an unknown life in such a short period of time? Therefore, Li Zhen hides the extraordinary in his ordinary. Although Li Zhen's story has ended, his experiences and character are still worthy of my recall and reflection.
It mainly focuses on the migrant workers in contemporary cities, emphasizing the difficulties and challenges they face in work and life, as well as the various efforts and choices they make in order to survive. The whole story has a compact plot and vivid characters, reflecting the living conditions and outlook on life of workers in modern society. Through meticulous description, readers can have an in-depth understanding of their lives, which also well reflects the author's thinking and concern for society and mankind, and expresses the exploration of mutual help, care and true values between people.
This book is really about me, who went out to make a fortune, was deceived, suffered the same losses, and suffered the same hardships! Now I am still struggling to survive! But I'm not afraid, one day I will get better, like Li Zhen, grow up step by step, have a family, children, a house and everything. Hard work and sincerity are the best weapons. Thank you to the author for making me full of strength! Although life is bitter and difficult, who in this world will have an easy life! The sun will always rise!
It's hard to be a good person by working as a worker because you have a working spirit. The whole novel truly describes the hardships of the protagonist as a low-level migrant worker on the road to making a living, and the inner pain when faced with the dilemma of not being rewarded for his efforts. Especially the protagonist's confusion and excitement after arriving in the big city. In the early stage, he believed that he could break out of his own world with his own hard work and steadfastness, but in the later stage, he encountered setbacks and became discouraged. The whole mental journey is very real, expressing the constant hope and disappointment of people at the bottom in real life. The language is simple and unpretentious, and the psychological portrayal of the characters is very delicate. It tells a touching story about a migrant worker who finally got the remuneration and respect he deserved through his own efforts.
I finished reading "Workers" by the author [Cao Huizhen] at 14:03 on June 19, 2024. This book currently has a score of 8.7.
This book made me see how difficult it is to be a worker. They are running around for a living. I was deeply touched by Li Zhen's experience, and I admired his persistence and hard work. "Fortunately, I met a good fellow at the restaurant, and later I got out of all the difficulties with the help of the fellow." This sentence made me feel the warmth of meeting a noble person in difficult times. We are all working hard to live, hoping to meet our "good fellow". This is a very real book and I recommend it to everyone.
