The whole book is based on the allusion of "A concubine riding in the world of mortals laughs, but no one knows that Lychee is coming" as the background, and is a novel written from the perspective of a grassroots clerk, Lychee Shi, looking at history. The story has ups and downs, rich characters, rich historical knowledge, and humorous and ironic language, making it endlessly memorable. It also contains many survival tips for advancing from professional novice to elite. For example: how to understand the boss's intentions; distinguish the interests of all parties; focus on the main contradiction when doing things and find the right person; respect the process but not stick to the process; practice to gain true knowledge and not be afraid of troubles to pay attention to the details; report work with key points, prominent arguments, data graphs, and attract the attention of leaders as quickly as possible; crisis management of unplanned emergencies; handling things tactfully, not taking full credit, and courageously taking responsibility for mistakes, etc.
It's so good. I can't stop watching this plot. I really want it to be turned into a film and television. The leading role should be played by veteran actors like Li Baotian. It should be very good. The scenes without women seem to be quite good. It's as exciting as Nirvana in Fire. I look forward to it.
Riding on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew it was lychee. In a simple sentence, it contains the arduous journey of a small official to calculate the secrets of heaven. It is the two small altars that countless people in it have to rush on the road to change ice. With only 90,000 words, it is really moving to read and I have gained a lot from it. From the very beginning when you drink and cause trouble, you must be on guard against others. Don't be greedy for petty gains. When you rise and fall in officialdom, you will be driven by the desire for profit. There were ups and downs along the way, and my heart rose and fell with Lao Li. From the beginning, we think about how to save, how to speed up, and how to turn around later. Real and detailed, I'm glad that Lao Li still kept his original intention in the end. I sighed at the beginning that he was not smooth enough and too honest, but in the end I was glad that he hadn't changed. Although there were gains and losses along the way, fortunately Han Shishi and Du Zimei were still by their side. Life is full of losses and gains. It's not perfect but it's worth it. Money, power vs. Friendship and original intention, maybe everyone will encounter it. Whether the matter is big or small, there is no right or wrong choice. If you have no regrets, you are worthy of others.
I read it for more than two hours and finished it in two days. At first, I dismissed it and thought it was just an ordinary novel. I am not very interested in history, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But by chance, I saw that it had such a high rating and was recommended by many people, so I clicked to watch it now. It really surprised me. What I see is the unremitting efforts of a small person under power, the inaction and kicking of the work organization, the high-level thinking among the upper-level people, the most difficult thing about personnel only when things happen, the layers of shirk and layer upon layer at the bottom, the helplessness and resistance under power. When I saw the comments, the boy who slayed the dragon eventually became the evil dragon, I felt helpless because of that era. But, fortunately, Li Shande is still him. This book has its ups and downs, and really reflects the tragic but heroic period of a little person. It's really great. Thank you to the author and the great readers. I learned a lot and gained a lot. Thank you. Li Shande, Han Shishi, Du Fu... Will always remain in my heart.
Good-looking, very good-looking I have heard of Prince Ma before, and this is the first time I have read his works (later I remembered why I thought the name Boyong was very familiar, because my emperor called him Boyong hahaha). I don't have much education level, so I have my humble opinion for reference. It is also very interesting to start from the small characters. An image of running around Chang'an City describes the entire bureaucracy. To be honest, it is really suitable for filming a TV series (I don't know if I have ever filmed one before), whether it is the many descriptions in it or the twists and turns and ups and downs of the plot. For example, when Li Shande is thinking and making statistics, he can use several lenses to get closer, and then bring together the same person at many different points in time to show the passage of time, or when he hears something and has a flash of inspiration, the narration can play the words he has heard. There is no problem in using this book as a script, but some knowledge points may not be particularly easy to display. Then there are the ups and downs of the plot, which is very interesting. Just when readers superficially think that things will be solved if this continues, new ideas and questions will appear. While reading this book, I never wanted to stop. The characters and plot also complement each other well. Most of the characters are very likable, and even the villains have their own characteristics. In particular, the description of the bureaucracy is penetrating and still has educational significance (meaningful) to this day. The various foreshadowings are also well hidden, which is extremely subtle for a short novel. Li Shande showed an image of an honest but somewhat ignorant official from the beginning, but his proficiency in arithmetic showed that he was somewhat extraordinary, and it indeed proved that he was the only one with the right time, place, and ability to do this job. His sincerity in treating others can be seen from his encounters in Chang'an and the friends he made in Lingnan. (The initial life in Lingnan was really wonderful, and I also buried a lot of knowledge points in it.) The first half of the article shows a story of upward progress, but with slight setbacks. Overall, it looks very positive. Later, when he returned to Chang'an, the redundant bureaucracy showed its shortcomings. His lack of flexibility was incompatible with this intrigue and intrigue in officialdom. He persisted time and time again, but was finally defeated by such darkness. It's funny to say that after his repeated experiences in Lingnan, he was also stained with silt, and he no longer dared to look into the questioning eyes of his friends. But fortunately, he stayed true to his heart and lived the life he originally wanted. But this mission is indeed great, and the legend of the little people gave me some surprises (I haven't watched Chang'an Twelve Hours yet, I heard it's very interesting) Prince Ma is also an interesting person, and the postscript is also very interesting. With one stroke of the pen, a living person is written in, and with another stroke, the events of one character are attached to another person. Fun. It is written in the postscript that the prince only spent 11 days writing this book, which is really amazing. This shows that he has a profound knowledge of history. It seems that I have to read other books written by him.
When I read Ma Boyong's book for the first time, I just felt that the words can be so delicate and write so deeply into people's hearts. The details can be so detailed. It's like learning new knowledge. When Li Shande bought a house, he was in a bright and open-minded mood, so he wrote "The fragrance of osmanthus permeates the whole body." It seems that you are moved by the characters and stories in the book. And when I found out that it was not fried lychees but fresh lychees, I felt so desperate, as if everything around me had lost its light, no matter how beautiful the scenery was. I used to watch the TV series "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and found it complicated. I couldn't watch it if I didn't have the patience to watch it. But now I just want to keep watching Chang'an's lychees.
This book is really well written. It starts from the perspective of a small character Li Shande and tells the whole process of lychee transportation. During this period, I admired Li Shande's kindness more than once, his luck and misfortune along the way, and his inability to control himself in the whole incident. He got acquainted with Atong, Chen Qiong, and the slave. He longed for the future of himself and his friends, but what he didn't expect was that this transportation was not as simple as previously expected. The journey was full of ups and downs. He lost the trust of his businessman friends, and Atong also became estranged from him. In the end, the "lychees" that he spent a lot of money, manpower and material resources to send to each other were finally sent to Chang'an, which is all regrettable. But what is unexpected is that Li Shande, who was supposed to enjoy glory and wealth, did not overcome his conscience after all. He still ignored the future and pressure and angrily denounced the extravagance of this journey to the dignitaries. This is something I admire very much. I think the novel sublimates at this moment.
It's been a long time since I've read a book so "refreshingly". I really enjoyed it to my heart's content. After reading it, I still feel that my chest is full of thoughts and I don't feel unhappy! Recommendation index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is based on historical events that are familiar to the public (a red concubine laughs, but no one knows it is a lychee) The story unfolds from the unique perspective of a small character (a clumsy, timid, and cowardly ninth-grade official, who accidentally accepted the appointment of transporting fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an, which was undoubtedly an impossible task at the time) Although it is a historical novel, the language is vivid and lively, and the narration is not delayed, just like a roller coaster ride. The occasional black humor and golden sentences can also make people think and make people laugh ("It turns out that the effect of being a bad official is as good as a monk, you can ascend on the spot" "This kind of person is actually the most annoying, like a mosquito, you can be slapped to death, but it is your blood that bleeds" "Processes are rules that only the weak must follow") With his profound historical background, the author restores the humanistic society of the Tang Dynasty to readers in detail and truthfully. It is true and can not help but make people feel emotional. Over the past thousands of years, human science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, and people's living standards have improved day by day. However, it seems that only science and technology has improved. Even though nine-year compulsory education has been popularized for a long time, and university education is rampant, people's hearts and humanity are still stagnant, just like they were thousands of years ago. Although the story uses the past to satirize the present, and the theme is a bit heavy, the author is still kind-hearted and arranges a not too bad ending for the protagonist, and also gives the readers chicken blood and chicken soup. Just like the protagonist Li Shande, who is nearly fifty years old, clumsy, timid and useless, he must risk his life to protect what he cherishes. Even if he is destined to fail, he must know how far away from the end he will fall. Finally, a piece of lyrics from the ending song "Xia Ke Xing" of "Wulin Gaiden" is inserted to end: There are too many unsatisfactory things in this world, but your life still has to go on, the sun still rises every day, and hope will always be planted in your heart.
After reading such a masterpiece, I feel overwhelmed. From the beginning, I was concerned about the fate of the protagonist in the book, and I was always curious about what kind of fate Li Shande would end up. By the end, it can be said that I had mixed feelings and was helpless. Li Shande in the book is just like thousands of ordinary people at the grassroots level, filled with the shadows of you and me in the ordinary world. Seeing Li Shande begging for a way to break the situation, he has already brought himself into it. His anger, unwillingness, and helpless sighs are all felt by his innocent heart. This book vividly, truly and meticulously reflects the difficulties of the poor people at the bottom, and is also a reflection of the vast majority of people in modern times. The plot is progressive and far-reaching. It is worth reading carefully. It is a masterpiece!
2025.2.3 I sincerely admire Ma Boyong, and a heartfelt story was derived from the sentence "When a concubine rides on the red earth and laughs, no one knows it is a lychee." I like all the characters in this novel, they are vivid and vivid. The empathic Zimei, the resourceful Shi Shi, the lively and cute A Tong, every little supporting role is enough to touch my heart. Li Shande is a portrayal of the little "me" both in the past and now. He is at the bottom but wants to break through the shackles of power. The whole novel ends in a bustle. There are all kinds of officials and officials, and in the prosperous times, there are worms and ant nests. There are people on the border who pay monthly, their homes have no rice left, they have no clothes to cover their heads, and their villages are scattered. Thirty acres of orchards in Lingnan were completely destroyed, and lychee trees fell down in 20 years. Some people were working hard and taking risks, and their horses died on the way. Feelings and feelings. Finally, two ounces of fresh lychees were delivered to Chang'an. The bells and drums are ringing together, and the music is symphony. Ending, mutiny. The prosperous Tang Dynasty was like a gorgeous and colorful dream, which eventually became a big dream. From then on, there were no more lychees in Chang'an. Before I entered the workplace, I had a glimpse of the darkness of the workplace. Ma Boyong wrote so well, and his words were humorous and contagious. I fell in love with Teacher Ma from this novel.
Highly recommended, this book has been made into a TV series. Fried lychees, fresh lychees, interesting! One word difference can kill a lot of people! Riding on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew it was lychee coming! What kind of person, and what kind of wisdom did he use to transport fresh lychees from Lingnan five thousand miles to Chang'an more than a thousand years ago when carriages and horses were slow? Let's listen to this man, who worked conscientiously during the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, disdained flattery, was an honest man who didn't know how to adapt, and was plotted by his colleagues and superiors. In Du Fu's farewell poem, he struggled to survive. In order to complete the task of ten kilograms of fresh lychees, how he transformed step by step into the person he least wanted to be, and how he never forgot his original intention in the end... This is a guide to the workplace, a book on lychee preservation, and a bitter history of a low-level historian who just wants to concentrate on doing practical things. He cannot be complicit and cannot bear to see the common people being squeezed. He is not suitable for the filthy officialdom. Retiring to the mountains and forests is the best ending.
Super recommended. It made me understand the deep meaning of Yiqi Hongchen's concubine's smile. She is not a person in the game and does not know the difficulties of others. The protagonist Li Shande in the book is really unlucky. He finally bought a house, but was tricked by his colleagues and took on an almost impossible job. But good things come to good people! I really like the ending. I opened it before going to bed at night. I wanted to read it and go to sleep. Who would have thought that I couldn't stop reading it. After reading the catalog, I felt that I could read it in one go. By the time I finished it in one go, it was already 3 o'clock [face covering] [face covering]. It's really good-looking, the writing is warm and delicate, and the plots are interlocking. It's not easy to be an official, and it's not easy to do things for others. It's too difficult for cows and horses
This is a fine piece of ancient prose written by a true litterateur. It takes a concubine riding a red dusty horse and laughs as the main line, depicting the extravagance and corruption of the court and officialdom in the late Tang Dynasty, and the helpless and sad ups and downs of a low-ranking official. The content is heavy, but the author embellishes it with humor from time to time, allowing readers to relax their depressed mood. After reading it, I can't help but lament the hardships of the common people under the oppression of the imperial power. I am also glad that the small officials escaped due to a blessing in disguise. The high score is well deserved, and I will continue to read the author's other works.
Prince Ma's writing style is really great. He portrayed a small character like Li Shande with flesh and blood, bravery and strategy. Especially when he came up with such a specific and complete transportation process, I have to say that he is really wise. The whole story described in this novel from the perspective of a grassroots clerk allows us to see the difficulties faced by grassroots workers and the masses. "A concubine riding in the world of mortals laughs, but no one knows that it is a lychee." The saying "Processes are rules that only the weak must follow" seems to be very applicable to contemporary society. No matter where they are, only the strong have the right to speak.
The details of the characters' moods in Good-Looking Woo Woo are well depicted, and there are many metaphors that reflect its brilliance. The plot was full of ups and downs, and I finished it in one sitting. Because of the compact plot and interlocking links, I couldn't bear to watch it several times. The fine rice bran is so delicious.
I have been addicted to short videos for a long time and decided to quit. So when someone recommended this book, I started reading after a long absence out of curiosity. It's really unexpected and has a strong sense of immersion. The protagonist is in despair again and again, and sees the ups and downs of hope again and again. The viewer is very anxious. For those at the bottom of the workplace, fortunately, they have a skill that they can use to their full potential. The result is no longer important. After all, they have worked hard. There are some things that we at the bottom cannot control or solve~ Highly powerful people (capitalists) can do whatever they want and exploit them at all levels. The modern workplace is embodied. It is a particularly empathetic novel. The more I read, the more fascinated I become.
Based on the laughter of a concubine riding in the mortal world, this story is created from the perspective of a transporter, who will present Lingnan lychees to the concubine on her birthday. Li Shande's bitter and struggling story is written with ups and downs, and it combines the ups and downs of the ancient officialdom, the scapegoat, and the easy ride under the big tree. Liang, one sentence of the big man is that the origin of the suffering of the little man's life is written as if I were experiencing it personally. It really becomes more and more sad as I read it. There are many places in the book where I feel powerless and sad along with the protagonist's experience. I understand his suffering and feel sorry for the people who suffered because of him.
Riding on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew it was lychee. I have heard this story a long time ago. I used to think that Li Longji loved Concubine Yang so much that he was so stupid and ignorant, but I never thought about what the people below paid for transporting lychees. After reading this book, it really touched me many times. It is not easy for the people at the bottom. There are so many sycophants and snobs. This is a rotten society, but there are still some people like Li Shande who have been mending the world. As the sentence says: This world is originally in tatters, but there are always people who are mending it. What a good novel. The author writes well.
Most Chinese people understand from Du Mu's poem "A concubine riding in the mortal world laughs, no one knows that the lychees are coming". Through reading this book, they can truly understand the difficulties of preserving and transporting fresh lychees under the conditions of the Tang Dynasty. The delivery of fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an went through a lot of hardships and almost exhausted all efforts. After several experiments, the delivery task was finally completed. Li Shande's experience as a "lychee envoy" and what he saw and heard along the way reproduced the corruption of politics in the late years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and the suffering of the people. It also reflected part of the reasons for the "Anshi Rebellion". The author has consulted a large number of historical materials and papers, which shows the author's rigorous writing attitude. The stories are short and exquisite, and the language is humorous and interesting. Reading can increase knowledge. It is recommended for readers to read.
Ended on 2026.2.4. This is a story about a small official who is struggling to survive in the workplace. It is also a story about the ups and downs of life. There is always an unclear destiny in life. You plan to turn left, but fate forces you to turn right. Li Shande is a kind and virtuous person, a representative of grassroots workers, and a "cow horse" that we often laugh at ourselves. How do people at the top know the hard work of the people at the bottom? How much manpower, material and financial resources are needed to make a word or smile? Until the end of the story, he finally felt relieved. He had no worries or illness and just ate a lot of lychees. Maybe God is willing to favor such people!
A very interesting book. In this book, the author lifts the veil of fortune from the perspective of a grassroots cadre. An isolated and helpless lychee transporter completed this impossible mission by crawling on this road alone. The ups and downs along the way have shown how impossible it is to accomplish something that is destined to work but is not effective. From the support of transshipment businessmen Su Liang and Lychee Garden Atong to finally gaining the support of the right prime minister, from the trial shipment to the official transshipment, the various workplace difficulties experienced during it can be said to be very real. For example, no one wanted to help him at the beginning, such as the subsidies that were reduced layer by layer, and the exile that went against his ears. These are all real. It is indeed a work that sells so well.
For this book, reading the book after watching the drama version may be the best way to open it. Watch the drama first, and you won't have preconceived ideas about how it should be or shouldn't be. The theater viewing experience will be much better. Read the book again, and with the short and concise story, you will have a more comprehensive experience of this story of sending litchis thousands of miles away. As for why it was only given four stars. I think it's because the book Prince Ma can be written better, because the characters' intrinsic motivation to desperately complete their mission: family and family are less used. This results in a slight lack of character. In this regard, the drama version is a better narrative. Of course, when Prince Ma had an idea at the time, he did not think about what would happen in the future. Overall, this book is worth reading!
The products produced by Ma Boyong must be of high quality. It's very interesting, looking at a historical event from the perspective of a small person. Let us have a deeper understanding of the poem "riding a red dust concubine and laughing, no one knows it is a lychee coming", and the reversal in it is a blessing in disguise, which makes us people living at the bottom of society have expectations for God's fairness. These things experienced by the protagonist remind us of ourselves in the workplace. The leader said that employees are busy and break their legs. There are also conflicts, picking peaches, and blame-shifting in the workplace, but the ending tells us that stupid people have stupid blessings, and kind people will eventually be rewarded.
The "Adventures in the Workplace" of an ordinary, down-to-earth little person who attaches great importance to love and justice comes to life on the page. The supporting characters Lin Yinu, A Tong, and even Mrs. Li, who has very little writing, are also vivid. Seeing the big from the small, seeing the decay of officialdom from a lychee, it also heralds the collapse of the dynasty building. It is wonderful, and I look forward to the film and television adaptation.
It's so good to read. The author is so knowledgeable and talented that he finished the book in eleven days. He has a wide range of knowledge and the language is beautiful and humorous. It's super good-looking. Li Shande also has a good ending, which is great. He really lives up to his name and always adheres to his original intention and kindness. The part where he angrily criticized Yang Guozhong later made my blood boil. It was clear that doing so was not good for him, but he still spoke out for justice for his own conscience, which was very heroic. I also like this ending very much, it has a slight sense of happiness. I recommend everyone to take a look. It won't be a loss if you invest in it.
Li Shande is well-named. He is upright and hard-working, but he is also a forced fate. In today's terms, he is a cow and horse of society. He accidentally took over the task of transporting lychees, and then tried every means to transport lychees. During the transport, he saw the warmth and darkness of the officialdom, and also felt the warmth of the human world. A Tong, Huali, Su Liang and the Dong people True temperament, as well as the care of Du Fu and Han Shishi, the journey was full of twists and turns. A little lychee envoy had exhausted all his life's energy. He was tired of it. He calmed down and accepted the fate and had to express it. But in the end, Gao Lishi rescued him and asked him to return to Gannan to plant lychees. This was also a comfort to him. He sweated profusely every day. What a pleasure it was! This is a normal life, live for yourself! The writing is really good. The author wrote about the story of "The concubine riding on the red earth laughed, but no one knew it was a lychee" in a hearty, lively and interesting way, but full of justice! [Like][Like][Like]
The content is natural and practical. The background of the era is well known to everyone, and there are many famous figures. They can use ancient poetry naturally, with beautiful writing style, precise word descriptions, and a strong sense of immersion. They can more thoroughly understand the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty and the impact of Tang Xuanzong's absurdity on the society at that time.
The plot of this book is exciting and fast-moving, and the details are well presented in one go. It is realistic and alludes to social reality appropriately, so many people can sympathize with it, which is why it has a high rating. Although the novel ends with an ironic ending that marks a turning point for this era and gives the protagonist a final aura and ideal destination, it is still difficult to hide the negative feeling in his heart despite sighing after reading it. "Lychees in Chang'an" may be able to comfort the helplessness, indignation and a hint of "retreat" of the people in the game. It will resonate with many people in the game and has great emotional value. Looking back on the "The Biography of Zeng Guofan" that I have read, it is more suitable for people in the game and has more reference significance and reference value.
"Chang'an Lychees" is a stunning work of historical fiction! Ma Boyong uses exquisite writing techniques to re-deconstruct the allusion of "riding a red concubine to laugh", and through the thrilling journey of Li Shande, a young official, transporting fresh lychees, he reveals the hidden corners of Chang'an in the prosperous age. The plot is as compact as a taut bowstring, the interlocking dilemmas and the wisdom of surviving desperate situations make people want to put it down. The book not only contains meticulous research on historical details, but also reflects the absurdity of power and the difficulty of survival from the perspective of a small person. The grandeur is revealed in the details. After reading it, you will be amazed!
First of all, the writing style is great, the narrative is compact and the plot promotes reasonable ups and downs. Although I can't understand many paragraphs [laughing] [laughing], it combines the calculation, powerlessness and exhaustion of the bottom people, the ruthlessness of the nobles, the disregard of reputation, and the emphasis on rights and interests. The stinky face is vividly reflected. The part that resonates with me the most is that Li Shande's own Litchi Road has become more and more successful, but the color in his heart has almost faded, so he decided to break up with Yang Guozhong and express his anger and questioning. Even if your knowledge and actions are slightly contradictory, your inner feelings will never deceive others, and you will still be unable to bear it in the end, so friends, be sure not to betray yourself. You must be your most loyal comrade-in-arms. !
