I am a quasi-junior high school student. I don't read cool articles or messy ones. I focus on the field of literature. I hope to improve my writing skills and hand over the good books in your hands!

Slowly recording one more tragic story than the other, with characters and tragedies superimposed, it is the fertile ground of caste. The beginning is trivial and lengthy, and everything is just a glimpse of the fertile ground, telling the story of grief healing grief. Dina, who is curious about the world, Ishvar, who is tenacious but unable to fight against fate, Xiao Weng, who is constantly exploring and changing his life, and Manek, who is full of attachment to the mountains, is unable to resist under what his father thinks is a better arrangement and keeps escaping from reality. The intertwining fate of the four people connects them in 1975 and ends in 1984.
From the revelation of the plot to the explicitness of the title, it all predicts the suffering that the protagonists are destined to encounter. I pray from the bottom of my heart not to let these poor people suffer more, but everyone's fate is as inevitable as the divination and becomes a tragedy.
There are no words to express this tragic and despairing suffering life story [crying] Suffering should not be praised, but the people who suffered it should be remembered and told about it. It is the last mockery and resistance to the injustice of this world, the unfairness of this world, and the cruelty of this world [crying]
People in the world are so different. Appearance, race, color, and ideology are all shackles. Influence people's behavior. Let people who live in a stable and prosperous environment feel like they are seeing hell. In the long process of development of human society, various groups, clans, political and religious institutions have had chilling pasts. I hope that such an absurd, cruel, and chaotic era can truly awaken mankind. Let social civilization move towards true light...
The author uses gentle writing techniques to tell the story of the suffering life of a family, even the people at the bottom of society at that time, and the tragic fate of Xiao Weng's family. It makes people feel sad from the inside out, the kind of heart-wrenching pain that hurts from the bones to the skin, and makes people cry unconsciously. In addition, the writing style of this book is a very typical European and American style, with a full sense of picture.
Reading this book really made me miserable. It took me more than a month to finish it intermittently. In order to adjust my mood, I would also read some soapy novels. But I couldn't help but come back and watch again, wondering what would happen to Manek, Xiao Weng, and Dina. The sufferings of human beings are also similar. Compared with the sufferings of the Chinese, the sufferings of the Indians are equally heartbreaking. This is such a heart-breaking experience. Returning to this book, it was Manek who was knocked down in the end who had endured the least hardships. However, Xiaoweng and the others who continued to endure painful blows continued to live tenaciously. No matter how painful and humble this life was, whether it was begging or having to have it or whether it was difficult to settle down, - no matter how hard it is, life will continue.
This book allowed me to see another side of Indian society, which was very shocking. The characters in the book are all burdened with suffering, but they still live tenaciously. This spirit moved me very much. Just like "The Ordinary World" I watched before, the characters in it are also trying to live in a difficult environment. I think these two books are very real and make me appreciate my current life more.
I always lament that life is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people. Is this really the case? All living beings may be born unequal. All misfortunes have nothing to do with the times or beliefs. Everything is the manifestation of the ugliness of human nature. What is the meaning of being born as a human being? It's so uncomfortable, why do you treat these people like this? Are sentient beings really screens?
Recommended by my senior brother, it's as good as being alive [smile][smile][smile]
The story is very real, as if I have experienced it myself
The law of the jungle, the weak eat the strong, this world... A good book👍👍👍
"There is only one kind of heroism in the world, which is to still love life after seeing the truth of life." I excerpted some favorite passages from the article: "If time is a piece of cloth," Xiao Weng said, "I will cut out all the bad parts. Cut out the scary night, and then sew up the happy parts, so that life will be easier to endure. Then I will wear it like a coat, and I will always be happy." "What else can you do if something like this happens? You can only accept the reality and continue to live your life. Please keep in mind that the secret to survival is to open your arms to embrace change and adjust yourself accordingly. There is a saying that goes, 'Everything collapses and is rebuilt, and those who rebuild are filled with joy.'" This is what my whole life has been about - loss. But isn't this the same as everyone's life experience? Loss is essential. Loss is an important part of this disaster we call life. " If there is a lot of suffering in the world, there must also be a lot of joy, yes—if only you know where to look. "You know, Manek, there's only so much space on the face. My mother always said that if you have a smile all over your face, there will be no room for tears. " "I never look back on the past with regret or bitterness. " The world is like that. Some people are in the middle and some people are on the sides. If you want your dreams to grow and gain something, you have to be patient. "
The content of the book is very attractive. Their tragic fate deserves our sympathy, and their attitude towards life is worth learning.
The tragic fate shows the purgatory on earth. There is no happiness at all, who should be blamed?

Finished reading on April 6, 2024. It is an excellent work that deeply describes the suffering of the people at the bottom of India.
The whole book has a touch of sadness.
Everyone's ending is so sad [crying]
In the Indian version of "Alive", the more civilized and ancient a nation is, the more severe the suffering will be. I'm sorry for his misfortune, but I'm angry that he doesn't fight! ! !
It's good-looking and can give you an idea of the life of the lower class in India.
The plot is complex and intertwined, and the narrative is natural and unpretentious
It is well written, facing hardships and smiling at life.
A very touching novel that reflects the misfortunes and disasters of people at the bottom of society. The content is touching and thought-provoking, and it reveals the dark side of society and the contradictions between social classes.
