I read this book because movies and TV dramas are slow to release and updates, and I was itchy, so I specifically found this book to read. After the film and television changes, it turned out to be different from what was written in the book. But without comment, this is a book worth reading, and I spent a few hours reading it in the afternoon. When I first read it, I liked the youthful past and the enviable friendship between young Shao Xue, Zheng Sunian and Zhang Qijian. Reading again is about Zheng Sunian's growth in the face of the death of Aunt Jinning, and the craftsman's spirit of firming up his ideals, choosing to copy ancient paintings, and being willing to live in poverty. Zheng Sunian uses static to perceive the passing time, while Shao Xue uses dynamic and passing time to live the life he wants. She did not choose to stay, but Zheng Sunian chose to stay. They loved each other, but they never bound each other. One always stayed in the old time, waiting for her to come back. A person who has seen all kinds of things in the world, but is willing to stay for him. From the books, I saw loyal love, just like how Father Zheng loves Aunt Jinning. But this is not a book that only talks about love. It allows me to see the charm of ideals, like Shao Xue, who can go to other countries for his ideals; it also allows me to see the craftsmanship spirit of the younger generation, like Zheng Sunian and Gu Yunjin, which is the original intention that money cannot move; Bo Yunsheng is a controversial character in my opinion, but I saw his ambition to revive Baiji Jewelry. After breaking up with Gu Yunjin, he was able to cherish Xue Ning who had been with him all the time. This is a novel in which the characters have their own ups and downs, and the novel's descriptions are full of charm and full of fireworks. I love so much.
I don't know why the rating is so low, but this book is really good. He connected the short stories together and wrote down the stories of that era, birth, old age, illness and death, youth madness, low life, love, hate and resentment... Including all the ordinary and common but extraordinary stories in the world, the Forbidden City culture, restoration art, cheongsam tailoring, clock repair... It included all the valuable and meaningful cultural heritage of that era, and wrote about a group of ordinary teenagers and ordinary artists of the older generation, and wrote vivid stories one after another...
How can I fly south if the north wind blows three hundred miles away? In the past there were glazed tiles, and I waited silently for someone.
I have read novels for many years, almost all genres. But only this novel makes me particularly sad. There are many scenes in it that make my heart throb constantly, such as Jinning's death, Zheng Sunian's I Wait for You, Bo Yunsheng's Jigsaw, Xue Ning's Love, Master Sun's death, Zheng Jin Missing... Liuli Hutong is no longer there, and the group of people who guarded it have dispersed. The trees in the repair courtyard are still lush, and the glazed tiles on the eaves are still dazzling, but the people in the house are no longer the same people!
This novel is really well written, with a lot of life insights. It turns out that the feelings between people can transcend distance. I actually like Bai Yunsheng very much. He really has to bear too much. It is a pity to lose the person he loved when he was young. Fortunately, he finally has someone who is willing to accompany him for the rest of his life. Zheng Sunian is also a very good person. He is willing to wait for the girl he likes for so many years and always believes that Shao Xue will come back. Jinning is really upset. She is a beautiful person and she told Shao Xue about the beauty outside.
In fact, the tone is completely different from the TV series. I don't know why it always feels sad, but it also has the accumulation of time and a very calm feeling. I like the author's words.
I like the way the author uses this moist and silent writing method to slowly unfold the beautiful side of human nature, the forced side, and the embarrassing side like a scroll. It is not easy for the author to understand the true meaning of spiritual practice before he enters society. It can be seen that the author's heart is sunny and bright. There is not much intrigue, but the multi-faceted nature of human nature. Looking forward to more works from the author!
The children of several cultural relic restoration craftsmen grew up together in the hutongs of Beijing. They experienced various ups and downs such as the SARS epidemic, the death of elders, and the demolition of ancient cities, and formed a deep friendship. As they grow up, everyone chooses completely different paths due to differences in personality. It tells a love story between a wandering translator and a cultural relic restorer, set inside and outside the hutongs where cultural relic restorers live. "Glazed Tiles in the Past" uses a love story to connect countless people's past memories, and uses youth to pursue dreams to tell the lives and hearts of young people in the 21st century. Its excellent story quality has not only gained great popularity, but also won rave reviews from the audience.
This novel is really well written, with red walls and glazed tiles, the place I yearn for the most. In life, I have developed a "heart of stone" early because of my family. But when I saw Jinning's death, maybe I had suppressed it for too long. I cried. When I saw Master Sun's death, I also cried. Maybe it was because of my feelings. This novel really amazed me. Just like the author said, she is the biggest disappointment in this book...
"The days seemed to pass very slowly at that time. A twelve-page calendar, from the Imperial Garden with blooming spring flowers to the Qianqing Palace covered in heavy snow, would take a long time for a family to finish." In the past, there were glazed tiles, and everything was difficult to calm down.
Leave a curl of snowflakes scattered beside the glazed tiles. Everyone's story has a charm that others can't appreciate, and everyone's life is also full of charm that others can't understand. Maybe this is the best time for Glazed Alley.
After reading this novel because of the TV series, I just wanted to know the ending in advance, but I reread it because of boredom. I found that the characters in the novel are more full-bodied than those in the TV series. The characters in the book have a lot more fireworks. Although there are many things that are difficult to understand, such as Jinning, Yunjin, etc., The ending is still very happy, but there is still an indescribable feeling in my heart. This book is the one that I have the most aftertaste of all the books I have read. I really like this book full of fireworks.
This is the first time I have read a novel after watching a TV series. There are many differences between the TV series and the novel. I feel that the novel is more detailed and the storyline is more complete, while many storylines in the TV series have been adapted or reduced. The novel is very exciting. The family in the alley lived happily. Unfortunately, the best Aunt Jinning in the world passed away. Even after being separated for seven years, the two people have never forgotten each other. Fortunately, the ending is happy.
Nice! Highly recommended! ! The postscript is the author's idea and is also the characteristic of the entire novel. Everyone in the story has his own life and destination, and the characters are very distinct. The low rating may be because I don't like this jumpy and bland line drawing, but I think it shouldn't be so low. At least when I watch it, I want to keep reading, and I will think along with it, and there will be a complete and happy arrangement [Love] The looks girls want are all in the book, whether they are as free as Shao Xue, or as clear-cut about love and hate as Yun Jin, both are good. "A person must leave something to this world. If you stay, it's fine. "
The best Aunt Jinning in the world is no more. However, the first few episodes of the film and television series are really beautiful! In fact, I quite yearn for the life in the hutongs of old Beijing, and there is an indescribable feeling in it. Also, the cultural relic restoration workers in the Forbidden City are really amazing. I will definitely visit the Forbidden City in my life.
Although I feel uncomfortable in my heart, if I think about it carefully, the life of each person described by the author is not the same as the variety and impermanence of life. The author mentioned at the end, "I have left a story to this world. It is still clumsy in many places and childish in many places, but fortunately, my youthful spirit has been written into it." I just feel that this is fireworks blooming in the world. From the book, I finally realized the lifelong pursuit of traditional craftsmen. The Hanfu element clothing that Mr. Chu was angry about until his death was just a craftsman who wanted to protect this intangible cultural heritage and restore the cultural relics of the Forbidden City.
Most of the time when people grow up, they are always told that your future is determined by yourself and you live for yourself. Actually not. The future of most people in this world is affected by countless people who appear in their lives. This influence is subtle but penetrates deeply into every aspect of your life. The simple womb conceived by parents at first fell into the world and grew into something unexpected by outsiders. And the person who can influence others is also lucky. The dream she gave up was realized by those who remembered her, her unfinished career was continued by those who loved her deeply, and her ordinary life was extended indefinitely. She lives after she dies.
It's good. Maybe it's more real that Yun Jin can't be with the person she loves, but it still feels so regretful. I always hope that people without children can be together, but it seems that it is not easy to have an unforgettable love, and it is even more difficult to be together in the end. I like Senior Sister the most. Although there is not much description, it feels very vivid. It was quite gratifying to see Yun Jin marrying someone who was good to her in the end. It would have been quite tiring for her and Bai to be together. After all, Bai was under a lot of pressure, so it was good for each of them to be at peace. As for Xue Ning, I don't think she is pitiful. Although the person she loves always has Yun Jin in her heart, it would be great to marry the person she loves. And later on, I saw that Bai was not too scumbag and was good to his family. But I couldn't help but wonder, if the explanation had been clear, would Yun Jin not have left? Will their endings be different?
In the end, for me, when I read this book, although I read it because of the TV series, I was not very involved and confused the TV series with the novel! Later, I discovered that I had never replaced Wu Huan and Shiyin, but I just finished reading this novel very purely!
A touch of history, childhood sweethearts, parents' cultural inheritance, and episodes of love and hatred, but the ending is pretty good in the end, and they live the life they want. It is one of the few high-quality books on Tomato, highly recommended.
I like it, I like it very much... The TV series is updated slowly, so I read the book; in the past, the carriages and horses were slow, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. Cultural relic restoration workers are really ordinary but great people who are waiting for eternity. The death of Aunt Jinning made me cry with regret; the loss of Yun Jin made me regret and sigh... The most touching and gratifying ones are Zheng Sunian and Shao Xue, "I will always wait for you, waiting for your return" "I won't leave" because a person is willing to stay in one place for a lifetime, whether waiting or returning.
I read the novel after watching this TV series, but I think this novel made me want to cry. I think it is so delicate. This emotion really needs you to understand it seriously.
This book describes how beautiful the love of parents is, so warm. I can pamper you as a child, or I can snuggle in your arms. Although the love of parents is not so vigorous, it is indeed so beautiful. The most disappointing thing is that Aunt Jinning passed away. I watched the TV series adapted from the novel, When I saw Aunt Jinning passing away, I burst into tears. I saw the reluctance of all of them, but they couldn't keep her. I felt so distressed when I saw Zheng Sunian getting thinner due to the death of her mother. Every time I see this scene, I cry. Aunt Jinning's love is too sweet, but it's a pity that we didn't stay together until we grow old. The story is very touching.
Came here for Chen Yuqi, but it's really good-looking
When this TV series adapted from the original work was first released in 2022, I was very interested in this storyline after watching two episodes. I kept following it and it became more and more interesting as I watched it. It's been a long time since I've seen such a nuanced modern drama. Many other modern dramas only introduce short stories about parents' lives, but few of them highlight our country's cultural literacy like this drama. The background of the story is taken from the alley next to the Forbidden City in Beijing. The growth trajectory of three generations is closely related to the development of national culture and culture.
Woohoo, the novel is more delicate, and you can feel more about the love, hate and regret of these characters or their joy and consummation. Although I am waiting for the drama to see the ending, words always have a special magic that makes people immerse themselves in the situation and empathize with it. Involuntarily immersed in it. The novel is over and the story is complete. Then you should also live a happy life and be successful in everything.
Every character is very full. They will be moved by the love between Su Nian and Xiao Xue, and also feel pity for Yun Jin and Bai Yun. But isn't it like this? In relationships, there is both fulfillment and letting go. Keeping the most beautiful appearance is the most serious thing.
Their story is like life, there are no big ups and downs, but after reading it, my heart can't calm down for a long time. It was originally an alley full of fireworks, and their life was very lively and peaceful. It made me feel comfortable when I saw it. Dou Siyuan and Qiao Mu, two awkward ghosts who like each other, suddenly got together. Zheng Jin and Jinning, who were overwhelmed, and Zheng Sunian, who could wait for Shao Xue for 7 years, they are all what life looks like.
This book is really beautiful. The author's writing style is also very good. It's very touching and worth reading! I really like the sentence "Some people were young, and some are still young." Yes, in these prime days, we all left something for this world.
To borrow a sentence from another bookworm: In the past, there were glazed tiles, and everything was difficult to calm down!
