"Hard and Bitter" is a million-word masterpiece composed of three novellas, two medium-length novels and one full-length novel, with a strong biographical flavor. They can be independent chapters, but there are inseparable organic connections between them. On the surface, it describes the experiences of two generations of a family, but what it reveals is the conflicts and complicated interpersonal relationships of the era in which they lived. The author cleverly and truly condenses a society into a family to show it. Due to the times, the work is full of blood and tears from beginning to end... The language of the work is vivid and lively, the writing is concise, the expression techniques are novel and unique, the plot is ups and downs, and the suspense is repeated. Especially the description and creation of many characters are quite sophisticated, giving people a fresh feeling of being ready to come out. Although the work is nearly a million words long, once I start reading it, I don't want to let it go. I feel like I will never stop until I explore the secluded land of Taoyuan. Please give it a try. The book is divided into six volumes: 1. The young mistress of the former Qing Dynasty (medium) 2. The fateful journey of the cloth shop owner's wife (medium) 3. A cross-border marriage that failed to come true (medium) 4. Grandfather's magical big hand (medium) Long story) Five, the arduous and bitter journey of life (long story) Six, The door-to-door son-in-law of Lotus Chicken Restaurant (mid-length) The young mistress of the Qing Dynasty before the first volume, a one-sentence introduction: Is it worth it for a woman to spend her whole life for such a man?
Reader comments
I have finished reading the first volume of the young lady who lived in Qingju family. The aunt in the book is beautiful, hard-working and resourceful, and her parents love her. Although her family background is average, she should be very happy if she marries a well-matched man who is responsible for his duties and lives an ordinary life where men farm and women weave. It's a pity that I married a so-called rich man and stayed a widow for half my life. The man was such a bad person. This was a marriage calculated by others.
This book is specifically written to torture readers. The greatest tragedy and cruelty in the world is to destroy the beauty and expose it to others. It's sad and hard to calm down. This book made me come to the conclusion that women's kindness is original sin and the source of all suffering.
Alas, I would rather be a dog in prosperous times than a person in troubled times!
This is a shocking book. Once you pick it up, you can't put it down. After reading the beginning, you want to read it all in one go. Then you will ponder in your mind for a long time: How could this be like this in the human world?
Very good: so beautiful
I don't want to talk about this family, it's too hard, right?
As the title of the book suggests, life is hard and bitter!
A rare good work with rich foundation!
Well written, very well written, wonderfully written
Sorry, for such a beautiful book, why is it only rated 67 points? Who are the judges? Can you please show your nakedness?
When Wu Dalang opened a store, he didn't want others to compare with him...
Beautiful, exciting, well written
A very nice book. Although it is difficult and bitter to read, it is worth reading.
It's a really good book. The writing technique is novel, the layers are clear, and it's down to earth. I can't put it down once I read it. How many chapters are left? Looking forward to it! Looking forward to it!
A heavy beginning, a guilty end! Very readable. Who is to blame? It's just the cycle of time!
It's very beautifully written.
This family has remained kind despite difficult circumstances
The fifth volume, the father's volume, is more interesting. It should be an inspirational article. The young apprentice finally succeeds after going through hardships. It's getting better and better, and the pace is very fast. I look forward to updating it soon.
This book should be read from the back to the front.
Twists and turns, sincere feelings
The books I listened to in the morning, two volumes, made me depressed [smile] The people in the book are suffering when they are alive, and there is no happiness at all. It is hard and bitter, which fits the title of the book.
