Reader comments
Art comes from life and is higher than life. The author draws from the reality of life, and the story is also close to the reality of life. When people reach middle age, they are indeed surrounded by crises and have children. The children gradually grow up and become rebellious. The couple has gone through the honeymoon period, and their relationship becomes indifferent. When faced with some temptations from the outside, they begin to be ready to make a move, and marriage often becomes a failure. Because of the crisis, when people reach middle age, their health begins to decline. Sub-health or unhealthyness bothers them. Friends and groups around them have become foxes for thousands of years. Everything is profit-oriented. Life is annoying and difficult. Everything together troubles people in this age group. Everything seems to be in danger...
Cheers to the male protagonist - he has a complete personality and works hard for his family. He has a crush on his lover and his rich subordinates, but they are still polite. His old classmates' power and transactions are all about profit. Even if his career is in a slump, he still keeps his heart, calms down in the art of tea, and works hard for his family wholeheartedly!
Great monologue to wife
After watching it for the third time, I finally saw that the mid-life crisis is inevitable for everyone, except for pigs - civil servants who are waiting for promotion, entrepreneurs who are still in danger of becoming big, corrupt officials, career women who seem to be perfect at home and outside...
In addition to the necessary halo of the protagonist of the work, that character can distinguish right from wrong, which is just a choice in the current society.
At first glance, the content is rich, the characters are full, and the plot is complete. There are businessmen, officials, first love, mistresses, business, negotiations, smooth sailing, hidden abyss, children's problems, and health diseases. It seems to be complete, but if you look closely, you will find that it is "heavy on commercialization" and everything everyone wants to see is shown. But everyone is quite far away from the characters in the book. There are old people at the top, young people at the bottom, and loneliness in the middle. Life is unsatisfactory, career is like a mountain, always needed, nowhere to rely on, occasional teenage madness, pitiful gray hair early, nothing at all, troubles everywhere, troubled by mediocrity, but can't escape... Middle age is really a rich word, the accumulation of history, the kidnapping of human relations, the concerns of career, and the hope of self. They all say that there is no doubt at the age of forty, but who can be open-minded, let go, endure, and live up to it!
The writing is very profound, the story is told without any ups and downs, and it reveals a lot of real life and profound insights in its plainness. Worth reading!
This book really made my eyes light up! The author Liu Jie's writing style is true and delicate, and he vividly depicts the protagonist Gao Deming's mid-life crisis. As described in the book, when Gao Deming rushed to school and saw that his daughter was fine, "his heart immediately relaxed," but then he began to worry again. This complicated emotion was too real. Moreover, the story is very fast-paced and the plot has ups and downs, making people unable to help but keep reading. I especially like this sentence in the book: "You Gao Xing are really capable now." In one simple sentence, the teacher's anger is perfectly expressed. I feel that this book is very suitable for those of us who are struggling in the city, and it will resonate a lot.
Have cultural literacy and life insights! Close to life reality. Worth reading
It describes the ups and downs of middle-aged people. Gao Deming is the common man for common women.
Now I am listening to it for the second time, and I feel that if I can listen to a book, I can make full use of my housework time to finish the book.
I didn't expect this book to be rated very poorly, but it's very interesting! Especially for certain current obsessions, it is accurate and insightful. I have watched it several times (of course, mainly because I have to record one of the characters), and I gain something new every time. There are some words in the book that can benefit the "humble room inscription"!
When people reach middle age, they have old people to support and young people to raise. All the pressures are coming. After decades of social beatings, most middle-aged people's physical health is in various conditions... The middle-aged people who are burdened with the burden of life have lost their passion for life and become indifferent, rational and even ruthless... But so what? Life goes on, right?
After reading the book, I felt it was real and vivid. I felt that the plot was about real life events. There was no pretense, which made me want to read it to the end.
The only thing is that the end of the story gives people the feeling of a hasty ending, or it may be that the story is too real, giving people a feeling of unfinished desire.
The author has good literary talent
Although life is a mess, we still have to recite poetry and look into the distance.
The author's description of the life, work and emotions of middle-aged people is close to reality, but also higher than reality. It distills some social phenomena with humor and profound meaning. The author's skills are very solid, and his descriptions of some life scenes are both realistic and refined, and also contain elegance. I admire you.
A good book that is in line with real life. I just feel like it would be better with a happy ending
Nice! A bit idealistic!
Endless aftertaste, worth recommending
Very good book
Xueqin should not have surgery. After all the money has been spent, people have suffered. On the contrary, conservative treatment is better. The same is true in real life. Surgery should not be performed in the advanced stage of cancer.
This book is okay and quite true. Life is basically like this, a life of fighting and fighting.
It is worth reading. The author has a deep literary background and has many golden sentences and poems at his fingertips. Very to the point. It can be seen that the author put a lot of effort into writing this article. I hope the author will produce more good works.
I don't understand why Gao Zhi loves to work so much, the boss's favorite employee who refuses to take a break.
The writing is smooth and attractive.
The artistic conception is lofty, the writing is smooth and natural, and I feel the same way when I read it. Thank you to the author for such a good writing style!
Looks good, thought-provoking
It's realistic enough and the complex is well-organized!
