This book deserves full marks, it's fantastic. It's thoughtful, insightful, and emotionally resonant. If this book doesn't become popular, Tomato (the author) might as well go bankrupt. This is a treasure of a writer.
Well written! Every character is portrayed perfectly. Speaking of the eldest brother, the hardest part was for both the mother and the eldest brother. He practically sacrificed his own life to support his younger siblings. As the eldest brother, he fulfilled a responsibility that wasn't originally his. His sister-in-law is also exceptional. In reality, though, I'd say don't have so many children. If you're not well-off, they're a real burden, and raising the eldest is incredibly difficult.
This is the second book I've read all the current chapters of in one go. The content isn't just simple reality; it's a simplified version of life! That's why I'm giving it five stars—it's fantastic!
The story is incredibly realistic and down-to-earth, with a dramatic plot full of love and hate, and brimming with the genuine warmth of everyday life. Please update more, so that we can feel a little freedom of the soul amidst the concrete jungle.
I really enjoy the novels that continue the Spring and Autumn Annals. I've read every single one of them. They feel so close to real life and are much better than many of the nonsensical time-travel dramas these days. Thank you for continuing the Spring and Autumn Annals.
Xu Chun's writing possesses a unique insight into life. Perhaps the author himself has experienced the ways of the world and has always felt lost about his own life, but in the end, he has overcome the confusion that most people face. He has written about his understanding of life and his expectations for it.
Honestly, Chunqiu's style of modern novels is the best I've ever read in this genre, bar none! All the late-night reading was totally worth it; the pleasure I experienced while reading is something a few short reviews can't fully express… The characters are vivid and lifelike, and the writing style, while rooted in life, seems to transcend reality.
I came from "Wilderness Romance" and have followed the author's works all the way; I love them so much.
An unusual beginning, filled with a bunch of questions, the story has cathartic parts, and it's stress-relieving to watch.
This book is amazing; it interprets another side of life from the perspective of human nature. In reality, I certainly find it difficult to reach the level of the protagonist in the book, but isn't that exactly what I truly yearn for in my heart?
