I haven't seen such a good book for a long time. I read it slowly and unpretentiously. The stories of the little people are connected in series and become a big microcosm of the times. When I read this book, it seemed that my fathers were waving their hands in the distance and walking towards me from the big aperture of history. It made me This period of history is getting closer and clearer, as if these people had lived around me. I can feel their every breath, the distinct differences in their personalities, the twists and turns in the story, and even the inner entanglements, hesitations and regrets of each of them. I can truly feel it.
In fact, why bother to distinguish to whom it is written? Does it matter who you wrote it to? People in this world live different lives, but how much difference are there when writing eulogies?
From the dialect narration at the beginning, we can see the traces of Gucheng. The dialect, customs... Everything is so kind. Although it is a bit of a historical background, the author narrates it from the beginning of Qiulin's employment. As a reader, I was not impatient but actually became obsessed with it. As written in the postscript, the author's three views are also clearly displayed in this book, and he does not feel happy because of things or sad because of himself. May the author work hard again and produce masterpieces that readers will love!
I especially like the author's time at Nanhuodian. The several masters around him also wrote very well. The author's language is also very down-to-earth. Starting from Qiulin's marriage, the 1990s generation is facing the development of market economy. Many characters have developed step by step with the east wind of the times, and they don't like the so-called way of survival in the workplace that is too realistic. Weiguo did not mention how it developed until the end, and every woman described by the author was slutty, unable to withstand temptation, and disliked it very much.
The Nanhuo Store, a small grassroots supply and marketing cooperative, indeed has endless life styles. Under the background of the big era, it interprets the ups and downs of the plot. The author uses realistic techniques to show the tremendous changes in a village and town in the south from the 1950s and 1960s to the reform and opening up. This is a good article, thank you Mr. Zhang Ji for bringing us this wonderful work.
The author has good writing style and profound knowledge. The story is told in a smooth and unhurried manner, and the characters have distinct personalities. The language may seem plain but it is still dramatic, making people unable to put it down after reading it. It is a rare good book by Tomato.
I am very happy with such simple and capable words.
This book is very real and allowed me to see the lives of ordinary people in the changing times. I like Qiulin in the book, he is kind and down-to-earth. Especially when he learned that his mother had lied to his father about his job, although he felt sad, he also understood his mother's painstaking efforts. I think he is a very filial person. The characters in the book are all vivid, and their stories made me feel the ups and downs of life. I recommend you also read this book, you will definitely have a different feeling.
The structure is complete and the content is simple, in line with the author's consistent writing style! But I always feel that the sense of age is not clear enough, and sometimes it feels like it has been worn back and forth. It may be my fault. I didn't read carefully enough and didn't understand it thoroughly!
Stories are like boiled water, slow and dull, but also like boiled water, warm and comfortable
Real life, real life.
The characters and stories in the novel are as if they happened around me, they are very kind and familiar, and they help me recall some past events in those years.
The white-haired person sends the black-haired person the sorrow, and the black-haired person sends the white-haired person the love and affection! A person of love can be respectable, lamentable, hateful or abominable! The direct rendering and behind-the-scenes expression of greed! It all jumps out on the page! What a great book! What a great book!
It's rare to hear something so real and close to contemporary life, like a stream of clear water. It's like a homely chatter. It's soothing and pleasing to the eye, without any messy, unrealistic handsome guys and beauties. I like Qiulin very much - he is simple and kind but flexible, smart, able to endure hardships and has a sense of responsibility, a good man who is now extinct [like]
I haven't seen such a good book in many years.
Ordinary things that ordinary people do in special times
Being short of words, I really can't find any words to describe this book. It's just beautiful.
There are all kinds of things in the world and all living things.
Reading in dialect is very friendly, but the listening function cannot be used.
After reading it in one go, I feel like I still have more to say. What is life? Ups and downs, you will always meet good people and ghosts, success or failure can only be finalized!
_I don't know why. Most of the good novels are written from the 1950s to the 1980s. They have a flavor of life and awe of life. This novel is the same. It writes simple things interestingly and makes people think. Thank you to the author.
Very good. In the face of death, it has a plain narrative, some absurd plots (absurdity is not accurate), it is unexpected and reasonable, the characters are vivid, and the ending is open. It is quite good.
The text is so detailed that I stayed up late to read it.
I haven't seen such a wonderful book in a long time, just one word - true!
As the story unfolds, the ordinary life unfolds vividly before your eyes... A rare good book!
Tomato🍅A book worth reading
It is a rare good book. It is told in plain language mixed with dialects. The ordinary stories of ordinary people are full of insights into human nature. It is much better than many award-winning works!
This book is good, with a compact plot, ups and downs, vivid expression of local culture and folk customs, distinctive characters, and a smooth description of that era!
Very exciting! The author's writing style is very good, and he tells the emotional stories of the characters in that era and environment.
The writing is true and close to life, a rare good book!
