After reading "Everyone in Shanghai Eats Rice Porridge," I found it to be a very interesting novel. First, it's written in Shanghainese, which is rare nowadays, especially as the dialect is gradually fading. This is commendable. Second, it depicts Shanghai's alleyways, a vibrant scene in a city where alleyways are increasingly being demolished.
It's very interesting; a book written in Shanghainese that shows the old people and scenes of Shanghai's alleyways.
The work roughly reflects Shanghai in the early 1980s, with real-life content, and the language is fluent, authentic, and charming. I haven't read much yet, I'll read slowly, comment slowly, and the author will write slowly as well. It doesn't rely on plot to win over readers; I hope it truly portrays the full picture of real life and produces a substantial and excellent work.
Mr. Shen, I posted about your book written in Shanghainese on the **book platform, and it received over 300 positive reviews and likes from fans. Some fans suggested that I make a short video of myself reading it in Shanghainese to promote the language. What do you think?
It's so immersive, it feels like I actually lived in a Shanghai alleyway. The characters are all well-developed, and the emotional descriptions are very realistic. It's a great read!
The book was written in Shanghainese, making it very warm and comfortable to read.
The characters are portrayed in a way that not only reflects the local culture of Shanghai, but also vividly depicts the distinct personalities of each ordinary person. The author utilizes the limitations of the era to drive the plot, depicting a series of dramatic storylines. The multi-layered narrative is intricately linked, creating a tense and suspenseful atmosphere.
It's very interesting to read in Shanghainese; the story has many characters with distinct personalities, and the plot is intricate and captivating. I hope the author will update frequently.
I really enjoyed watching it; it captured the essence of life in Shanghai's alleyways.
It has a bit of the maze-like alleyways of the early post-liberation era, and the capitalists' houses still had butlers and servants to attend to them; the storyline is quite compelling.
