This is a wonderful novel. After reading the novel, you will have a little understanding of Peking Opera and Kun Opera. It's great! The story tells the life transformation process of Jiang Peizhi, a pampered young lady in the Republic of China era. But she actually avoided reality because of her weakness in character, married someone she didn't love, fled to another country, and eventually died in a different place. Relatively speaking, I may prefer the male protagonist. In fact, he has always been independent and courageous in fighting all injustices: he was not loved by his father since he was a child, so he was forced to learn art and sing the leading role by himself. Although he was calm and avoidant at first when it came to emotions, in the face of Pei Zhi's simple and passionate pursuit, once he made up his mind, he persisted and faced all difficulties. He is really a brave person. I never understand Mr. Jiang, why he insists on forcing his daughter to marry someone he doesn't like, and why he can't see his daughter's sadness. Anyway, Father Jiang and Father Meng are really old-fashioned parents who can't explain everything in one sentence. But Father Jiang may still have a little love for his daughter, while Father Meng is simply an enemy to Meng Er. I finished reading the last chapter of the previous volume in tears. Meng Yueling committed suicide. She really loved Pei Zhi so much. Pei Zhi, why do you want to avoid this foreign country? Wouldn't it be better for two people to face each other together? In fact, the first volume is already a touching and tragic story. After reading it, I really couldn't calm down my mood for a long time. The next volume is a modern story, a light-hearted little romance. But from another perspective, think about it in this life, no matter the hero or heroine, they finally have parents and friends who love them, and their love is complete, which is also very good! I hope everyone can have a smooth life. The author's writing style is really good. I plan to read other works by the author.
After reading the first volume, I was filled with emotion, and it really echoed the saying that love in the Republic of China was nine out of ten. The transformation and alternation of old and new ideas in that era all confirmed the demise of an era and the rise of an era. The author's description of the opera culture was really in place, very delicate, and the writing was really good. He wrote the rise and fall of the Republic of China well. Until I saw Meng Yueling's death, the scene where he and Miss Jiang Si first met was replayed in my mind.
While I was reading the book, I kept thinking about the opera in my mind. But it was Jay Chou's "Fireworks Easily Cold" that kept spinning in my mind. There is a saying, "In my old hometown, there are deep vegetation. I heard that you were always alone..." It is sad and sweet at the same time. The final outcome is beautiful
Begonia is still the Begonia of the past, and the old friends are also the same old friends.
It's really good to read. It covers a lot of expert stuff and the author is very professional. It's really good to read in the past life. Miss Jiang Si and Boss Meng seemed to have a sad ending in the previous life, but in fact it was a kind of satisfaction. In this life, Jiang Qing and Meng Fengchuan join hands for a lifetime. Begonia is still the Begonia of the past, and the old friends are also the old friends of the past. They are all still there. The dream of the pear garden in the past life, the fate of the family in this life
It's a very interesting novel, and every character is well written. The male protagonist has a riddled past, and is only cold. He can only love the female protagonist steadfastly and deeply. The female protagonist is sincere and romantic, and loves the male protagonist on the stage with a solitary and courageous tone. She breaks through the world and class. The two people love each other, understand each other, and complete each other. The supporting roles are also well written. The characters are full and the story rhythm is good. It's worth it. I like this kind of love very much. Among all people, only that person understands you, understands you, and understands your secret words. The world is full of chaos, but only he can settle in your heart.
I have always read Shuangjie, but this book is so exciting that I don't care about it. Boss Meng's love is forbearing and restrained. If you don't know that he is the male protagonist, it is really difficult to see it. He knew he was not worthy, so he never gave hope. But Pei Zhi took 99 steps towards him, and he couldn't bear it, so he took that step and gave everything he had. He groped and climbed in the quagmire, but he couldn't bear to have Pei Zhi fall into the same quagmire as him. He gave up everything he had, including his dignity, just to get the matchmaker to marry him, his parents' orders, and the matchmaker's words. However, Mr. Jiang loved himself more than his daughter. In a decadent and chaotic world, they have no power to fight back. Later, the pampered Miss Jiang died in the bombarded Fengtian City, and Boss Meng never waited for Peizhi in his life.
Life is in troubled times, life and death are not up to anyone. She died of illness and he also died young. Fortunately, lovers reunited after a lifetime and finally got married. The begonias in Xifu are still blooming, and old friends are still as old as before. Even if we don't know each other when we meet, fate will arrange for us to meet again. Goodbye, Meng Yueling and Jiang Peizhi.
I was obsessed with finding a book about a famous opera actress from the Republic of China, but I was a bit resistant to misunderstandings and misunderstandings, so I kept putting it on hold. But once I saw it, I couldn't control it... I saw it was a good ending, Yue Ling and Pei Zhi were supposed to be lovers and finally got married [Love] Although I know that love in the Republic of China is 9 out of 10 tragic, I still read it with hope for a happy ending, but the gap between the ages cannot be bridged. I was heartbroken after seeing that tragic turn of events, and even more heartbroken when they left one after another... I thought it would be difficult to hold on, but I still felt comforted when I finally saw them together [Love]
It's like watching a long drama, the story is told slowly, the emotions of the male and female protagonists slowly heat up and merge, the male protagonist also has a hot heart under the cold surface, the female protagonist is the sun, he has always wanted to be close to his own sun, and he can't guess the ending when he sees this, I like this unknown feeling [laughs] The sweetness of this life cannot withstand the regret and sorrow that my previous life brought me [crying] Although Begonia is still the same, things have changed and people have changed!
I feel like the second volume should be a separate book. I thought about it for a long time after reading the first volume. After reading the second volume, although it is satisfactory, it lacks the aftertaste and dilutes the mood of the first volume.
The ending is happy, but I always feel that there are some regrets in it. Meng Fengchuan has been an affectionate person in his two lives. Jiang Qing was somewhat irresponsible and willful in her first life. She provoked Meng but could not accompany him. Some of the reasons were not valid at all, so she left a lot of regrets.
Very good! I learned a lot about Peking Opera.
It's rare to see such a complete introduction to a topic on Tomato. The author definitely loves drama and the overall article is not off-topic. It is also written around the theme of drama. The lives of men and women in the previous life were very bumpy. In the end, when the heroine saw the last face of the hero before her death, I really cried to death. The hero was really affectionate. In the next life, the personalities of some characters were also reversed. It was good. It was a good ending.
Although I don't understand opera, it still doesn't stop me from liking this book. The author is very considerate in giving notes on professional vocabulary. The words are beautiful, the language is humorous, the characters are distinct, and the plot is full of ups and downs. It can be called a masterpiece!
I've finished reading it, but there are too few reviews. I hope I can give some suggestions to new readers. The description of the Republic of China part of the novel is very exciting and depressing, and there are also many related background descriptions about Peking Opera. Although the plot of the Republic of China volume is a bit tragic, the modern chapter finally gives readers a sense of satisfaction. I hope new readers will not miss it.
The story is very exciting, and the aspects of opera in it are also very professional, and I learned a lot. The past life and this life have different endings, and the male and female protagonists are finally together. In the past life, I always felt that the heroine was sometimes bold and sometimes timid, and her fate was such a coincidence. There was always a thin line between the male and female protagonists, causing the male and female protagonists to miss opportunities. The last meeting was a farewell. Several supporting characters are also sentimental. The story of this life makes up for the regrets of the previous life and seems to open a new beginning. In short, this book is very good, and the story of the past life does confirm the saying that love in the Republic of China is tragic in nine cases out of ten. Fortunately, we meet again in this life, and everything is for the best.
It's still good, the author's writing is good [like it] but I don't have the patience to read it carefully. Love in the Republic of China was 9 out of 10 sad! Spring is deep in the old old days. Don't forget your past. Meng Fengchuan [Love] Jiang Qing. Finally achieved perfection. This life will be a good life. As long as people live in this world, as long as they have feelings, they will definitely feel heartache.
Wow, it looks so good, it makes me cry. The author's writing style is great. As a layman, the author's knowledge of Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera is very impressive. As a layman, I rarely read Chinese Ming Dynasty because it is too sad and makes me cry. But this is a good book.
I like the first volume very much. It gives me the feeling that I am deeply in love and cannot extricate myself, but I can't extricate myself. However, I feel that the second volume is a bit redundant. It feels like it is two stories. However, this book is also acceptable and worth reading.
The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away in darkness. In that life, Yue Ling was the Cowherd, Jiang Si was the Weaver Girl, and Yinhe was a feudalist. They were in love but could not stay together for life. Fortunately, in this life, he is Fengchuan and she is Jiang Qing, and they finally win each other's hearts and stay together forever. May all lovers in the world finally get married!
Love in the Republic of China was 9 out of 10 tragic, this is true. Although I was mentally prepared from the beginning, the story in the first volume was still heartbreaking. I feel sorry for Yueling Peizhi's love, and I wonder if it is precisely because of the past life and this life that we can renew our relationship. It's also a happy ending.
Even though the second life was perfect, I still felt sad after reading it. It felt like HE but also BE, and I felt so panicked [I almost cried]. But looking at the tragedy of love in the Republic of China, and seeing it reunited exactly a hundred years later, it cannot be regarded as BE, and I feel a little happy in my heart. I accidentally read such a thoughtful work, and I still have more to say. The book has come to an end, and their story will continue forever.
When I first saw the title of this book, I thought of Jay Chou's lyrics about fireworks getting cold: It rains heavily, and the vegetation is deep in my old hometown. The writing style is very delicate. This article is considered to be very good in Tomato. It also involves a lot of professional knowledge. It is just a matter of popularizing science while reading the article.
I came across it by chance. It wasn't much of a surprise, but I couldn't help but let myself stay up late to chase it. In front of the wheel of history, everyone is as small as dust, but the stories that happened are vivid, with regrets, choices, powerlessness, and hesitation, just like they really happened. I am very grateful to the author for bringing us an excellent work, and I also learned a lot of opera knowledge from the work. I have always believed that good works are not forgotten after reading them, but that one can see the world, life, and oneself in the works.
I think the part about the Republic of China is really touching. The love between two people has its own destiny.
The best novel about the Republic of China that I have ever read. I also occasionally watch some dramas. The author's writing is very touching. Meng Jingfeng is too beautiful, and Jiang Peizhi is passionate and brilliant. The first half of the book is like playing with the moon in the water in a song, it is so beautiful and unrealistic, just talk about the moon and the moon, don't hurt the spring. From the wedding to the turbulent moment, the pace is fast and seems a bit rushed. But the writing is so good that I enjoyed reading it... This is the best book I have read since I started reading it on Tomato! !
Begonia is still the Begonia of the past, and the old friends are also the old friends of the past. They are all still there.
I prefer the first half of the book as a whole. The details of the characters are very well drawn and I can relate to the characters in the story. The second half does not connect well and is very dull. The overall storyline is still very good.
I've read a lot of books, I recommend them, they're so good😊
