This book is very interesting! The protagonist's experience is really legendary. From his family being ruined to becoming a big landowner, the struggle along the way is not easy. I think of my relatives and friends, who are also working hard for their dreams, just like Dian Shikui in the book. Moreover, the description of wine and women in the book is also very unique, which gave me a new understanding of these two things. However, it was really surprising to see the freak part, it felt like watching a horror movie! Overall, this book is worth reading and I recommend it to everyone!
History is written with pen. If this history of this book had not been written by the author, it would have been lost in the long river of time. This is a sign of good deeds, and I hope to see more works published by people of good deeds in the future. Expect!
I have lived in Dunhua for 5 years. After reading this book, I have a better understanding of the history of Dunhua, especially Emu. Thank you to the author of this book, and I hope you can produce more and better works.
A better novel than Breaking Through the Guandong. Thank you to the author for letting me know the hardships of my grandfather's journey into the Guandong. I heard from my father's generation that my grandparents escaped from Shandong during the land reform. They worked hard all their lives. When I was young, my grandfather went from Inner Mongolia to Shandong to drive cattle for cattle traders and saved dozens of dollars. The land and house were classified as rich peasants during the land reform. If I didn't run away, I could only wait for death, so I went to the Northeast. In the last 60 years, I bought a cow and killed it. The commune wanted to arrest him. The ending was hanging himself. It's a tragedy of the times. In a few years, let's see if I can write my grandfather's story.
A good book on Tomato. The story line has the meaning of Mo Yan. The language is simple and immersive when reading. However, the length is too short and the meaning is not exhaustive. Many story lines can be extended.
This book has delicate descriptions and vivid characters. Under a certain historical background, it describes the hard work of the Dian family until they were left with nothing due to a natural disaster, and then from leaving their hometown after going through hardships to working hard to build up the family business, add children and flourish. Ruyi suffered hardships, and there were also various family conflicts, but the male protagonist's family did not stick to the old ways and knew how to seek flexibility so that the whole family could live a good life. This is the epitome of thousands of ordinary Chinese people who are constantly striving for self-improvement and hard work. Good book! Worth recommending!
That's awesome, a masterpiece! The Northeastern charm is really vividly written! I was born in the 1980s and grew up in a rural area in Northeast China. At that time, there were some great dancers, I've heard of them! It's probably gone now! This book is awesome!
This work unfolds a historical picture of the development of Northeast China through the history of Dianjia. It can be said that this book is an encyclopedia of Northeast culture, with folk customs and folk activities described in a superb way. At the same time, the story is readable. If it is made into a TV series, it will be very exciting.
The novel is quite well written, recreating the hardships and simple emotions of those who traveled to Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty. In particular, the author uses many local dialects that have long been forgotten by people, which makes me, an 80-year-old Northeastern man, feel more familiar when reading the book. This is a good work and worth reading.
I didn't want to read it at first, thinking it was one of those extremely boring online novels, but after reading it I was attracted. The fate of the Dian family was bumpy, and the changes of that era were really sad. Especially knowing the origin of Dunhua City, it is amazing and a good article.
