Synopsis

Realistic · Secret Love with BE · County Fireworks · Ordinary People's Stories · Youth Growth · No Golden Finger Based on the real experience of a friend of mine, it tells the life trajectory of a young man growing up in a county town. The county town, this unique space between big cities and rural areas, not only carries the heritage of tradition, but also faces the impact of modernization - life here is simple but not easy, with opportunities and difficulties intertwined. Many people may have dreams that seem within reach, but may also fall into confusion in the blink of an eye. My friend was once the "proud one of heaven" in our eyes: he had excellent grades and was among the best in elementary school. He was the object of praise from teachers and the envy of classmates. However, life is not a happy journey. In junior high school, he gradually became mediocre and his grades slipped to the middle. In high school, he fell to the bottom and became what everyone calls the "bottom student." And this was just the beginning of the ups and downs in his life. In addition to his studies, he also suffered many setbacks in his relationship. Because of the hesitation of his character, the obstacles of reality, and the fact that fate seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on him, he missed happiness again and again, and eventually fell into an emotional predicament. Continuous blows made it difficult for him to cheer up even after entering the society - his job was unstable, his career was unsuccessful, and he seemed to have been wandering on the edge of life. His story, in my opinion, is heart-wrenchingly typical. It may seem funny, but it's so real that you can't easily laugh it off. I wrote this novel not to be blindly sad or critical, but to let us see the weight of those critical forks in life through his choices, his falls, and his stagnation.

Reader comments

There are no cliches in the whole book. The protagonist is just the most inconspicuous among the millions of ordinary people born in the 90s. When he was young, he was ignorant and confused, could not see the future clearly, and made impulsive and regretful choices. When he grew up, he went out to make a living alone, carrying the weight of the trivial life. His relationship and career were all the helplessness that ordinary people would encounter. The biggest gain after reading this book is that I jumped out of my inherent life circle and saw the youth and life of another group of people. It is not just a nostalgic story, but more like a gentle mirror that makes me realize the weight of every choice in life. Many decisions I didn't care about when I was young will turn into irreparable regrets in the future. It also quietly reminded me that I need to be more sober and prudent in my life planning, and don't make the same mistakes as the protagonist. It is highly recommended for readers who prefer realistic stories and want to calm down and watch a period of real life.

The author's writing style is very good, natural and humorous. Looking forward to more works. However, I still didn't understand the protagonist's psychology at the beginning and the end, and I was a bit confused.
