It's so beautiful. There aren't too many beautiful words to describe this book. It's really plain, but it can inspire your love, such as getting ready for the college entrance examination. The few sentences written in each chapter are really exciting, and I'm very satisfied that I didn't travel through the book or be reborn. I'm really tired of reading it recently. No, this book doesn't have it, and there won't be any abuse or anything like that. After all, everyone has shortcomings and selfishness, but they will all come together at some point. The people living in the hutong are our ordinary lives. There is no cool life, only your ordinary life of soy, vinegar, oil and salt, which is very ordinary but also very warm.
It's very good-looking. Although it's plain and has no golden fingers, it's very real and has a strong sense of life. It makes people want to enter the era when Shu Shu lived and feel the atmosphere of the alleys of old Beijing. The author's writing style is very good and the characters are created very naturally.
It feels very real. The words I see can be transformed into scenes and appear in my mind. It has a very lifelike feel.
I like Zhong Mu's character, she is very energetic and upright. This book feels like it has a very upright and positive outlook, and is very comfortable for readers. I feel that it should also be a good TV series.
After reading it, it feels like the love between parents. The whole process is warm and interesting. You can consider making a 30-40 episode TV series. It is very interesting and not so bloody and messy. I hope the team of Noon Sunshine will see it and this will be another classic [smirk]🤭[smirk]
It's really super pretty!!!! I really like the short stories about parents, and the author's descriptions are great. Everyone in it has a good side and a bad side. The writing is very real and touching. The sisterly relationship between Xiao Min and Shu Shu is very touching. The family relationship is very warm. The love between Shu Shu and He Shi is very sweet. The neighbors in the alley are also very interesting. People are not perfect. There may be some things that are not done well, but there are no overwhelming conflicts. In short, this is a warm little story about a micro-group portrait, and it is also a heartwarming story about the parents around Shushu and her step-by-step growth!!!! (Ps: I praise the author so much!!!! The writing is really great 🥰🥰🥰)
It is particularly beautiful and reflects the life of that era. It is a sparse and ordinary story, with some interesting characters, and you can see the diversity. Chai Susu's second book, getting better and better together~ My parents are short-lived, plain but warm, and I can taste the charm of that era. I support them.
Never, never miss this book because of its low rating. The characters in it have distinct personalities, their parents are short-lived, and their love, hate, and sorrow are really immersive. The humor, warmth, and plot are all on point. Go watch it, it doesn't look good, scold me in my comment section [star][star][star]
It is a very good novel. Although the author said that he wrote it intermittently for nine months and felt that he did not perform well, I felt that it was very charming after reading it. It's not like the popular online novels now, but more like a collection of essays that I held in my hands when I was studying in elementary school, or a life story in the recommended reading list. The full text is very heart-warming, but it is not a pure virtual world without the best, gold-fingered, and extremely good or bad people. It is simple and real. It seems that there really is such a family living and growing up at the foot of the imperial city. I recommend friends who want to read slowly to read this novel. It is not the ultimate fast-food novel, and it also has a plot that makes people angry. However, the real humanity is worth appreciating.
It's very interesting. I highly recommend it. I prefer this type of novel. The last time I watched this kind of movie was "Alley People". The author's writing style is also very good. The eloquent plot, represented by the Zhong family, uses the life in the alley to show the development and changes of society at that time. It tells the story of people and events step by step from the educated youth going to the countryside, the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the development of individual economy. My writing skills are limited, but I really recommend reading it!!! Of course, the author will update a lot~~, (ง •̀_•́)ง Come on
