Reader comments
This book realistically depicts various problems and challenges in married life, which gave me a deeper understanding of marriage. I especially like Ren Tao in the book. His sentence "Marriage is like a long-distance race, requiring patience and persistence" impressed me deeply. This book has a rich plot and distinct characters. It is very interesting to read and makes people think a lot. I think it is a very enlightening book for me as a new mother.
The more complicated life is, the farther away happiness is. With so many choices, people have difficulty choosing. Therefore, the siege effect appeared, and the white rose and red rose phenomenon appeared. The one who couldn't get it became Bai Yueguang. What I got became mosquito blood. How can we return to our original nature? How can we be strong without desires? Ren Tao said that it was just right to live here, and the opportunity he chose to die was just right. If he lives a few more years, even if he survives Lin Zhongda's death and gets Wenqing, Bai Yueguang will turn into white rice when he gets it, which will not be beautiful anymore. Therefore, it was just the right time for him to decisively let go. It is the best plan for those who leave and those who live.
This book is well written, with ups and downs of the plot, an unexpected ending, and distinctive characters that make people want to read it in one sitting. Recommended recommended.
After reading this, I felt empty in my heart.
It's hard to make up my mind after reading this, the ending makes me sad
In the early morning of January 29, 2025 (the first day of the Lunar New Year), after reading this book, I felt very depressed and regretful...
There are always too many regrets in life! I really like Ren Tao!
I have been reading Huang Beijia's books since I was young. I like reading the stories she writes, they are very realistic.
I got to know Huang Beijia from the children's literature I read when I was a child, and here I accidentally met the author Dada who rewrote family literary novels. The writing is still so smooth, but as I get older, I can no longer watch the sad ending of the story.
The author's writing is meticulous, the story is real and touching, and the characters are lifelike.
The wonderful content is
In today's profit-oriented and money-oriented society, Rentao's kindness and generosity are even more highlighted! I really hope there are more people like this who are always kind to others!
It's not bad. Although the Chinese people's worldly atmosphere is ordinary, they range from happiness to blandness and boredom.
Although the story told is from a long time ago, it is fascinating and beautiful [Like][Like]
A story is a story. It's very touching, it's like connecting the affairs of several families together, and it's heart-wrenching to watch. I have to sigh again!
It is a delicate and soft novel that makes people feel calm. The characters are rich and delicate, and the characters are heart-wrenching. It is worth reading!
Ren Tao is really the patron saint of this family! The characters in the novel are all too distinct, from the female mayor and Ren Tao to Fang Jing and the younger brothers and sisters, their personalities are somewhat extreme.
