This is a realistic book based on the workplace. There is no golden finger of a boss, no time travel and rebirth, only the bitterness, struggle and struggles of front-line workers. As well as the entanglements between career, marriage and family when people reach middle age. It is of practical significance and worth reading.
The story is close to life and truly reflects the helplessness of middle-aged people. Especially for women, they have a successful career but lack a family; they have a harmonious family but a failed career; they feel free after retirement, but they are tied down by their children and grandchildren. You should still be optimistic and positive when facing life. The author's writing is very good, thumbs up!
I like Xiaoxue. Although she is a failure in the world's eyes, I think she is very successful! After she was frustrated, she did not choose to give up on herself or be cynical. Instead, she worked hard and studied hard. Such a strong mental strength affected the people around her! Parents will not affect their health because of worry, husband can work well without any distractions, daughter starts to study hard and plan her life, and colleagues who are dawdling around her also start to make progress! Although Xiaoxue has not changed her current situation for the time being, she subtly affects the people around her like the sun. This is success, because only the spiritual influence can be passed down forever! The author has depth and this book is worth thinking about again and again [Like]
It's very interesting. I like reading novels of this style. It's close to life and very realistic. It is said that God rewards hard work. However, Huang Wenxue went through all kinds of hardships and got the certificate, but still couldn't find the ideal job. The final ending is sad and worth pondering! I hope the author can continue to write such good works! Support you! Looking forward to better works!
This book is very well written and true. The helplessness, grievances, and resentment are all things we frequently encounter in life and in the workplace. People can't help but be immersed in it, and experience the difficulty of life with the protagonists. There are no brainless plots, no kitschy jokes, no pretentious wealthy families, and no soliloquies. There are too few articles like this. I finally came across this article today and it is worth reading. Thanks to the author for bringing us such a true story, which comes from life and shows life. I like it very much and recommend it!
This is a particularly simple work, with no gorgeous words or ups and downs of the plot. It is just like telling the stories around us, slowly saying that no one's life is absolutely perfect, and everyone's experiences are different. The difficulty of life and inner struggles in middle age also allow everyone to face everything around them with a more mature attitude as they age, accepting, being kind, letting go, being easy-going, and cherishing.
It is very real, and the sadness of women with no connections or background struggling in the workplace. Each woman has her own destiny. Huang Wenxue's unremitting efforts are very admirable. In the end, although going abroad to open up another horizon, it still feels like a helpless choice. In fact, I hope there will be a dark ending, but this is also true and beautiful!
The story is very touching, touching on the sadness of every person in the workplace who works hard but has no results, especially the forbearance of middle-aged people! Cried countless times! Especially the moment after three years of unremitting efforts, I finally obtained the CPA certificate. Immediately burst into tears. The protagonist's spirit of continuous struggle and improvement moves and inspires every reader. It makes people unable to calm down for a long time after reading it. A good book worth recommending.
Close to life, simple and true, there are no bells and whistles, no earth-shattering love, only the confusion and confusion of middle age, especially when the frustrated reality has been polished to the point of losing all its edges, and the embarrassing situation of middle-aged women trying to survive in the cracks is perfectly created. I feel like I am writing about myself. I like it very much. It feels full of positive energy, involves unknown areas, and increases knowledge. Thanks to the author for his hard work and writing in such detail and endlessly. In addition to living, life must have its own value! ! !
The theme of the novel is clear, the writing is delicate, and the writing is smooth. The character skeleton design is clear, the personality is outstanding, and the character is flesh and blood. It reproduces the real banking ecology and reflects the helplessness of middle-aged people in the bank. Worth pondering and pondering. The author's portrayal of the heroine Huang Wenxue is very successful.
