Reader comments
The text in this book is fresh and meaningful, full of philosophical thoughts, and finds poetry in small daily things. Just like Qian Zhongshu is proud of making breakfast for Yang Jiang, this kind of fireworks makes people feel real and warm. The author can capture the beauty from ordinary life, allowing us to stop and savor the world. However, sometimes I am touched by the sentimentality in the book and think of the past that I cannot grasp. But this is also part of life, making us appreciate the present moment more. Overall, this is a good book that can bring about touching and thinking.
