Reader comments
This is the first novel I read all night, and the character descriptions of each character are very detailed. It's been a long time since I've seen the last page. This is really beautiful. The emotions are very delicate and interlocking. Every inconspicuous character has his destiny in the end. What I read in this article is full of reality.
This book is like a long historical scroll, vividly showing the life of the people of Peiping during the Anti-Japanese War. Mr. Lao She's words are very powerful and made me feel the suffering and people's tenacity of that era. The story of the four generations of the Qi family resonates with me. I also experienced similar difficulties in the process of starting a business, but just like the characters in the book, I chose to persevere and struggle. This book makes me more convinced that as long as we have faith, we can overcome all difficulties.
