For twenty years, Qiu Yuan has devoted herself without complaint to a major state-owned enterprise, forging ahead and pouring her youth into its bustling world. With a keen mind, a willingness to work hard, and a down-to-earth attitude, she has earned one honor and affirmation after another. In pursuit of empty prestige, she nearly gives birth on a construction site, and receives six critical-condition notices in just three days. Just when she thinks she has made it and can finally enjoy the fruits of her success,
none of it matters.
Naivety only defeats the most naive. In the workplace, underhanded attacks can come at any time. A scandal that derails a company leader, along with a notebook connected to a murder behind a corruption case, exposes the secrets of corporate management, each revelation leading to another.
Conspiracy, framing, and kidnapping bring Qiu Yuan’s life to the brink of ruin. She fights on, determined to survive.
The novel also ventures into the struggles women face in the modern workplace: from hardship to disappointment, from despair to deep reflection. Our heroine isn’t some delicate beauty who simply endures and holds her ground. She is a woman who carves out her own life with fists blazing.
The supporting characters are just as compelling: Qiu Yuan’s mother, who has endured a difficult life yet remains strong and unyielding; her ex-boyfriend, returning from abroad after years away, hoping to rekindle their romance; her talented best friend, who lives life on her own terms; and the reserved, tender-hearted scientist who dotes on his wife.
Amid the vast sea of humanity, come witness society, the workplace, marriage, family, friends, men, and women.
This novel was conceived without considering the social structure. Because the subject was too big to control, it was limited to the economic activities of an industry and all the interpersonal relationships involved in this industry. The characters are the soul of this novel. Qiu Yuan is complex, but very real. There is no artificiality to pretend to be a snake. When shaping Qiu Yuan's subsequent development, patriotism is our basic sentiment. I can come into contact with social problems, which may be pitiful in one aspect, such as the gap between rich and poor, competition in the workplace, family conflicts, and the noisy and unkindness of the capital city. The plot mainly revolves around the characters, and every character has a story. Especially the twists and turns of mother Wei Gui's life (very period literature) and the open-mindedness of father Qiu Baoguo who can create Qiu Yuan. I hope readers will take a closer look. Society is really complicated, and people with a discerning eye will see more obscure meanings, such as who are Quan Ce's parents.
I came from another book by the author. I didn't expect the styles to be completely different, but I felt they were inexplicably connected. The author is a person who has insights into life. The logical thinking of the story in the article is well connected with the development and changes, and the character setting is also very good. The character Wang Xiangyang is even more fascinating. He is a hero, but he is also a helpless hero. The author has very upright views. Mother Wei is really a very powerful person. The heroine Qiu Yuan is really capable of bending and stretching. She should be strong and timid when she should be. Quan Ce may be said to be a contradiction, but everything is within reason. The character Gu Zhizhou is also very representative. I really hope there will be a spin-off for him, even if it is a rebirth setting. All in all, this book should be a fan.
The writing style is close to reality, and the content covers a wide range of topics. I like Qiu Yuan's character written in a large and distinctive way. It is recommended to read.
The language is fluent and natural, the story is exciting and interesting, and the exquisite writing style can be seen between the lines. It is beautiful and highly recommended.
