Installation

It tells about the difficulties of a group of lower-class people in making a living during the development of the times. The writing is simple, the local characteristics are strong, and the plot is fascinating and touching. The plot of ants moving has been described many times, which is a metaphor that you and I are just ants between heaven and earth, and life is really not easy. I sigh for Shunzi's twists and turns in his life, and praise Shunzi for his honesty and simplicity. It looks great!

Look at all things with compassion, live the rest of your life with perseverance, use the ordinary to write greatness, and use responsibility to fight against contempt. The bright color that those pretenders like ants add to society is so dazzling.

Read it on April 30, 2025. There are spoilers [Shocking] When I first read this book, I thought it was quite interesting when everyone was laughing and joking together during the show. The further I read, the more uncomfortable it became, especially when I read more than 1,000 pages. Shunzi's life was really hard. He was looked down upon and suppressed by others when he was working, especially when his subordinates made mistakes. He came to be punished for his subordinates, kneeling down and being slapped, which tortured his self-esteem. In terms of marriage, my wife either passed away or moved away. I finally met Sufen, and was scared away by Juhua's arrogance and domineering. When I saw this, my heart ached. Poor Shunzi, but he didn't resist, he just indulged in the chrysanthemum, which pitiful parents in the world. Juhua is the person I hate the most in this book. She couldn't find a partner, so she lost her temper with Shunzi, and didn't allow Shunzi to bring other women back. She threw things and made loud noises. In order to drive away Han Mei and Juhua, she actually carried out such a bad behavior to the dog with a broken leg and killed a dog. When I saw the author's description, I didn't dare to read it at all. It was so heartbreaking💔 But in the end, she was not rewarded. Han Mei was also quite selfish. She didn't take into account Shunzi's kindness in raising her over the years and left immediately without even saying goodbye to Shunzi. Even when Shunzi went to see her, she met her secretly, like a white-eyed wolf. This book is very good. It thoroughly describes the hardships of work and the difficulty of life for people like Shunzi. [Praise]

After watching it for 10 hours, I finally finished it. The TV series I watched first was more focused on Xi'an food, comedy, dialect, life, etc. It added a second generation kneeling and licking Diao Juhua, and a pole dancer who fell in love with Dunzi, making it more family-friendly. The novel focuses more on the arduous stage career and troubled family life of Diao Shunzi, a native of Xijing. The ending of the story is still a mess, which highlights the hardship and difficulty of the stage actor.

I watched the TV series first and then read this book. To be honest, the TV series is still not as good as the books. I sincerely recommend it. No matter how hard it is, how tired it is, how difficult it is, you still have to learn to be a man. You are a man!

Teacher Chen's works are undoubtedly excellent. He has accumulated rich life and literary creations and has a very solid literary foundation. This is something that today's online authors should learn from. The use of local languages is particularly impressive. Shunzi always talks about the phrase "it's hard", which not only reflects Shunzi's understanding of his low status as a working class at the bottom, but also his helplessness when encountering those who bully others. Sometimes he takes retreat in order to advance for himself and those around him. The brothers' skills in fighting for the benefits they deserve. The characters in the book are based on life and refined in literature. They are very vivid and credible. The fate of the characters tightly grasps the readers' hearts as the plot progresses. As the curtain falls, people can't help but sigh: What a book!

The emotions are very delicately written, and the content makes people cry and laugh at the same time. I came to read the book after watching the TV series. Overall, it is very good and covers all aspects of life. I have read three books by Mr. Chen Yan, all of which have tragic endings. After reading the novel, I felt that the adaptation of the TV series was really a stroke of genius. It changed the ending so that it would not be so uncomfortable. At least the lovers could get married and give Shunzi a good ending. But I have to say that when I was reading the book, I was really angry at Shunzi's honesty and weakness. I wanted to throw my phone several times. How could there be such an honest and useless person. But seeing his helplessness made me feel sorry for him again. Don't advise others to be kind without having experienced their suffering, so I won't comment too much.

This book truly shows the life of ordinary people and made me empathize with it. Shunzi's story made me understand that there will always be unsatisfactory things in life, but we can't give up and must work hard like Shunzi. I particularly enjoyed the backstage interactions between Sunja and his guys, it felt so real and funny. This book made me think more about life. I recommend it to everyone!

I read "The Stage" after reading Teacher Chen Yan's "Protagonist" and "Comedy". It is very good and down-to-earth. It describes the suffering and happiness of the people at the bottom who make a living by working as coolies. Shunzi, this honest man who was so kind that even ants would avoid him, led the best stage team in Xijing, but his life became a mess. The daughter Juhua was like a pervert, creating conflicts again and again, insulting Shunzi's third wife and stepdaughter (brought by the second wife), and later cruelly killed the stepdaughter's lame dog. The stepdaughter left, the wife also left on New Year's Eve, and Shunzi was hospitalized. After he was discharged from the hospital, he changed. He decided not to put on stage anymore, put on a windbreaker, visited the bird market, bought a recliner, ordered a newspaper, made tea, and lived the "life of a retired cadre" that he had expected in his childhood. Without Shunzi, the pretending team is leaderless and can't do anything. Da Diao and Monkey went to invite Shunzi one after another, but he refused. However, when he saw the burned face of Da Diao's daughter and the difficult life that Da Diao and his wife had to live in order to give their daughter plastic surgery, his heart softened... Shunzi's life never seemed to go smoothly. Maybe it was all because of his kindness and weakness. The first wife ran away with him because of his incompetence and weakness; the second wife came because she took a fancy to his kindness and down-to-earthness, but the good times did not last long. A few years later, his wife died of cancer; he raised two daughters by himself, and besides working day and night, he was a little tired, but he lived a peaceful life; the third woman, Cai Sufen, observed him for a while, took the initiative to create encounters, and walked into his life. She felt that such a person was honest and down-to-earth and did not cause trouble. This is where all the turmoil started. Her daughter Juhua was thirty years old and had never had a boyfriend because she was ugly. When she saw Cai Sufen, who was only a few years older than her and very beautiful, and Shunzi, loving each other, she seemed to be stimulated and kept insulting Cai. Later, the stepdaughter came back with her tall and handsome boyfriend, and Juhua couldn't stand it anymore, so she tossed her hard... He was hanged. Before he was hanged, he entrusted his wife and daughter to Shunzi. He had a young and beautiful fourth wife. Wasn't it because of his kindness and reliability? Isn't it because he indulged Juhua's mischief again and again, and was tormented by his elder brother again and again, and the turning points in his life every time, weren't they all because of his kindness, reliability, and responsibility?

It was the first time I learned about the stage, and the first time I knew the stories of the people behind the scenes. After reading the whole book, the first feeling is that it is true. The bitterness of the people at the bottom, the families of the bottom people, there are hardships and joys, just like Shunzi said, they are all suffering. Walking forward with a heavy load like an ant, bending down like a dog, I felt very sorry for Shunzi.

The various experiences of the character Shunzi in this book can more or less be found in real life. The author uses the stage as the background, uses the stage to express labor, and uses the narration to tell the story of you and me as ordinary people. Friends who like reading are invited to savor it carefully! ! ! !

For the first time, I learned the story of the stage installation industry and truly saw the real life of ordinary people at the bottom of the market. Diao Shunzi and his co-workers built a lively and glamorous stage, but he always hid out of the spotlight, living a hard and embarrassing life with constant troubles. Even though life is full of hardships and helplessness, they still have kind hearts and run tenaciously to survive. This book also made me understand that most people in the world are ordinary behind-the-scenes hard workers. Even if they can't get the spotlight, sticking to one's heart and living a down-to-earth life is the best answer to ordinary life.

Shunzi Shunzi's parents wish him success in life. In my opinion, Shunzi's life has been very smooth. He knows himself clearly, is easily satisfied, is down-to-earth, responsible, and lives hard. Although he is not rich and powerful, he has a clear conscience. No one's life is a correct template, don't compare, take care of your own land.

The novel has many close-ups of ants moving. The pretenders are actually a group of ants living at the bottom of society. They struggle for life. They are kind-hearted, willing to endure hardships, and live humble but dignified lives. They deserve respect!

Ant moving is a hidden line, and stage installation is an open line. The dark line highlights the persistence, strength and tenacity of the bright line. It writes about the hard work and hardships of a low-income person in the city who works hard to make a living and brings several dozen people to the city to make a living and look good. It is very sighing and worth reading.

"Zhuangtai" is based on the daily lives of ordinary people at the bottom. The content is true and objective, and fits real life. The author depicts all kinds of small characters from different angles and writes about the hardships of ordinary people making a living and the daily fireworks in life. The writing rhythm of the whole book is slow, the structure is clear, the story progresses layer by layer, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional. The book is rich in plot and full of content, and it presents the human emotions, joys and sorrows in the market in detail. After reading it, you can truly feel the various aspects of life at the bottom, and understand the choices and perseverance of ordinary life. It is very readable and worth reading carefully. It is recommended to book friends who like realistic themes.

Art comes from life, and the beauty and ugliness of human nature comes from the environment. Good book, worth reading,

Humorous and sad, the lives of ordinary people Looks good, details are in place

To be honest, it's more watchable than the TV version, but Zhang Jiayi's performance is very good.

The vivid images are down-to-earth, and the author is very lifelike. It describes the helpless life of most people

Good books. Teacher Chen Yan's books are full of positive energy and the language is humorous.

It's different from the TV series. The smoothness in the book is too bad. It seems that there is suffering along the way. Although it is painful to watch, the writing is very real. The last performance is the most exciting part in the book. After the excitement, the curtain slowly falls, and everything seems to be back to the past, a repeat.

Shunzi's life was not smooth. His kind heart and soft heart led to a sad life. People need to straighten their backs. He has not even stepped on ants in his life, but he has such a cruel daughter. Being abandoned by his mother is partly due to the lack of father's love. She needs the companionship of father's love, not the material conditions that Shunzi thought. I think the author still hopes that people in the world will do more good deeds!

A very down-to-earth novel, the contemporary Luotuo Xiangzi!

The atmosphere of life is rich and good books are rare!

The writing is realistic, the language is vivid and down-to-earth, and the character's inner state is deeply portrayed, which shows that the author has a profound writing skills. Much better than "Dead City".

It's sad, who is performing on and off the stage, but it's all about reincarnation and seeking life, the survival of the bottom...

It's awesome. The empathy of those who are suffering. There are also the most ordinary people who work tirelessly and love what they do. Fighting against the era of intelligence, our little people's survival and perseverance

The novel "Zhuangtai" depicts the little characters vividly and has a fascinating plot. I think it is one of the outstanding works since the reform and opening up. That's all. Thumbs up for the author!

There is a reason for the award-winning book [Like]
