I haven't read the entire book, so I can't comment on it, but the things mentioned above are indeed very close to reality. It is a good book worth reading. People who have not experienced that era can give some opinions, and those at the bottom who have experienced it will find it realistic. It's been a long time since I've read such a refreshing article, and I hope the author will write a second such work.
Very real, beautiful, and full of memories
I would like to give the author a suggestion. Although the creation comes from life, no matter how miserable the ending of the real Dongguan uncle is, the male protagonist in the novel, Uncle Fan, is affectionate and righteous, and cooperates with Baidao to eliminate the dark side. He is a positive character. I hope that Xiao Fan's ending will not be too miserable. Today is the era of cool writing, and traffic is king.
This is indeed a rare book on the Internet! The theme is clear, love and hate are clear, and it is full of positive energy. Evil prevails over good, punishing evil and promoting good, helping those in danger and those in need. The protagonist is proud of the world and happy with his grudges, as if Linghu Chong was reincarnated. The plot is ups and downs yet logical, and the emotions are delicate yet full of human warmth. After reading it, I was reminded of Huawei's Jedi Rebirth - Behind greatness is suffering. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the second half of the story ends too hastily, almost in an outline style, leaving readers confused. I wonder if the author has any plans to continue the story?
The situation is real and the plot is compact! Great book! I almost cried when I saw the ending! Make a grown man cry! The affectionate and righteous uncle Fan ended up like this! I feel bad! He was just born at the wrong time, but at the right time! It can be dug up quickly when the time is right, but it can't be long-term if it is not right!
It is true and informative, and uses the simplest words to interpret the various aspects of life in Dongguan when it first grew up. The characters are drawn to the core. It is precisely this kind of life at the bottom that can better reflect its difference. Only then can it attract the viewer's attention and appetite. To be honest, this is a book type that many readers like. Praise for the author's feelings and writing skills. 🙏👍👍👍
The author carefully helps us recall the real life of the Sichuan troops who went south to Guangdong to pan for gold. And the content is quite close to the phenomenon of that year. Worth a look. I am from Qu County. I went to Guangdong in 1988 and the content in the book is very close to the phenomenon of that year. Really looking forward to the update!
The story is compact and vividly reproduces the true portrayal of the workers at that time, and the description of the children in the rivers and lakes is also almost realistic. This book can bring back the memories of those years and it is a very good book.
This novel is so touching! Worth a look! Vivid! Reality!
What the author writes is more in line with the atmosphere of human beings!
The author's writing is very real, delicate and has a sense of the times. Only those who have experienced that era can deeply understand...👍👍👍
It truly shows the hardships of being a wage earner in Guangdong back then!
The ups and downs of the world and the evocative story. Although the ending was hasty due to factors, it does not affect the perfection of the book. I hope that the follow-up "Old Things in Dongguan" will still be more perfect!
It is very practical. In the 1990s, people from all over the country moved south together, and I was one of them. Working in the factory continued as usual, and now many people are the first to eat crabs! The author's original intention of being a migrant worker who earned his first pot of gold has not changed. He is very simple. We Chongqing people [snicker][snicker][snicker][snicker]
It's the first time I've read a novel in a long time and commented on it It's quite good to read, and the plot is okay. Anyone who has been to Dongguan will be reminded of the past when reading this novel.
In the past, there were few opportunities to see works that reflected the daily lives of people in the world. "Dongguan Past" is refreshing and fascinating. Through each story, it shows the ugliness and glory of human nature. Although the ending is too rushed, it is still a good work and worth appreciating! Salute to Mr. Houjie!
It's a great urban novel. I've never been to Dongguan, but reading this book written by the author, it feels like it's really happening around me. It's a pity that it ends in a hurry, and the ending is disappointing. It's not satisfactory but true.
The content is true and objective. It is a book for working people like me. I often burst into tears when reading the book. It is so touching...
It is a very good book that describes the bitterness of our generation of drifters. Pictures of starvation, security inspections, factory oppression, harsh management, etc. All come to mind clearly. The book not only describes the bitterness and unwillingness of those born in the 60s and 70s, but also describes the strength and resilience of our generation. What I value most is the author's description of human nature, which brings each character to life! We can be regarded as the "witnesses" of the generation of wanderers left on this land. Although we don't earn much, we still live strong with our families, and finally take root here, start a family, and raise children. This can be considered a consolation to the souls of us wanderers!
Refresh the sense of participation in the era. As a member of the Southern Drifters at the same time in the book, although there was no such turmoil, he also experienced or heard about many similar incidents in the book. I recall my confused eyes in the hot land of the south, my young shoulders carrying the hardships of the family as I walked forward, and I am still fascinated by the beauty in my eyes!
It's a rare iron-blooded world where Xiao Fan has mastered the weaknesses of human nature! The loving and righteous gangster brother! The ending is so sad! It also fully demonstrates Xiao Fan's selflessness! It is a rare masterpiece!
True events, minor adaptation! It is also the memory of the Xitou people in Houjie!
Except for the ending, which is a bit rushed, the rest of it is exciting and worth watching.
This book indeed tells the true story of that era! The wandering life, the squeeze of the factory, is hard but without success. Think about how you were really poor back then and had to endure hardships that were different from ordinary people. [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]
The whole book objectively and fairly describes the social aspects of an era point by point. It describes each character in the background of the era deeply. It is a rare good book. [Like] [Like] [Like] It is not like some books that are mechanically written to attract attention. The only regret is that the author scrawled a little for the end of the new book. I will continue to follow the author's next book, "Old Things in Dongguan", and hope that the next one will be better. [OK][OK][OK]
The novel records the constant self-improvement of migrant workers in an era and the sweet and sour joys and sorrows. Very real and wonderful!
Personally, I think this book is very good. It records the people and events of that era.
I have worked in Dongguan for more than ten years, and I feel a sense of intimacy when I read this book! This is not a novel, but a memoir, a documentary! True and touching... You shouldn't have written Wang Lu to death so early! I hate you [cry][cry][cry][cry][cry][cry][cry]
I am familiar with the geographical scenes and living conditions of this book, and like Xiao Fan's good and "evil".
The story has ups and downs and is quite attractive, but the writing is a bit unsatisfactory. Worth reading.
