Synopsis

At the end of the dynasty, He Weiqing enters the world of the Siheyuan and becomes the He family's eldest son, He Taiqing. In the fourteenth year of the Mingguo era, He Taiqing changes his name to He Weiqing and heads south with his wife. Through careful maneuvering, he becomes a regiment commander under Wan Lu. He takes in a handsome young man who makes baskets in the mountains, and meets a comrade named Dongfang Wei. From then on, the two support one another and work hand in hand. That same year, he maneuvers his way into the position of division commander under Zhishun. In the fifteenth year of the Mingguo era, the Northern Expedition begins. He Weiqing once again proves himself a master strategist, and transforms into the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Ninth Army. In August of the following year, gunfire erupts in the provincial capital of Jiangnan, and He Weiqing ties a red band around his arm. At the Jinshan rally, He Weiqing's troops are reorganized as the Third Army, with He Weiqing as its commander. At the military conference in Qianning Province, He Weiqing is appointed chief of staff. In the twenty-sixth year of the Mingguo era, the entire army is reorganized, and he enters the Secretariat... After the victory, he returns to the capital, the city of forty-nine, after more than twenty years away, only to find that everything has changed. His mother died in childbirth, his father ran off with a widow, one younger brother is thinking of running away too, and one nephew is a complete blockhead. In the 1990s, the Spring Festival Gala song “Good Days” becomes a hit across the country. He Weiqing praises his secretary: “That female comrade sings quite well. Good, very good.”

Looking for Courtyard Fics With Smart Characters, No Idiotic Stories

Not bad, quite interesting Write about big events, just go through it in the early stage. Don't cheat too outrageously or it's better not to cheat at all. I feel like you should focus on writing about the later period and those leaders planning the development of the country to avoid detours.

It's very well written. I hope I can finish it without interruption. It's best to speed up the plot, otherwise I'm afraid of being blocked. Due to force majeure, it's generally difficult to finish this kind of novel.

Give yourself a score, starting from Jinshan and walking through the passionate years, and walking through the war years in blood, fire and helplessness, with laughter, pain, helplessness, and tragedy. Walking into the peaceful era together, there are smiles, sweetness, bitterness, and tears. Finally... It won't be too exciting, and it won't be too awesome. It will try to portray the true inner feelings of the male and female protagonists in that era, and be close to the times. The story develops the country, but more often it unfolds like years of burning passion. Don't spray if you don't like it, and bring extra tissues to wipe your tears.

It's worth reading. I hope the author can keep it up. There are too few books of this type.

It is rare for a courtyard house to be written in this version. What I saw before was not the daily intrigues and daily fights for food and drink. Otherwise, I would hang around those female characters every day. To put it bluntly, these courtyard houses are the epitome of the truest life of the people at the bottom of that era. Looking at it, I most want to kill old Mrs. Jia as soon as she appears, haha. It's really like what everyone said, it's a concentration camp for animals. Hahaha. The author of this book continues the story of the courtyard house from another perspective. Let's see if we can suppress these demons and monsters.
