Matchmaker for the Top Scholar

The author uses a unique perspective and delicate writing style to tell the story of a family, which made me feel the customs and customs of Beijing. The characters in the book are all vivid. I especially hate the bald middle-aged man and think he is hypocritical. This reminds me of Jia Zhen in "A Dream of Red Mansions", who is sanctimonious on the surface but does shady things secretly. However, this book is different from "A Dream of Red Mansions". It is more down-to-earth and makes people feel like they are listening to the story told by the uncle next door. All in all, this is a book well worth reading.

It is a very realistic family portrait and the history of the ups and downs of the royal family. It is a rare masterpiece of Beijing-style literature. Using opera as the warp and weft, we weave a wonderful story covering dozens of characters and more than half a century. The characters are full-bodied and the story is full of twists and turns, making people sigh in admiration. In particular, the description of the life, food, and language of old Beijingers is delicate and very distinctive, which arouses people's aftertaste and yearning.

The writing is smooth, and it reads smoothly. It is an excellent reading experience~ The dramatic arias are connected with the character stories, which are interlocking and fascinating. Very realistic description, understanding the living conditions of big and small people in that period, a moment of the era is a person's life, sad and touching!

I read a story about old Beijing before, and then the software recommended this book with a similar historical background. I wrote about a lot of people and things around me, and the stories lasted for a long time. It gave me some understanding of the history of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the early liberation. What attracted me more were the stories of those vivid and lively people, free and easy, cowardly, educated, businesslike, loyal, and indifferent. These all kinds of people are much more than I have come into contact with in reality. Today we are all communicating on mobile phones. There seems to be some distance between people and there is always suspicion hidden. After reading this book, it feels like I have met some real people. It is more tender than my real life.

Beijing's nearly one hundred years of history is presented through the fate of a family. It is an immersive read, with joys and sorrows intertwined. Different characters are swept up in the torrent of the times, and the story ends with helplessness and hesitation. After seeing Yaya's fantasy scene after returning home, she burst into tears. She was once the most beloved youngest daughter in the family, but she had been wandering outside for forty years without a home. When she returned home, she was no longer a human being. She was the only one left in such a large family. No one could resist the fickleness of fate.

This novel is full of Beijing flavor. Ye Guangqin (qin is pronounced the same as qin), a descendant of the Manchu royal family, separates the life of old Beijing from the heavy history and presents it to us. The meaning of reading is endless. I started to like the author's writing style from this novel, and he is worthy of being a descendant of everyone.

The author's writing style is very sophisticated. As the story unfolds, the readers can understand the different levels of life of old Beijingers in that era, making it difficult to put down the book. Having read the author's "Family Portrait" and this book, I will read "Picking Mulberries" immediately. As a bookworm of over 50 years, I highly recommend this book.

There are many truths among the people that we cannot realize in the bustle and hustle and bustle. Maintaining a normal attitude towards life, maintaining a peaceful temperament, and plain writing can achieve the ultimate in people and writing. It is more appropriate to use the author's original words to comment

This book witnesses the prosperity and failure of a family and the wandering life of each family member; the youngest himself, who is loved by both inside and outside the family, has also experienced the loss of every life, feeling helpless, powerless and lonely. This should be the case in every life. This should also be a law of conservation of energy!

It has a long meaning and can be read in one sitting. It is very interesting and interesting.
