Looking for Novels Set in the 1980s About Rebirth!
I've been reading for years. I used to read tons of novels on Migu and pretty much finished them all. I loved stories like "Fortune Baby", "Farming in the 1970s", "Reborn in the 1980s as a Military Wife", and "Big Sister Runs the Household". I could even read them two or three times. No idea why, but these days I keep losing interest halfway through books.

This book is very heartwarming. It's insightful, and I read over a hundred chapters in one go. It's very good.
The book's content is a true reflection of that era, objectively reflecting the current lives of rural areas and farmers. Great! 👌🏻
Written by a fellow villager from Ningyang, this is a true reflection of life in the 1960s and 70s. Life was similar on both sides of the Wen River, but much worse on the north bank. I'll never forget the days when I was so hungry I couldn't sleep, and had to get up to drink cold water. 😢😢😢😢
It's a rebirth-themed drama that I enjoy watching; it's heartwarming and entertaining.
The family drama is generally good, but there are quite a few flaws in the thirty-odd chapters, which is a pity as it reduces the readership by at least 30%.
Well, it's a story about rebirth, but the characters don't seem to follow modern societal norms. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the book is pretty good. It's made me want to learn more about my parents' story.
Well written, it has a strong sense of the era! Please update more chapters soon!
It's very realistically written, reflecting the life experiences of that era. The romantic subplots are a bit rushed, perhaps due to some restraint. Overall, it's very good, comparable to Yu Hua's *To Live*! Keep up the good work! 👍
Out of 10, I'd give it 15. The author writes very realistically, and the values presented are quite positive. As someone who grew up in the countryside, I can really relate.
This book strives to recreate the social landscape of the 1980s. Most of the stories are adapted by the author from his own or his parents' personal experiences, or from stories that actually happened in his village. Some slang terms are incorporated from various northern dialects to highlight the rural context. We hope you enjoy it. If there are any discrepancies between the text and actual events, please feel free to point them out. Thank you!
