The novel takes Zhuang Jing's thirty years of work and life as the main line, and tells the story of marriage, family, and career from the perspective of a professional woman.
The full text tells the protagonist's experience in three age groups.
The first stage is from 22 to 30 years old, when employment is full of passion and stumbling, falling in love, getting married, and having children, happiness is bumpy and bumpy; the second stage is from 40 to 45 years old, the weight of the career gradually stabilizes, and the family flow is stable and entangled with trivial matters; the third stage is from 50 to 55 years old, when the career rises to the peak and begins to decline, and the family has grown-up children and married couples.
One of the storylines: There are many capable women, many talented women, but there are few capable, talented and accomplished women.
Zhuang Jing, director of the human resources department of Dagong Machinery Factory, is such a woman.
No matter how capable she is, middle-aged woman Zhuang Jing, like most married ladies, faces a mess in life and work. Faced with this mess, Zhuang Jing feels that it is better not to solve it than to solve it. If you untie one knot, there will be more knots waiting.
In the year when he knew his destiny at fifty, Zhuang Jing faced the biggest confusion in his life experience in his work and life.
Storyline 2: Lillian sensed that Zhuang Jing was unhappy and asked her what was wrong. Zhuang Jing did not hide anything and said she had a quarrel with Zhang Zhiyi. Lillian said softly: "You have been married for decades, so you don't have to get really angry when you quarrel. Let it go and don't mention it again when you get home."
Zhuang Jing looked at her pointed chin and asked, "Did Zhang Zhiyi pursue you?"
Lillian smiled faintly: "Why do you say that? Aren't you two introduced to each other by me?
Reader comments
Very well written! Flowing clouds and flowing water, retracting and releasing freely! ! [Like][Like]
Happiness managed with care will finally bloom😜😜
It's rare that the male protagonist is also sensible and not blindly filial.
Careful[smirk][snicker]
This novel tells the story of ordinary people's experiences of marriage and love. Really sad and romantic.
Marriage is also a place of spiritual practice for a person. The lack of communication in the marriage of the hero and heroine leads to further estrangement.
Zhang Zhiyi's bad-good character comes from his growth process. Details will be introduced later.
Lao Zhang is a type of man we often see around us. Macho chauvinism does not understand love, cannot love, cannot distinguish between different kinds of love, has reasons for whoever is weak, and sympathizes with whoever is weak, and has no principles and positions of its own.
You may say that he is wrong, and it is not a big fault, but sometimes it makes people hate him.
I am very helpless, I can't throw it away, but I can't bear to keep it. In the end, I could only sigh: Just make do with it.
This book is a little underrated on Tomato, and its real score should be around 8.5. This book is actually more suitable for publication. Due to the subject matter and writing method, fewer people will appreciate it.
The author is a very thoughtful person. Every sentence she summarizes about marriage and life in the book has a profound philosophical meaning. Only those who have experienced it can understand it.
The author is also a person with great writing skills. It can be seen that she really took reference from the writing method of "The Count of Monte Cristo". The main plot has ups and downs, and the subplots are exciting but not overwhelming. There are so many characters, so many plots, what is happening, and the past, she has arranged them all in an orderly manner, without being abrupt at all.
The portrayal of each character is also very three-dimensional, full of emotions, touching people's hearts, making people happy and angry at times.
However, the author's literary talent will be quite obvious in different scenes. When narrating, it will be a bit dry, when making a summary, it will be very meaningful, and when describing other situations, environments, and even weather and plants required for transitions, it will be very poetic.
I forget which chapter I almost gave up on. Maybe the villain in the book made me angry, maybe it was the twists and turns that annoyed me, but luckily I finished reading it. This book is really good, but I think the author still has room for improvement. It's not perfect in my mind. Come on, I hope your writing will get better and better! I also believe it will get better and better!
Life is not suitable, and the pattern determines your life. The fixed number is called fate, and the variables are called luck. Only by accepting fate and cultivating luck can you control your life. The heroine Zhuang Jing has achieved a lifetime of blessings with this attitude towards life.
I like reading this type of book, it is more realistic and the characters are very personal. It's smoky, not exaggerated, it's eloquent, but it still leaves people feeling like it's still unfinished.
Super nice book! It was quite touching, and I was moved to tears several times! Everyone's marriage and growth process are different, and there are imperfections of one kind or another, but whether it is marriage or work, what matters in the end is personality! Work hard to grow, be self-reliant and self-reliant, have a bottom line in doing things, don't get entangled in small things, give yourself the confidence to live, and understand the difficulties of others. Life goes by day by day. It is more confident to let yourself shine than to take advantage of others. Integrity and kindness are still the main theme of life. People who work hard and are kind will not have a bad life.
Very good, close to reality
I've learned that running a good marriage also requires wisdom! Thinking of my failed eleven-year marriage, I was still full of resentment when I decided to divorce, because I was the one who sacrificed in this marriage. I wanted to be a good wife, daughter-in-law, and mother. In addition to work, I focused on my children and family. I had no space of my own, and I was too tight on myself. I took on a lot of housework and used my own salary to supplement the extra expenses. The husband held his salary card in his own hands and did not do housework... The husband and his family members intensified their demands, which made me angry and picky... I was very angry and always internalized myself... Now I know that it was my stupid self-conception of being considerate that gave the other party the opportunity to hurt me and challenge my bottom line again and again. In the end, I was the only one who was moved by my careful management! ! ! In my love mind, I thought that I would live a good life with him, who had no house, no car, no savings, and the relationship that grew from scratch would be deeper and more reliable. However, eleven years later... I have a house, a car, a baby, and savings, and the marriage has indeed come to an end. In the words of the author: I used my bottomless tolerance in exchange for the other party's endless demands, and together we brought the marriage to the end!
Even if I gave everything, the other party took advantage of me, and finally wanted to take advantage of me before agreeing to divorce... I am deeply disappointed, and I can't blame anyone. Everyone has to pay the price for their wrong choices, but my price is very high. Although I am 37 years old and will become a divorced middle-aged woman, I still love life, get rid of love brains, and love myself more. Although the children are small, everyone has their own destiny, each life has its own suffering, everyone goes his own way, and everyone suffers his own suffering. I have tried my best. I just hope that I can live for myself for the rest of my life!
The author is very intelligent and has good writing style. I didn't expect the score to be so low. It seems that most young people read novels and don't like this kind of subject very much! Support the author, come on!
It's very delicate and close to life. It can be made into a TV series [laughing]
I must follow it every day, I hope the author will keep writing [laughs]
Reading this book will be helpful to your life. There are profound principles in it that are explained from the simple to the deep. I would like to give the author a thumbs up: write meaningful books and truly use culture to help people with positive energy.
Books have energy, and the energy of this book is quite high. Only people with life experience and a certain connotation can understand and appreciate it. I hope more people can see it and take a closer look.
Also, everyone can meet their most beautiful self. Feel the process of life peacefully and happily.
The rating is actually not high. I think the writing is very good. The characters each have their own charm. I like solemnity. Not all difficulties are worth it. Avoid people you don't want to see and avoid troubles and annoyances. I also agree! Lucky Zhang Zhiyi, who has a pure mind! Recommended for book friends, it does not procrastinate and does not deliberately create conflicts. Everything is how it is in life. Those who are willing to sacrifice for their families will always be embraced by their families. Those who are selfish will lose their true love.
The narrative seems very plain, each family has its own way of life, and sometimes there is a familiar feeling, and life is just like this... The relationship between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and various kinship relationships feel very real. I also live in Jinan, so friendly... There should be many weird people in life. There are some weird people in the article, but in fact they do exist in life. . Overall, I feel very good. The more I read, the more I feel it has a philosophy of life.
If it were made into a TV series, it would definitely be great.
Don't understand why such a low rating? In fact, the readability is very good. You might as well recommend it to your friends and let more people know about it.
Read slowly, there is a lot to learn.
Very well written, I don't know why the rating is so low
Likes to be dignified, transparent and comfortable in handling housework and work
I envy Zhuang Jing, who has sensible parents, a husband who loves her, and friends and colleagues who like her and have different personalities.
Although it is a highly summarized version of a parent's shortcomings, it makes its own judgment on human nature, especially the psychological counseling part of the article, which has guiding significance for family life and life development! A favorite work.
This is the first time that I can't wait to leave a comment before I've finished reading it. The author portrays Zhang Zhiyi's image so vividly. My father is the kind of person who, in his heart, his brothers, sisters, father and mother can surpass me and my mother. I call it foolish filial piety. As a child of this kind of person, I have always wondered why my father and mother cannot divorce. I have even thought about who I will be with after they divorce. I will uncharacteristically choose to follow my father instead of my mother. I don't want to be a burden to my mother. If my mother has a new relationship, it will be easier to take the next step in life. I will follow my father and control all his money. But it is a pity that my father and mother never made it to this point. This may be a realistic marriage. Even if the mother no longer has expectations for the father, she never wants a divorce for various reasons. After more than 20 years of long marriage, my father has changed, but only partially in his behavior. His heart has never changed. What first made me hate my father was the only in-depth conversation I had with him in years. My father attaches great importance to family relationships. If a relative is sick and needs to borrow money, he will always lend a helping hand. However, when he is sick, few relatives remember to come see him. I asked him if he didn't feel bad, and he said he felt bad. I asked again, why are you unhappy when your mother said something bad about your relatives? Isn't she trying to fight for your injustice? He said that he knew she was thinking about him. But he never said this to his mother once. Next, I asked him again, do you think some relatives treat you well? He gave me an answer that I had never thought of. He couldn't tell. It made me laugh. I would rather he remain as low in emotional intelligence as ever and not understand what his relatives are doing. As a result, his answer was not to tell me clearly that even if his relatives were so bad to him and no matter how good my mother and I were to him, in his heart my mother and I were still outsiders. At that moment, I finally understood my mother's helplessness and despair. It's a pity that novels are novels after all, and reality is reality after all. My father will not change like Zhang Zhiyi.
This is a very good realistic love and marriage novel. It is well written and the psychological description of the characters is very delicate. After reading the novel, I have gained a lot of insights into the relationship between husband and wife. Thank you to the author, but the updates are too few and too slow.
The author truly shows the psychology and daily dealing styles of men and women from all walks of life in China, including the relationship between husband and wife, parents, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, children, friends, colleagues... We are running back and forth in the web woven by various relationships, trying hard to maintain the balance of various relationships, which is exhausting, and the results are often unsatisfactory... So we must first be ourselves, establish a clear sense of boundaries, take our own core family relationship as the core, first improve the relationship between husband and wife in our nuclear family, and then the relationship between children and parents...
If you think about it carefully, aren't the characters in the book just ourselves and the people around us? [Laughs] Learn to be aware of and reflect on yourself from other people's stories, and make your life more comfortable and free [laughs]
It's so well written, the sad passages make me cry, and the humor makes me laugh out loud. Many ways of doing things make people learn and use them [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]
I like the author's super positive outlook on life. And the characters' personality traits are very obvious. The content is positive. Let us be full of hope for life. Have the courage to fight with life. I will continue to follow the author's other works.
In the author's refined writing style, I slowly feel that the author is revealing various aspects of the characters in life, and it is natural to associate and sigh with similar experiences in my past work and life. I greatly admire writers who can tell intricate character stories. Everyone has their own colorful experiences. Under the author's writing, he slowly connects past memories, overlooks everything in the past, and faces the present indifferently.
There are various ways of getting along between husband and wife in marriage, and everyone has different ways of pursuing a happy life, but few can change themselves and become their spouses! I hope people who watch it will be affected!
I don't know why this book has such a low rating. This is the first book review I've written after reading hundreds of novels on Tomato Novels.
The characters in the story are full of life. Super recommended
I like this work very much. There are many regrets brought by her husband in Zhuang Jing's life, but I have to say that Zhuang Jing is lucky because Zhang Zhiyi gradually discovered her own shortcomings and actively faced and changed them. As a person of the same age, I feel that men in this age group do not have the ability to change their already formed three views, so life at this time is only helpless. Come on, author!
It's really good to watch. Everyone has something they don't like, it just depends on how you deal with it. Some people will avoid problems, while others will face difficulties and turn adversity into good times. Every family has conflicts, big and small. Every family in the book is very interesting and real. They are like things happening around us, and I can learn a lot from them.
It's very interesting, and I feel like I'm actually there. When I read the book, I felt like I was a character in the book. Many of the characters have my shadow. I hope it will be updated more and more quickly, so that I can enjoy reading it.
Well written. Life is not just about flowers before the moon and under the moon, nor is it just chicken feathers everywhere. There are joys and sorrows, peaks and valleys. It is life that we carry with us all the way and work together.
It's very interesting. The author has good writing style and rich life experience. All kinds of people, all kinds of families, and marriages are described in detail and full of life. It brings people back to the past and those eras, and it is also very enlightening for life. There are a few typos, but the flaws don't hide the flaws.
A very profound book. If you calm down and watch it, you will get stuck in thinking. It is easy to understand but not very understandable. I think this is a book that will have different feelings and understandings at each stage of reading. For me, who is currently unmarried and not pregnant, it still has a big impact. It's worth reading twice. The author is very awesome👍
I don't know why the rating is not high, I watch it every day
