Synopsis

[One female lead] [Slice of life] [Romance-focused]

People on the internet are always reminiscing about their childhood. Chen Bing, a young man from a small town and one of them, discovered after his death that he had returned to the same town, twenty-four years earlier, to the day he was born.

In 2000, at the start of the twenty-first century, Jay Chou released his debut album. By 2002, his career was taking off.

After the dot-com bubble burst in 2001, home computers began appearing in cities large and small. That same year, China joined the WTO and entered a period of rapid development.

SARS broke out in 2003, the same year Shenzhou 5 launched successfully.

In 2005, LCD televisions entered ordinary homes. In 2006, the Shamate style became popular. In 2007, the first internet-connected smartphone appeared. The 2008 Olympics were a success, and Bilibili emerged in 2009, heralding a new phase in the development of China's ACG culture...

Urbanization, the internet, economic growth, and the popularity of cartoons and anime: everything was roaring through China at the start of the new century. But in towns and county seats, life remained much as it had been. There was no internet or computer, yet childhood was still joyful, filled with happy sounds in every sense of the word. The internet age wouldn't truly enter their lives until the 2010s.

As the times changed, Chen Bing picked up the past and experienced the joys of growing up all over again.

Great! I'm really looking forward to the middle and high school storylines, but there haven't been enough updates yet. However, the author has other things to do and can't write all the time. Keep it up, author!

It looks great. You can see how hard I spray books when you visit my homepage. But I really liked this book. The writing style is a bit light, but it's the kind of plain style that's very engaging and keeps you reading. The main characters, the female lead, and even the main characters' parents are all well-developed.

It's wonderful, truly wonderful. The characters, plot, and setting—all three elements of a novel are excellent. The emotions are portrayed with great delicacy; the everyday romance between the couple is sweet, and the poignant separations and life-or-death situations are deeply moving. The plot is also very engaging; it really feels like watching the male and female leads grow up. I hope the author updates soon!

This book is really good! The details are beautifully described, and it feels very slice-of-life. The author starts writing from the moment the protagonist is reborn back to his birthdate. I was also born in 2005, so I found it very relatable. The protagonist is currently only in kindergarten, and his childhood sweetheart has already appeared. The word count is a bit low, but I hope it stays that way.

The language, the interaction between the narrator and the protagonist, and the protagonist's inner world are all well integrated into the plot, making it very enjoyable for readers. Many readers may have a desire to be reborn into their childhood to make up for regrets, and this book perfectly satisfies that fantasy. The protagonist's clear-headed perspective on life's separations and deaths also resonated deeply with me.

The first few chapters about the grandmother's passing were really well written; they beautifully captured the helplessness and unexpectedness of life.

1. Very sweet|｡･㉨･)っ♡ 2. The plot transitions are good, and the writing is quite good. *^_^* 3. Aside from the relatively slow updates, there are currently no major drawbacks |･ω･`) (If there's anything I haven't added, please add it in the comments section ༼｡^･ｪ･^｡༽)

The author got boring and monotonous towards the end 😢😢. Actually, I knew this would happen from the title, because it's a common problem with novels that "describe life from childhood to adulthood." But I was drawn in after reading a few chapters; the author's writing in the early stages was so captivating. I kept reading until middle school when it started to lose its appeal.

It's very heartwarming. Aside from one slightly awkward depiction of the protagonist's inner thoughts, it's overall quite good. It's a pretty good slice-of-life novel. I think this novel has great potential; author, please don't abandon it! ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑ I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. (*´I`*) Keep up the good work, author! (˵¯͒¯͒˵)
