Lu Yao’s Ordinary World is a great work of realism. The era it depicts has gradually receded into the past, and many details rooted in its time may be difficult for younger readers to understand. Yet the characters’ resilience and determination to keep striving through hardship still shine with the light of humanity. That is why it remains one of the most frequently borrowed books in university libraries.
After reading it, it’s hard not to be left with regrets, such as Tian Xiaoxia’s death and Xiulian’s passing. Beginnings must end, and birth must be followed by death. These are inevitable parts of history, yet they still leave us sighing with sorrow.
Art comes from life, but rises above it. Perhaps, in the author’s mind, their deaths were unavoidable. It is said that after Lu Yao killed off Tian Xiaoxia, his “white moonlight,” he himself could not help but weep. Did it really have to be that way?
The book portrays how people’s fates changed amid the rural social transformations on the northern Shaanxi plateau from 1975 to 1985. Looking back now, we can see that the world changed even more dramatically in the years that followed. Viewed across a longer stretch of time, the era and family backgrounds may have shaped the characters’ personalities and destinies, but rapid social progress opened up more possibilities for them. All they needed was for God’s hand to give fate a gentle nudge at a pivotal moment in their lives, and they might have made a different choice. Their lives could have turned out differently. Perhaps they might even have reached a wider world.
This is a transmigration novel, with no System and no golden finger!
It's hard to get what you want, and it's hard to calm down. When we reach middle age, we gradually gain experience. This time we are free of trouble. With God's perspective, we have fewer regrets. The story is eloquent, the picture is very strong, I look forward to continuing. What women in the new era are good at is not instant noodles, they can also boil boiled water well, haha 🤭
Yes, one of the few mundane world fanfics. To be honest, it's not easy to write. Tomato readers prefer refreshing articles. It's not because the readers are superficial, but because everyone lives a very tiring life. Need to relax. The Ordinary World is a realistic theme, quite real, but very heavy to read. This fanfic is not systematic or exaggerated. The author probably wants to express some of his thoughts on life. So the story is mixed with a lot of my own insights. People who want to read refreshing articles may find it a bit preachy. But if you savor it carefully, it still makes sense! Come on, try to update, I want to see the final fate of the mission.
I have loved this book since I was in school. There are very few other people writing it, so it's okay. Come on!
There are very few fanfics about "The Ordinary World" on Tomato, and there are many in Siheyuan. It is probably because Siheyuan is easy to write a cool novel, but Ordinary World is difficult. To write a cool novel, it is better to write a new one. This book is pretty good, the writing is online, and the story and ideas are basically close to reality. I hope I can continue writing. Change the protagonist's fate!
There are a bit few Ordinary World fanfics, but this one is pretty good.
The writing is good. Tian Xiaoxia and Sun Shaoping are attracted together because of their spirits. Now Sun Shaoping has Tian Runsheng. What should I write next? If Hao Hongmei doesn't write it down, it's best not to appear in the future.
Very well written. As far as ordinary people's lives are concerned, it feels very close to reality. The author's writing style is also good. I have also read several Ordinary World fan fiction, and I feel this one is the best. Come on, author, keep updating.
Super pretty
Rigorous, skillful digging, reconstruction, and smoothness are like clear springs flowing into the heart, so painful and so happy!
Come on, I just don't know who Runsheng's other half will be.
