Old man, the routine is a bit old-fashioned, but it is better than 90% of Siheyuan novels. I feel it is about 8.7 Points. It is good without a system 👍 👍
How can a fisherman run a factory and be blamed for all kinds of things? How many factories do you want to open?
It's a very good Siheyuan novel. It doesn't always get entangled in the maggots of the Siheyuan. It's a story about little people and a big era. The protagonist is a bit glib and stupid in the early stage, but it is interesting to slowly grow up later on. You know the big guys when it comes to fishing, but some people may think that this is a bit of a poisonous thing. Moreover, the protagonist is interspersed with major historical events, which feels like Forrest Gump.
This novel can be written well. For example, now the director of the factory is parachuted in. This can be written happily. It can be written that two people fight each other. In the end, Chen Changan loses and becomes a section chief, or has no official status and then the factory has problems. Needless to say the rest, right? In fact, you say that if the people ask you to do it, you will continue to do it, and if you are asked to leave, you will leave. From the perspective of the overall situation, it is due to collective pressure. In fact, everyone will want to have their own interests. For example, if you want to eat a better meal tomorrow, but you can't afford it, that's not impossible. You always want to get it.
Watch it every day, there's nothing wrong with it I'm starting to abuse the owner. It's no fun.
I still want to read it, so you should hurry up.
This is my favorite Siheyuan novel this year, no, my favorite among all the Siheyuan novels I have read. There is always a faint sense of sadness when reading this book, as well as a gray and white filter for that era. If other novels are pyrotechnics, well-written works are masterpieces, but this book describes the background of the environment of that era. The protagonist is rarely happy when he truly belongs to himself. The author's writing style is like a narrative, which is not a good writing. But it is consistent with the cultural relics I saw in the museum and the appearance of the mottled old buildings. That sentence, the passionate years of the 1960s, said nothing for thirty years.
Okay, the plot is very good. Although it is a courtyard, there is not much nonsense. The main thing is the protagonist's own development. Although some things do not make sense logically, this is a novel, so don't hold on to it.
Good book, but you can first develop freight tricycles. This is needed by both the third world and China. The difficulty is much lower. It is not suitable for long distances but it is enough for short distances. Cars are too complex and take too long to put into production
What about the system? Doesn't it mean there is a system? How many chapters are there? I've read chapter twenty-eight and I haven't seen any shadow of the system.
