Half a Lifetime of Passing Years

I haven't seen such a good novel in a long time. The writing is delicate and full of emotion. A little boy's childhood is so vividly displayed in front of the reader that it feels like being there. After only reading the first six chapters, I can't help but give it a good review. 🤭👍🌹

The beginning may be too straightforward, describing a child's happy childhood, but things get more exciting starting from Chapter 10. In order to create a sharp contrast, I have to give up some eye-catching beginnings, and I hope you will forgive me. The later it comes, the more exciting it becomes, the angrier it gets, and the more I want to throw my phone, haha. It truly reproduces the life course of Zhang Xiaoji, an unfortunate born in the 1980s. Only by experiencing it can we know that life is full of ups and downs and helplessness. Reading a book is like getting to know a person.

I was still very moved after reading the whole book. The atmosphere in the book made me always worried that bad luck would happen to the male protagonist😁Zhang Xiaoji's original family, from the time when his father thought about having a child and selling it to make money, he felt that this was a family with bad views. It gradually turned into a fight for power and ruthlessness. Fortunately, he did not do domestic violence to his wife and children, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Zhang Xiao had a happy childhood. He was always a bright, bright and confident child at least in the lower grades of elementary school. However, later on, he was gradually influenced by his native family, both mentally and physically, and gradually accepted the situation as he pleased. His life was hopeless, without dreams and motivation, and he spent his high school and college years in this abyss. Every time he regained his confidence, his parents brought him back to reality again and again. It was a pity and abomination. After graduating from college, he actually had a few years of his own highlights, which was also a period of rapid development in the great era, but he did not seize the opportunity. Whoever does not make mistakes in youth, he made mistakes again and again in the youthful hormones. At this time, the gap between his peers became more prominent, from the changes in his hometown to the differences in the cars and lives of his peers. He had no plan, squandering his most youthful and energetic years in a haphazard manner, acting wantonly in love... Maybe this is the most ordinary story of ordinary people, but it is also particularly regrettable. After entering the factory, Zhang Xiaoji's personal feeling began to gradually improve. He worked under such harsh conditions until the expiration of the contract. He admired his perseverance and stopped messing with the relationship between men and women until he returned to the field and lived a transparent person. After going through twists and turns, you finally find peace.

The psychological description is very good, and the description of rural life is also very realistic. I just feel that people nowadays are too open-minded and too casual, probably because they are getting old. Also, the protagonist is very smart, but has no ideals, but I haven't finished it yet and saw the divorce chapter. The writing style is simple, the feelings are sincere, and real life and real problems are explained in detail. When I was young, I made ignorant and wrong choices, followed the trend of my thoughts, suffered from endless pain, tried hard to succeed but always failed... I have experienced all these, so I feel the same way. Now that I am about to reach the age of knowing my destiny, I still achieve nothing and have nothing, but I am suffering from illness. Now I have also looked away, do what I like, live one day at a time, do everything I can and let fate, do not force everything, and forcing is useless!

Very nice, short and concise,

That's pretty good, otherwise why would I have read it in the middle of the night?

It's very interesting and records the growth experience of a generation. It made me see my own shadow, the hardship and helplessness of rural people coming out.

An unfortunate native family and an unfortunate person live their lives. The writing is very good. The snake that was beaten to death in childhood appears throughout the text. It is mysterious but has no results.

The story is very simple, but the simple ones are often the most valuable [smile][smile]
