I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.

Write about the world, write about the market, and write about people living in chaos. Good writing is rare in Tomato, with no hostility and plenty of compassion. It truly describes the state of an ordinary modern person who traveled to the late Qing Dynasty and struggled to survive, but he did his best without touching the red line. The finish is quite good. Treat everyone as a human being and write as a human being, without discrimination or narrow-mindedness. Rare.
This is a truly good book! I have just read more than 300 pages. The description of the life of the lower class banner people in the capital in the late Qing Dynasty is true. The language is like Mr. Lao She's, natural and vivid. Come on, author!
We finally won. It was so sad to see it before. I didn't understand why we didn't want war reparations. Later I heard that it was for the sake of fair and just revenge in the future. I hope this day comes soon! This book is so well written that I stayed up late for several days reading it and couldn't put it down at all.
It's quite interesting. An ordinary person came to the end of the Qing Dynasty and was swept away by the torrent of the times. Unlike other similar novels, the protagonist knows everything and is the best in the whole book. I really like the author's description of the various scenes of the market in the late Qing Dynasty. It's just that the more I look back, the more I feel like the protagonist group looks like a gay group...
A very interesting book, about how an ordinary person with some skills can rise and fall soberly in the great era. The only novel of this type that I have read so far. The characters are clearly drawn and have not strayed off track so far. The character stories advance step by step along with the historical process of the great era, integrating life and events very well. Do your best, live steadily, and work hard.
This book is okay. Finally, there is nothing anti-Qing revolutionary. I just lived in the Qing Dynasty and I like reading this kind of book.
This is a continuation of "Under the Red Flag"! The author has completed the unfinished masterpiece of Mr. Lao She. What he writes in his pen is not only the joys and sorrows of these characters, but also the magnificent stirrings of an era! Perhaps this book does not meet the taste of online readers, and the title also conceals its profound meaning, but it truly restores a part of history, and makes everything of that era, along with the daily fireworks of the characters' parents' lives, come alive before our eyes. The first half of the book is as warm as water and as mellow as wine, making people smile from time to time. The second half is a generous and elegiac song that often makes people burst into tears and find it difficult to suppress their passion. This is a truly good book. It has broken away from the realm of ordinary Internet articles and has reached the realm of literature. Come on, author!
This book is so well written that it took me a few days to read it, as if I had experienced the ups and downs of that era. Huang Chen, Liu Junsheng, and Zhang Jun are all so vividly present that they even outshine the protagonist. It's been many years since I've read such a long novel from beginning to end. The cruelty of war and the suffering of ordinary people are not written specifically, but the lines are also sad to read. Rarely good article. Thanks to the author [love]
Tell the truth without hesitation. It is a rare good book in Tomato and is very suitable for filming TV series. From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, from the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation, Fu Ning led a group of young and old men around him for several generations, and took his agricultural experimental field forward on the vigorous road of saving the country. After experiencing the darkest moments, the dawn of victory was about to come.
It is really documentary, different from ordinary time-traveling novels, there is no exaggerated golden finger, it is all step by step, the ordinary and ordinary little people are in the rough waves, every character is very real, and the serious and affectionate people are on the surface. Uncle Lian, Third Master Fu who screws everyone together, the resourceful Uncle Xu, Wu Qing who has been worried about by Guan Liu for ten years, Fu Chuang who wears a fake beard and pretends to be an adult, Guiping who is coming soon, Luo Feng who is learning from Uncle Lian's folding fan... Really everyone has flesh and blood, as if projected through the screen in front of my eyes, the group portrait is really good [crying]
