Reader comments
The story is wonderful, the protagonist's life is full of ups and downs, and the four dimensions of old age, middle age, adulthood, and youth are interspersed and narrated, and the plot is fascinating. On the wind terrace, we look forward to the development of the relationship between Rongchang and Suping; while in the depths, Rongchang and Huilan meet unexpectedly and become complicated and confusing... Rongchang's grandmother's family confession, cousin Shuqing and Guiying's foreshadowing, Feng Lin's transfer to his hometown, etc., Make the story more full, and the fate of three generations of family characters is intertwined with bitterness and joy. I particularly like the chapter where the raft on the water travels from Laoweiping to Meicheng. The description of the scenery along the coast makes it seem as if the reader is immersed in the raft, blowing the wind of the Xin'an River, admiring the scenery on both sides of the bank, and rushing with the river.
I read the first 8 chapters in one go, and I'm in the process of updating.
It has the weight of history and the power of expansion of life. The characters in the article are kind and tenacious, never complain about life, and work towards a better future together...
