The "Returning to the City Era" refers to the 1980s, which is the most special era in China.
After the educated youth returned to the city, they were basically in their thirties. For the second time, a whole generation faced no jobs, no housing, and no education. In their forties, they were unemployed and laid off. The path of life has been sad, confused, hesitant, and even despairing.
However, the life background experienced by the educated youth has made them strong after all! They struggled and worked hard on different paths in life, and finally found their place and belonging.
Reader comments
I really hope to see more books like this. It's so well written. I'm still unsatisfied after reading it. It's very touching.
A period of burning passion
Through this book, I have the honor to witness the history of educated youth. The various characters and their experiences in the book make us realize the opportunities and misfortunes of one generation after another, and also witness the pride and sadness of one after another Chinese young people from growing up to becoming talented and then taking charge of their own business. We understand history in order not to forget it. We hope that under the leadership of the party, Chinese youth can solidify their minds, develop their skills, invest in industries, and contribute to the great rejuvenation of our country.
The hard years and the arduous journey are not easy for a generation [crying]
So well written! The author has a wide range of knowledge, come on!
It is wonderfully written and makes you feel like you are living in the novel. However, I feel that the ending of the protagonist in the novel is too bland.
Tribute to lost youth
I feel so deeply that I really want to go back to the 1960s and 1970s.
We old educated youths like this book very much.
