Reader comments
Highly recommend this thoughtful and good book [Like]: The warmth of this world comes from the weakest kindness that is not valued!
Hope is filled with despair, and despair is filled with hope. This is a good book worthy of the Mao Dun Literary Award, with profound and real characters and a touching plot. This is the most touching article I have ever read. Thanks to the author for allowing me to relive the true beauty and cruelty of this world
Great book! I read it in one sitting, and I still have more to say. The characters are clearly drawn and the psychological description is clear and in place. The only regret is the death of Kyoko. Such a kind and intelligent woman did not want to see the author give her such an ending.
The story is interesting and thought-provoking! In that era, families with many children, especially boys, had a harder life than the average family! There are quite a few families with seven or eight children! I am the seventh child in this family! Also the smallest. However, there are five girls and two boys in our family, the eldest sister, the eldest brother, the second brother, then the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister and me. There are nine people in our family. Oh my God, it's scary to think about it! Therefore, when I got married later, I decided to only have one child! My point of view is: to contribute to the country, a good training is enough! Think about the hard work of being a mother! Thinking about it, it will be very hard for me after becoming a mother! Alas, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!
I read the entire book with tears in my eyes! Surreal writing techniques, realistic and vivid character descriptions, and distinctive personalities.
My grandmother is kind and open-minded, my father is weak in character and doesn't know how to adapt to the world, but he is kind, friendly, non-arbitrary and caring towards his children. My mother is fierce in character but smooth in life, and she dares to do things and work hard to support a family. She has also created seven sons, all of whom are distinctive, affectionate and righteous men who are upright and worthy of their conscience.
Waiting for the author to create another masterpiece!
The emotions are so delicately written. At first I thought it was a vulgar campus work, but the more I watched it, the more I couldn't stop. It was the feeling that goes straight to the soul. In this life, complicated people are complicated, and calm people are naturally calm. It reminded me of reincarnation...
A very touching book, with distinctive characters, simple language, and real details, it depicts for us the fate of several families and a group of people during a special period. The mother and eldest son of the Guan family, Xingzi, the sister of the Guo family, and the Aqiao of the Ding family are all ready to come out and soar like life. Although we are disgusted with the violence and impulse of killing, the young people of that era still have a clear distinction between love and hate and the courage to act and dare to act. Especially Guan Guan's upright attitude and Ah Qiao's character are worthy of our respect. Qiao's courage to love and hate, Xingzi's gentleness and kindness, Guan Mu's decisiveness in killing, these ordinary people are the epitome of an era. I sincerely hope that these outstanding qualities of the Chinese nation, such as bravery and perseverance, justice and responsibility, pursuit of happiness, perseverance, etc., Can still blossom and bear fruit now and in the future!
People in the 1960s and 1970s will feel like they were children when they read this novel. Most of the actions of these children are the experiences of our youth. Every scene is so familiar. The joys and sorrows of the characters are moving. We like the author but hate the author's cruelty. Is it true that only the pain of kind and lovely people can make the work profound?
It's a good book. The outstanding portrayal of each character makes people feel the life of that era. It has a strong sense of picture and the ending makes people endlessly daydream and is unconventional. Seven Brothers reminds me of the TV series "Six Sisters".
What a great novel. The most touching thing is that the sincere emotions and simple words truly and vividly present the lives and destiny of ordinary people in that era. It made me unable to calm down for a long time. I just wanted to ask the author, even if the ending is superfluous, why is it so abrupt and blank?
The article was smooth and eloquent, and it was so touching that it made me shed tears. I couldn't put it down after reading it. I didn't go to bed until one o'clock in the morning for two nights. I am a book lover but I have a high eye. I read many works and basically just glance at them. Hua, read it and stop reading it, stop reading it halfway, let me introduce you, give it up after reading it for a few pages, read it and give it up again, it is a good work that makes me read it and can't bear to put it down. I want to like this book, it is also the best work I have seen this year!
Being able to encounter a novel you like is a kind of luck, and now such luck is becoming less and less. The characters in the novel are all a group of people who work hard to live. They love life, have sincere emotions and full images. The use of the first person gives weight to the psychological description. In a difficult life, there are kind people, a warm home, and rational thinking. It reads smoothly and smoothly, which is very good. Meeting is a blessing.
It's really well written, has a sense of the times, is objective and true, and touching.
The writing is realistic and a bit like a literary novel, and the social environment at that time was indeed true. The author uses detailed techniques to describe the story as if he were actually there.
It is so well written. Every character has a vivid life. Kyoko is the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty. The first few shy descriptions make the readers feel sympathy and love for her. Such a person who loves his husband wholeheartedly is also a reflection of the author's and our pursuit of sincere feelings.
It's a bit narcissistic but it actually describes the events of that era. If you have experienced that era, you will know the hardships and difficulties of growing up. The author's writing style is simple and the narrative is smooth. He uses this documentary technique to write about the characteristics of that era, which is deeply memorable. Thank you author!

I stayed up all night to read it, and at the end I was heartbroken and shed tears...
The author is a person with experience. In that era, those people each had their own way of life. My favorite character is the mother. She is the real backbone of the family [Like]
There are no ornately carved embellishments, and the simple words slowly unfold the richness of life. Every character is so vivid and vivid, and it makes your blood boil with joy and sorrow when you read it.
A very evocative book! There are many places where you can find what you looked like back then!
After reading it, I shed a lot of tears! The utmost affection, the utmost sex, there is love in the world!

The writing is beautiful and true
