This is a realistic and emotional article full of true feelings. The author's language is plain and delicate, and the psychological profile of the characters is vivid, telling us the magnificent growth history of an abandoned baby girl. Continue to follow 👍
"Wild Chrysanthemums in the Storm" tells the story of the hard life of a little girl in the 1970s. He had no support, lived in a shabby house, was hungry, and was bullied at school. But this girl is like a wild chrysanthemum, which can sprout from the cracks of stones. The author Shui Wenqiu uses line drawing-like strokes to eloquently tell the story of this girl's growth. The sense of immersion is very strong. Especially since this little girl has suffered so much, she still smiles when she sees others. This energy is so poignant. Although the story is not long, it is full of heart-wrenching true stories. This is not only one person's struggle, but also the epitome of everyone in that era gritting their teeth and living their lives. As soon as I closed the book, I felt that no matter how difficult it was, as long as I had the determination not to admit defeat, I could get through it. This is an extremely valuable book that I read this year, and it deserves an absolute 5-star rating.
This is a book that I really like. The story is very touching. From Xiao Ju's childhood to her old age, I really worried about Xiao Ju's growth. Xiaoju's life is a mirror of China's patriarchal preference. It not only reflects human nature, but also illuminates people's hearts❤️
Under the pen of Shui Wenqiu, "Wild Chrysanthemums, No Tears" slowly unfolds the heavy reality of the countryside in the 1970s. The haze of family planning and son preference caused Xiao Ju to be forgotten by love as soon as she was born. Fortunately, her grandmother's love became the glimmer of light in her bleak childhood. Grandma's dying wish was for Xiaoju to encourage herself with wild chrysanthemums and start a journey of strong growth alone. The author uses simple words to outline the rural scene, and vividly depicts Xiaoju's suffering and tenacity. This is not only a personal growth history, but also a profile of the times, allowing us to see the unyielding power of life in difficult situations. It reminds us that no matter how bad the environment is, as long as we have hope, we can bloom with unique splendor in the wind and rain like wild chrysanthemums.
This book is really very good-looking. It is a period novel that is close to real life. The period novels I have read before were either time travel or rebirth. I like this kind of period novel with realistic themes!
It's so beautiful. My eyes were blurred with tears. It's so real.
It's a good book, but the rating is a bit low. It's very down-to-earth. I have to recommend it.
It was so well written that I shed tears just reading it.
Very well written! Big cheers for the author!
Xiaoju, poor child, I wish you peace and success for the rest of your life.
