Reader comments
The novel objectively reflects that era. It makes people feel a little sad and a little happy. What makes me sad is that the poverty of the country at that time made that generation pay a lot. What makes me happy is that their efforts have gradually lifted our country out of poverty, allowing the current generation to have more choices and freedom. I wish our country will become more prosperous and our people will live and work in peace and contentment.
A good novel with a sense of the times, with concise language and compact plot. It is worth reading.
I read it in one sitting, and then looked for novels by Henan Niu to read.
