Reader comments
In the era when my parents lived, life seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy veil, and every step was heavy and difficult. At that time, for them, the gate of university was as far away as thousands of mountains away. Going to university was just a luxury hope that could not be fulfilled in their dreams. Looking back now, the years are quiet and the world is stable. We live in an era full of opportunities and hope, with resources and conditions that they dream of but cannot find. Therefore, we should know how to cherish the present, live up to this hard-won happy time, write our own chapter in the gifts of the times, and let the unfinished dreams of our ancestors shine in our struggles.
If you have been moved by the ups and downs of ordinary people in the tide of the times in "The World", and were shocked by the profound portrayal of suffering in "The Long Season", then this "Melodious Song of the Boiling Factory" is definitely worth reading.

Even in the storm of state-owned enterprise restructuring, when factories went bankrupt and workers were laid off, she remained as firm as a rock, leading laid-off workers to join the supermarket business and break out of the predicament to create a new world.
In addition to Zhang Lina, her classmate and roommate Jiang Shuhua and literary young man Liu Danyu are also impressive. Jiang Shuhua was determined to get ahead, so he left the chemical fiber factory early to go into business. He went through ups and downs in the tide of the times.
