Synopsis

This book continues the story of Mr. Lu Yao's celebrated novel Ordinary World. It mainly follows Sun Shaoan, one of the original novel's protagonists, and how he seizes opportunities amid the sweeping changes of his era, rising from prosperity to great wealth and eventually becoming the richest man in the Northwest. Though he grows rich first, he never forgets his fellow villagers or his country. He explores many ways to help and lead his neighbors and the people of his region toward shared prosperity. Guided by the principle that teaching someone to fish is better than giving them a fish, he ultimately leads his fellow villagers onto a sustainable path to prosperity.

Through the lives, fortunes, and struggles of its characters, this book aims to faithfully recreate the social climate and prevailing attitudes of the first thirty years of reform and opening up. It also strives to account for the later growth, development, and eventual fates of most of the characters in the original novel, while introducing a new cast of characters. Drawing on the author's own understanding of humanistic thought, ethics, and morality, it also hopes to offer a warning about certain troubling trends and ideas in today's world. The author welcomes criticism and correction wherever the book falls short.

Donghai Voice's "The World Looking Away Part 1" is like stepping into a new world derived from "The Ordinary World". This book inherits the classic and revolves around Sun Shaoan, allowing us to meet familiar characters such as Shaoping and Run Ye again and experience their new journey under the wave of the times. In the book, Sun Shaoan is struggling in his career while facing a heavy blow when his wife Xiulian is terminally ill. This dual pressure of family and career adds tension to the story. The author not only delicately depicts the inner struggles of the characters, but also incorporates the social changes in the thirty years before the reform and opening up. From the inauguration ceremony of Shuangshui Village Primary School to the TV news report on Sun Shaoan's deeds, every plot is full of the flavor of the times. Reading this book, readers can not only find resonance in Sun Shaoan's struggle, but also feel the ideals and responsibilities of young people of that era through the portrayal of characters such as Shaoping and Lanxiang. With its vivid characters and ups and downs of the plot, "The World in Distant Views Part 1" has become a masterpiece worth savoring over and over again, adding a new legend to the classic.

A sequel based on the original work, Jin Bo is also there, and Shaoan's mother is also there. It is more interesting than the abridged version of the TV series. Come on, please update more every day. One chapter is too few.
