Reader comments
I like "Autumn Garden" and feel that the style of this book is very similar. Even more literary.
Very Sichuan and Chongqing flavor
The design of using double memory tracks to support the third generation narrative perspective is like building a glass bridge across the gap in time, allowing one to see clearly the flesh and blood of history and feel the body temperature of the present.
Stay alive! Be alive! Live!
Following the author's writing, I walked into different eras one after another... Suddenly, I found that I was also in my own era [Like][Like]
The protagonists of the story keep changing, allowing us to witness that it is the Shen family who are under the torrent of the times [love] [love]
The characters are full-bodied and vivid on the page, and the writing skills are strong. It's a good book.
The characters are described in detail, as if the author has experienced every era. The writing is very vivid, and life is not easy.
After reading this book, I immediately searched for the words "Shen Qingzhou". He happened to be live broadcasting and chatted online for a long time. He is a very gentle person.
