The pacing of the story is exceptionally well-controlled—a high-quality famine-relief and farming novel that I could never write. I have seen three families who fled together and have only settled down for a little over six months. To avoid spoilers, I won't go into too much detail. In short, all the characters around the female lead are useful.
So touching! The family worked together through the famine, keeping their secrets and not being overly kind, yet they were grateful to the benefactor who truly changed their lives. The baby was handled well; aside from secretly feeding her some milk and providing her with rice and oil to keep her from starving, there wasn't much else.
Overall, it's pretty good. The plot flows smoothly, and the character settings are fine. It's worth watching. Here are some shortcomings (this is just my personal opinion). 1. The "trash can" setting is actually quite good; I've read other novels where the "golden finger" is a garbage dump. I personally like this setting, but the author didn't utilize it well.
Seeing some comments in the comment section, I couldn't help but say that this story is really good. It's suitable for readers who like characters with realistic personalities. Everyone has their own little thoughts and stances. The female lead was just an ordinary person who worked hard in her previous life. She wasn't a special forces soldier/female CEO/assassin.
It's not bad; it has a tense and exciting pace, with a sense of overcoming difficulties and struggling to survive. The "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage) isn't huge, but it's a lifesaver for those fleeing famine. However, there are moments where the female lead laments about the baby's bad luck and miserable life. I feel like the female lead is barely able to save herself, yet she's still being so compassionate; it just feels a bit like that.
The author portrayed the original protagonist's family's relationship so beautifully that the protagonist's solitary death at age six seemed all the more tragic. They were unaware that their younger sister and daughter were dead, and that the soul now belonged to a modern adult woman. The original protagonist's parents couldn't even erect a tombstone or pay respects at her grave.
Why such a low score? I think it's much better than many cheesy and sentimental books, and the overall flow is very smooth. There are many foreshadowing elements that make you want to read on! I stayed up two nights in a row to finally catch up!
The writing is quite good and readable. The author retains compassion for their characters, which is a big plus. The only downside is that the plot devices become increasingly overpowered later on—everything they plant grows successfully, everything they sell becomes a hit, and they always seem to get a 50% discount… it gets a bit tiresome.
The female lead's "golden finger" (advantage point in the story) isn't particularly strong; it just serves as a safety net, and the gradual improvement in life is the result of everyone's efforts. The character development is excellent. Zhu Chun, in my opinion, is the best-developed character, perfectly embodying a village aunt from a poor family.
This is a refreshing ancient Chinese famine relief and farming novel. Told from the perspective of a six-year-old girl, the story delicately depicts the hardships and warmth of the protagonist's family on their escape journey. Along their arduous journey, natural disasters and man-made calamities occur constantly, but the author doesn't deliberately emphasize tragedy.
