The writing is very real, and she is a girl who is suffering, but she has come through it all the way... Poverty has made many people feel it deeply... Failure in the college entrance examination has made many people deeply understand... In life, there are many similarities and differences... The story the author tells is very similar to the one I told, especially the previous chapters: I also failed the college entrance examination, and I repeated my studies for a year, but I didn't pass the exam... Unfortunately, I also went to a private university... Later, the school also sent us to work in coastal areas (in the Jiangsu area, I was sent to Kunshan at that time). The name of the work was very nice-called social practice. The school takes a 10% management fee from students' salaries every month. This is understandable, because they are not a public welfare organization... Later, I learned that you can also take self-study exams in Kunshan, and that's how I left that private university... Because the author has experienced a lot and her education level is not very high, she was able to write such a personal story with so many words at the age of 46, which is great! I also wrote a book called "Love Lost on the Wandering Road" based on my personal experience, hoping to share this encouragement with this sister! The difference between what I wrote and what this sister wrote is that I made up a large part of it [cover face][cover face][cover face] Love is long but paper is short, I wish my sister a happy writing book and a happy life! Five-star praise is given. I will take the time to read this sister's works later. Come on, sister! 😊😊😊
It is a very realistic documentary novel. The ups and downs and scoundrels of working people are vividly described in your writing. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. As long as you work hard enough and are prepared, you will usher in the fruits of a happy life. Ordinary people do not seek wealth, but only a peaceful life. I also worked in Shenzhen for six years before I wrote the two novels "Our Love Blows Over the South" and "Silicon Valley Dawn and Dusk Line". Although the characters and events in the novels are all fictitious Yes, without my experience working in Shenzhen, I would not have been able to write these two novels. If you have time, you can read the novels I wrote. There is also a novel called "Blooded Youth" which is a documentary about my military life as a soldier. It is all a record of my life in the military camp. Thumbs up for your work! Your life experience has been written into a book, you are amazing, thumbs up for you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I read 140 chapters in one go before commenting. This book gives people a very unsophisticated feeling, a heavy sword without an edge, a skill without craftsmanship. The title of the book is "Memoir", and the perspective of the writing style is indeed a memoir. It is all personal experience, which makes it so intuitive, real and immersive. Du Xiangxiang has a beautiful name, but she also has a bad native family and a bad husband's family. I admire the author's perseverance and hard work for his family and children. I look forward to seeing in the book that the author's eldest sister lives up to her name, and that even a piece of grass must emit its own unique fragrance. There is a place mentioned repeatedly in the book - Shijie, which was also my first stop for working. I'm a few years younger than Sister Vanilla, but I'm even luckier. My mother put me through college, but when I came out, college graduates who had expanded their enrollment were flooding into the market. The employment situation was still grim, so I just managed to survive. I am also writing the story of my own experience, "Past in Dongguan: Counterattack Between Screws and Lace," but I have made it a little fictional, for no other reason than that I don't want to affect my former colleagues and friends. I hope the author, sister, will have time to stop by and comment.
The story of this article takes place in Dongguan. Taking into account various factors, the addresses, names, and factories in the article are all pseudonyms. Please do not take it personally. Let us pursue those hot youth years in our memories together. According to the requirements of fans and friends, the real addresses of Dongguan, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen will be used in subsequent chapters. The factories and names of people will still be pseudonyms. Please do not take the seats for granted. For me, Dongguan is my second hometown. I have lived here longer than my hometown. I came here to make a living in order to survive, but I never expected that I would never be able to leave this land. The process of working hard when you are young is very difficult, but when you are middle-aged, you have a different feeling when you recall it. Everyone has a different situation. We are born at the bottom and can only rely on our own efforts. We are just passers-by in life. Since we are in the next life, we must let ourselves not leave any regrets and live this life in vain. Youth is gone, let us taste the bitterness and sweetness of migrant workers in different eras in our memories. Read other people's stories and experience the various flavors of life.
I read a similar novel many years ago, but I can't remember the title. It seems to be called "I am a Floating Flower." The familiar boyhood, familiar era, and familiar life experiences make people unable to put it down after reading it!
The writing is vivid and lifelike. If the author didn't experience it personally, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to create such an vivid picture. Follow DuZhuishu one-stop service [Like]
The description is delicate and fits the scene of that year!
The content of this book is simple and close to life. The characters are three-dimensional and truly describe the working life of young men and women in Guangdong! The protagonist Du Xiangxiang describes her many years of working experience in a true, concrete, tortuous and realistic way! Well worth seeing...? When looking for Mr. Jiang's signature, you should tell Mr. Jiang what Brother Zhou has done, and don't be polite to the villain.
It's more real. The author should have personal experience. It's a good book. We are also of the same age. I went to Dongguan once in 10 years. It was a business trip to the factory to inspect goods, and then I returned to Zhejiang in a hurry.
I really like reading novels that reflect social reality! I like to see this kind of ordinary people in a big environment, bit by bit!
