How is this a novel? It is clearly a reality that has been crushed into pieces by the urban fireworks and struggles of the lower class in Lucheng in the 1990s, and then mixed with blood and sweat to create reality. The protagonist, Ye Hua, has grown from being poor to being a pickle-eating pickle. He was awakened by a blind fortune teller to break into a side door, his secret joy when reselling food stamps, his embarrassment when he was chased by the city appearance team and he ran around in the middle of the night, and his cunningness in dealing with gangsters. Every step he took was on the line of survival of "if you are crazy about hunger, you dare to fight". The best thing is that none of the characters are paper figures: Blind Man Chen has a wit hidden in his words, Brother Dog's ruthlessness contains the stupidity of a low-level gangster, and even the lame Uncle Mouse who steals money becomes a heart-wrenching brother in the end. The plot is like a fuse tied to a firecracker. As soon as I make a little money, I'm reported. I'm betrayed as soon as I form an alliance. I'm trapped in a new situation just after I get a backer. It makes people's palms sweat when watching it, but they are hooked by the fierce temptation of "you have to fight for your life even if you die". There are no suspended cool writing routines, only the rough feeling of wading through the mud, and the smell of sweat, musty, and copper between the lines is full of real warmth. This is the era of the world that makes people want to stop!
In the 1990s in the novel, the author cleverly arranges some unforgettable plots in life to make the story more real and vivid, making people feel like they are actually there. I have read it twice in a row and will continue to read it. I will give it another five-star review when it is finished.
This book is so on point! The protagonist, Zhang Hua, is destined to be rich and specialize in eccentric ways, which is really cool! From flipping tickets to exploiting policy loopholes, every step is based on the undercurrent of the times. This kind of plot of "making a lot of money by wild means" is exciting to watch. I like this kind of feeling of getting rich without taking the ordinary way! The first person narrative is so touching! The protagonist's fierceness of "not making money in the right way, only eating meat in the wrong way" makes the ambition of the bottom class to get rich very real. Especially the attitude of "you will win if you love to work hard". Although he is taking a side approach, this kind of daring and daring energy is easy for people to relate to. I look forward to how he will play more tricks in the gray area in the future!
"The Age of Darkness" - an epic of struggle that witnesses the changes of the times With its distinctive characteristics of the times and vivid characterization, "The Age of Dark Tide: I Made Money by Going astray" shows us a vivid picture of social development during the reform and opening up period. The author "Tomato without Seeds" uses delicate writing to record an era full of opportunities and challenges, and shows the spirit of ordinary people's unremitting struggle in the torrent of the times. The most commendable thing about this book is its profound historical value and positive educational significance. Through the entrepreneurial journey of the protagonist Zhang Hua, the work truly reproduces the struggle story of a group of pioneering entrepreneurs who seized the opportunities of the times and had the courage to pioneer and innovate in the early days of reform and opening up. The experiences of the characters in the book are a true portrayal of those passionate years, allowing us to glimpse the historical trajectory of Chinese social development. The image of the protagonist Zhang Hua is full and real. He comes from an ordinary background, but has an enterprising spirit that dares to venture and fight; he has experienced setbacks, but has always maintained an indomitable will. This fighting spirit of never giving up is a vivid embodiment of the fine traditions of the Chinese nation. By showing his exploration and growth on the road to entrepreneurship, the work conveys the positive energy of "happiness is the result of struggle". From the perspective of literary value, the language of the novel is vivid, the plot is real and touching, and the characters are three-dimensional and full-bodied. The author not only tells a fascinating entrepreneurial story, but more importantly, through this story, he shows the tremendous changes in Chinese society since the reform and opening up. The accurate grasp of the background of the times and the delicate depiction of the fate of the characters in the work reflect the author's profound social observation and artistic expression. Overall, "The Age of Darkness" is an excellent work with profound practical significance. By showing the social development process in a specific historical period, it allows us to realize more deeply that an individual's destiny is always closely linked to the development of the times. Only by integrating personal struggle into the trend of the times can the value of life be realized. This work is both a review of the past and an inspiration for the future. This work allows us to see that on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, everyone can realize their life dreams through honest labor and legal business operations. It inspires us to cherish the present, look forward to the future, and continue to move forward bravely in the journey of the new era.
The blind fortune teller said that Zhang Hua could not make money in the right way, and he could only get it through sideways. This is the premise. In fact, from the chapters I have read so far, what I see is a small person at the bottom. Under the background of the times, through his keen sense of smell, he discovered fields or industries that others have not yet touched, and then through his own step-by-step efforts and unyielding will, he finally grew up. It seems to be a side business, but it is just because it is not well-known to the public. For example, by observing the different values of food stamps in different areas, buying low and buying high, and getting the first pot of gold from the difference in foreign exchange prices, and later collecting scraps, etc... These did not seem to be a legitimate industry at the time, but a side way to make money, and they are also normal businesses in today's society. It can only be said that Zhang Hua was the first person who dared to eat crabs. Of course, there were many twists and turns in the process. Without extraordinary courage and unyielding will, he would never have had the last laugh. Of course, there is also the kindness in his heart (the scene about Mouse Ming), which is also one of his weapons. It is a very good article, looking at how a small person at the bottom can climb to the top by sensing opportunities and working hard step by step.
The story of "The Age of Undertow: I Make Money by Going astray" tells the story of the protagonist Zhang Hua, who only believes in the dead truth that "you will win if you love to fight". He has seen through the world and determined that people who abide by the rules can only drink soup, and those who are bold and evil can eat meat. Therefore, he specializes in picking out the gray areas that others dare not touch, and does all the sideways that others look down upon. From reselling tickets to being a wolf with nothing, to exploiting loopholes in the business, he licks blood all the way. He will use the wildest way to find his own gold in the undercurrent of the times, use sideways to leverage wealth, earn a life of madness, and finally realize his arrogant declaration of "money makes money easy". Smooth writing and a narrative style close to life are one of the highlights of this book. Taken together, this work is a masterpiece of urban daily life. With its unique story potential, it brings readers an unforgettable reading experience. Therefore, it is highly recommended!
The story begins in the 1990s. The protagonist Zhang Hua, a young man who was idle and annoying to others, embarked on the road to wealth by picking up side jobs. The environmental dialogue is rich and vivid, with a strong sense of déjà vu and various imaginative ideas. Pretty good work. [Adoration][Adoration][Admiration]
The protagonist takes a wild path to break into the undercurrent of the times, from ticket scalping to empty-handed profit, stepping on the danger step by step. The writing is crisp and powerful, and the little character's counterattack is described heartily and vividly. It is full of pyrotechnics and power, and has a strong sense of substitution.
This book tells the story of the man Zhang Hua, who has his own luck in cheating and making money. He believes that "you will win only if you work hard", and relies on his intelligence to soar all the way... The story depicts the life of low-class people who rode the wave of the times in the 1990s and yearned for success and freedom. It is full of the atmosphere of human fireworks and is also a microcosm of an era. The author's writing style is smooth, the plots are interlocking, and the descriptions of various characters are delicate and vivid, which makes people's eyes bright and makes them unable to stop reading. Worthy of five-star recommendation [laughs][laughs][laughs][laughs][laughs][laughs]
Ambition and undercurrents are intertwined, and the protagonist fights for his life by taking a sideways approach. The story directly attacks the greed and survival laws of human nature, but hangs "success" on a moral tightrope, making people think deeply about the price behind wealth and the absurd undertones of the times. Very nice!
I have never read a novel with this theme before, and it was very enjoyable to read it in one sitting. Many of the scenes, plots and emotions of the characters mentioned in the author's book are very immersive and resonant. After reading many novels with illusory and fictional backgrounds, I feel that this one is very fresh and novel. I will continue to follow up on it. I give the author a thumbs up [like]
This is a documentary novel, very beautifully written. The novel is full of human fireworks, and the characters created are flesh and blood. The author has good literary skills and his language is fluent and popular. It is worth reading and recommending, and he will be given five-star praise!
Some readers said that they found this novel very comfortable after reading it on Tomato Novels for several years. The author noticed a lot of details, and it is a good article that breaks down the struggle at the bottom of the urban fireworks in the 1990s and mixed it with blood and sweat. It is worth reading. This book is so wonderfully written. It is the best book I have ever read. If I read it earlier, I would have saved myself a lot of detours. The concept is so great, we all know some of the little tricks on the street, but some of the tricks in it are really hard to understand, and we are shocked when we look at it!
In the sweltering heat of Lucheng in 1992, there was hidden the embarrassment and restlessness of Zhang Hua, a technical secondary school student. The poverty and the sorrow of being laid off in Tongzilou exploded in the conflicts in the market, and the survival anxiety of the little people under the torrent of the times was written in a hot and heart-breaking way.
The protagonist goes from flipping tickets to being a free hand, from policy loopholes to hugely profitable businesses. Every step he takes is in the gray area of the times, and he fights against the shackles of his background with the wild path of "you will win if you love to fight". This feeling of "licking blood from the edge of a knife" is essentially a realistic irony of "obeying the rules and drinking soup, and being brave and arrogant to eat meat", and gives a glimpse into the survival background of countless people in that chaotic era.
The plot of "The Age of Darkness: I Make Money by Going Sideways" has a fast pace, and is very attentive in describing the details of the "sideline" business in a specific era. The story style is distinctive and attractive. Readers who like this kind of subject matter can pay attention to its subsequent updates.
A very exciting novel, in which ambition and undercurrent are intertwined, and the protagonist fights for his life by going sideways. The story directly attacks the greed and survival laws of human nature, but hangs "success" on a moral tightrope. It is super interesting and highly recommended.
Only those who abide by the rules can eat soup, and only those who are bold and evil can eat meat! I haven't read the books of sages for a few years, and I don't understand the twists and turns of the truth, but I admit one thing: only if you love to fight, you will win! I dare to enter the gray area that others dare not touch! I'll do the sideways things that others look down upon! The novel reflects reality, guides readers to re-examine reality, and forms a resonance!
The story of the 1990s was very touching after reading it.
Dare to venture into gray areas and dare to take off-street paths. The protagonist, Kao Yeluzi, makes money in the undercurrent era. From ticket dumping to policy loopholes, wealth is soaring at the cusp of the storm, and the counterattack is full of excitement.
The story tells the story of the protagonist Zhang Hua's life in the 1990s when he dared to venture and fight, and struggled from the bottom. The author's description is very suitable for that era. My colleague, the author, also wrote the character of the protagonist with the tip of his pen. Many details were handled very well. It is a rare and good article. I highly recommend it! ! ! !
Really well written! The plot is full of ups and downs! Each character's personality is very distinct and unique! The author's writing is very delicate, especially the tension and excitement when the male protagonist escapes. The description is so spot-on that it feels like you are immersed in the situation! So pretty! Strong support!
I must praise the author for his great pyrotechnics in writing! The description of the underlying style is vivid and colorful, and the writing is delicate. Although the protagonist Zhang Hua is idle, he is very smart in dealing with people. It is really a masterpiece.
People who are partial to wealth do not live in peace and contentment. The protagonist Zhang Hua dared to think and act in that special era, and lived a transparent life. As the saying goes: The brave will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death. This novel explains it vividly and is so beautiful!
In the 1990s, Lucheng was filled with fireworks and a sense of endlessness! Zhang Hua's reluctance and struggle are too real. He graduated from a technical secondary school, his family is in a difficult situation, and his sense of rebellion is driven to a dead end by life. The fortune-telling talks about wealth and the inability to live comfortably, and it accurately touches on the desire of the little people of the era to break the situation. The writing is rough but powerful, full of the ruthlessness of the bottom's counterattack. It is a cool novel in the period literature, and the more you read it, the more you become obsessed with it!

Tearing away the illusion of "having to follow the rules and eat meat", the protagonist grows wildly in the gray area, exploiting the loopholes of the times and the information gap to the extreme. The truth about adult survival is revealed between the lines, and it is full of stamina. Five-star praise!
This urban novel tells the story of Zhang Hua, the protagonist, who gets rich through a side job. Although he took a shortcut, his determination to fight and forge ahead was reflected in his heart, reflecting the vivid footnotes of the lives of the little people of that era who were unwilling to be mediocre and strive to make progress.
This is an exciting and fast-paced book about making money in the era. The protagonist does not take the ordinary path and specializes in seizing the "sideline" business opportunities at the forefront of the times. He works step by step and gets rich quickly.
