This is a book that becomes more powerful the more you read it. It writes about the difficulties in ordinary people's lives, but it also hides the most touching tenacity, including the trivialities of daily necessities, the confusion of encountering difficulties, but it always carries a passion for life and an unwillingness to admit defeat. The author does not deliberately sensationalize, but through small things, people can experience the sparkle of ordinary life. The rhythm of the plot is slow but not procrastinating. Each plot reveals the true texture of life. It not only allows people to see the fireworks of life, but also draws the courage to move forward. It is suitable for reading when you are tired. It is healing and inspirational, and makes people feel that ordinary days can be lived in a meaningful way. I'm fascinated to see this kind of ordinary people's lives.
This book uses cooking smoke and city streets as its ink, refining poetry in the harsh reality. The smoke of fireworks envelops the beauty of human nature, and the earth-like thickness and moonlight-like haziness are intertwined, making the words as mellow as wine, rooted in life but evaporating and soaring, and the aftertaste permeates the soul.
The plot of the novel has ups and downs, multiple clues go hand in hand, and the context is clear. It outlines the "Ukiyo-e" above the East River. The author has strong writing skills, depicts the living conditions of all kinds of people, and creates full-bodied, flesh-and-blood, beautiful characters.
This novel, with the meandering East River as the umbilical cord of the soul, captures the breath and pulse of a land and water. The words are like hair dipped in ink, smeared in the daily life like rice paper - the shadows of boats, smoke, and the noise and whispers in the market are all blurred brushstrokes. It does not avoid the roughness and triviality of life. It is by this steaming stove that the colorful and profound spectrum of human nature is tempered. It has a sense of reality rooted in the soil, and a poetic tension that is as clear as river water and as hazy as moonlight. Reading it is like drinking mellow wine, with a long aftertaste.
The quality of a work is not the only criterion for whether there are more or less readers. As time goes by, so many words are like waves dissolving in the long river. Good books last forever, and this work will last forever. This work is addictive and deeply shocking. Leave a five-star review first, and then continue to follow up. I wish the author a long journey and may he become a god soon! Keep reading and learning, five-star praise is given
This is a super nice realistic novel! The author focuses his writing on the lives of ordinary people along the East River. It is full of fireworks, the plot is delicate and not verbose, and the story of Liu Fendou and Chen Meili is real and makes people cry. There is no bloody plot, it is all about the little warmth and tenacity in life, which is very healing to read. The writing is delicate, simple and smooth, and the characters are vivid and immersive. The more you read, the more you sink into it. It's very good! Finished reading, looking forward to the follow-up!!
The plot description of the human fireworks above the East River is very delicate and beautiful.
The author's description of the world's fireworks, strong emotions, worldly feelings, and the harshness of the world are all vividly displayed on the East River. The plot of the story is ups and downs, and life is peeled off layer by layer, and you discover the ups and downs of emotions.
The weight of life is reflected in the smell of fireworks above the East River. The novel uses a broad vision, vivid brushwork, and rich colors to show all kinds of characters and human nature. It is hard to put it down while reading.

There is a pair of eyes observing the changes in human relations and world affairs. The author paints a picture of the people's life on the East River with a wonderful touch.
