Name: Tales of Lin He
Author: Luo Yue'er

Synopsis

Through her own perspective, the heroine, born in the 1970s in Gulin County, Luzhou, Sichuan Province, describes the upbringing and personalities of her parents, who were born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, as well as the romantic upheaval they experienced during the Cultural Revolution.

Her father died unexpectedly in the early 1980s, and her mother remarried twice. Growing up in a family to which she was not related by blood, the heroine endured the humiliations of adolescence and the lasting trauma inflicted by her family of origin.

The memories of her older brother leading her cousins in bullying and humiliating her became permanent scars.

As an adult, in the early days of reform and opening up, the heroine went to Guangdong for work. She rose from being a factory employee to joining a foreign-owned company that others envied, where she held an important position for 23 years and worked alongside ten general managers. She finally took early retirement at the end of 2024.

The company grew from four employees to nearly a hundred. Amid several rounds of change, the heroine also earned accounting-related credentials again, and in 2014 officially took on the role of finance manager.

Only she knows the hardships, joys, and sorrows she experienced along the way. Her story may also offer younger generations a lesson about the workplace.

While working at the foreign-owned company, the heroine also married and had a child. Busy with work, she experienced the challenges of raising the next generation without knowing what to expect. Cracks appeared in the family, and her child felt that no one was there to accompany them as they grew up.

After going through all these experiences, the heroine now lives in Canada, beginning a different life.

I haven't finished reading it yet, but I have an experience that really made me feel the 70s. I was born in the 80s, but it made me full of memories. It made me want to go back in time and do it all over again. Because I know the author, it makes me read more intimately. I feel like I have touched the deepest emotions in the author's heart. I am immersed in the scene and feel deeply. I have been completely involved.

My electronic pickle has been updated again 😘😘👍👍 Carrot pulling program! Reminds me of the performance of a little girl picking mushrooms on June 1st in elementary school! At that time, I felt so happy and proud to be selected, and I had to wear the same uniform! In those days, it was not like now where you can go to Taobao platform to purchase! If you can't find it in the market in a small county on the 18th tier! My mom and the others helped me borrow them everywhere! Similar colors and similar styles are basically OK! Children's Day is also the happiest time to perform a show! It's still a holiday for award certificates! The school will also reserve movie theaters! We still have a few cents of pocket money to buy popsicles! I feel so satisfied and happy!

Follow the author's memories, travel back to the hometown and childhood that you can never go back to, and be happy and sad with the author. This is a slow-paced book, suitable for reading slowly. . Come on!

"You can't say he is a bad person, but he is evil" is so accurate! Are there really such people in work and life?
