[Please pay attention] I hope you can pay more attention to the comments. ❤️ The story of Lin Haisheng and Chen Wei is essentially a metaphor of "how a person is split in two by fate." Lin Haisheng represents the "possible self" and Chen Wei represents the "self forced to become". When the two lines finally intersect, the readers see not only the joy and sorrow of the brothers' reunion, but also the two imprints of an era left on individuals.

There are no cheats in this book. The protagonist is a real ordinary person from the bottom. Escape from death at sea, hide from the police, live under the shelter of others, and strive for a legal identity step by step. The characters' anxiety, gratitude, and longing for the future are all very immersive. The fireworks in fishing villages, tea restaurants, and the Star Ferry are rich in details from the era, and you can feel what Hong Kong looked like in that era. The pace is slow, and the emphasis is on describing people and the times.

The writing is very good. Hong Kong in 1978 was a place where opportunities and crises coexisted. Lin Haisheng, a poor immigrant, embarks on a counterattack journey. He has no systematic powers and uses the "slow" way to become a tycoon in the watch industry and even marries a rich man. Faced with the ridicule of opponents and the impact of the times, his perseverance is thought-provoking. In the book, industry and finance are intertwined, and grievances and resentments are intertwined, just like a picture of all living beings in the great era. It is a wonderful work that should not be missed.

The novel is set on the eve of Hong Kong's transformation in 1978, blending grassroots struggles, community grievances, and opportunities of the times into the salty sea breeze. The delicate description of muddy paths and sultry sea breeze in the opening chapter instantly brings people back to an era when order was unstable and opportunities abounded - ordinary people made a living on fishing boats, people in the world relied on their territory to establish rules, and everyone was looking for a way out in the cracks of the times.

This is a substantial period novel. It uses the story of an "honest man's" counterattack to answer the question of the times: "Can slow work outperform fast money?" If you are tired of mindless and cool articles and want to see how an ordinary person made his way through perseverance and wisdom in a real historical context, this novel is worth reading.

The author writes very well and has a strong sense of immersion. Come on

The writing is very good. I like the setting and characters of this book.

I have read a lot of novels about Xiangjiang recently. What surprised me about this one is that it is very real. It does not rely on the system or anything, but relies on my own abilities and my own brain. It gave me a sense of immersion and what Xiangjiang was like in that era. It is really good.

The author's writing is very sophisticated, and some details are also well written. For example, in the latest chapter, it is written that the amount will take two days to collect, instead of within one day, or within a few hours. There are problems with large withdrawal limits for such a large amount, and there are other problems, so I feel that writing it in two days is very detailed.
