[Funny moments from everyday life] [Everyday warmth] [Goofy humor] [Urban daily life] [A household in chaos]
Out-of-work middle-aged Lin Feng’s life is one big “disaster in the making”: his boss uses psychological manipulation to force him out of his job, his childhood friend tricks him into investing in stocks and wipes out his savings, and the relocation office dangles promises of compensation to keep him on the hook. At home, he’s also got a menopausal mother, a short-tempered wife, a son going through a rebellious phase, and a sensible adopted daughter who all find their own creative ways to “make trouble.” And the disputes with the neighbors never let up.
From a lottery mix-up and getting burned in the stock market to a relocation fiasco, the Lin family’s days are chaotic but full of warmth. Workplace pitfalls, family battles, and neighborhood antics take turns, with one ridiculous comedy after another. Amid all the “hassles,” Lin Feng takes on one challenge after another alongside his family. An unreliable childhood friend, eccentric neighbors, and constant plot twists all come together in a story that finds its way, through laughter, tears, reconciliation, and growth, to the truth of life: no matter how hard each hurdle is, you can get through it, and a lively, bustling home is what makes a family.
Reading about Lin Feng's daily life with his family after he lost his job, I felt that it was not easy for everyone. Parents paying excessive attention to their children is actually a kind of soft kidnapping of their children, which puts a lot of pressure on their children in the name of love. From the story, I also reflected on the real reason why my children did not want to come back to me after graduating from college. Lin Feng's confusion and helplessness may also be my son's confusion and helplessness. When a child grows up and it's time for parents to let go, they must let go and not tie the child up. This book is suitable for parents and children to read, to learn to think from others' perspective, to learn to forgive and let go! 👍❤️
