My name is Lin Maisui, and I am the third child in my family.
The two sisters above and the two brothers below were born in a poor peasant family in the 1980s.
Once upon a time, our family was one of the few in the village that did not favor boys over girls, was stable and warm.
My father is taciturn and honest, and is praised by everyone as a reliable person; my mother is gentle and kind, and treats her children equally.
We all thought that life would go on peacefully like this.
Everything changed until my father went out to work...

It's great. It's the first time I've read this type of novel. The writing is very realistic and there are no cheats. The heroine's brother Dongsheng was so miserable that it made me cry several times. The hero is very good, smart, and a scheming scholar. Unlike other male protagonists who are greasy and rough, the heroine's family members are all very nice and very warm.
The male lead must be Zhou Wenhao, not Jiang Jianfeng who has aged so much, otherwise I will really give a negative review
The story of the 1980s is so immersive! I feel like I'm back in my 1990s [laughing] Thinking about it, my childhood was similar to that of the post-80s generation. Like rural children, I needed to do housework and take care of my younger brothers and sisters.
This is the only book I have reviewed so far. The whole book is based on my childhood. Of course it is not exactly the same, but my parents were not in harmony and vented their emotions on us siblings. My father was silent and infertile, and my mother had high emotional needs. We stayed behind, and my father beat and scolded us to the extreme for various reasons. The three of us siblings had deep childhood shadows, character flaws, and psychological problems. It made me feel that we were just alive, and really had no requirements for anything else. I haven't finished the book, and I can't stand it. It's very depressing to me.
It's very interesting. Although I haven't finished it yet, the characters and plots are very well drawn. I really like the male protagonist. The male protagonist is very good. Maisui also has a brain. It has a strong 90s atmosphere. The tolerance between the male and female protagonists. Wow, it's great👏🏻😁
It's beautiful, and the writing is simple yet powerful. The joys and sorrows of the peasant family in the 1980s are vividly written. The emotional delivery is spot on, and I look forward to more collisions between family and era in the future! [Top post]
It's so touching, it reminds me of my childhood memories
This book uses delicate writing to describe the changes in the fate of young people in rural areas and small towns in the 1980s and 1990s. Whether it is Xia He's helplessness in dropping out of school to work or Mai Sui's stubbornness in going south to work in a factory, they all reflect the struggle and tenacity of small people under the tide of the times.
There are problems with the family's thinking. The heroine's mother often gave family money to her brother and sister. She didn't know what kind of life she was doing. One time, she saved half a year's tuition and living expenses and gave it to her eldest brother. Then she hated her father for not sending any money. She felt that the man was out there and the other women were from the north. The burden of the family was all on him. Gary also had a wife who gave her only money and things to her mother's family, and the children didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It looks good, it looks so good. It brings back the feeling of childhood. It seems like the past is right in front of me. In the blink of an eye, I am already old in the 1980s.
This book is so beautiful!
I want Xia He and Mr. Shen to be together
I cried when I heard it, it was so touching
It felt ok at first, so keep listening.
A true portrayal of many farming families in the 1980s, the hardships of the years, the helplessness of life, the little warmth in the heart, and the way forward
It records the hard life of the old days. Well. And it's very real.
I enjoyed reading it. The author captured the sense of time, the inner activities of the characters, and the stories of rural parents so vividly.
A very realistic rural-themed novel. The siblings have distinct personalities and warm each other. They have a warm and bitter childhood life.
The characters are plump and lifelike, the language is simple and unpretentious, and the stories are eloquently told, with the smoke and smoke of the world floating around, showing the life history of ordinary people, making people realize that happiness is there.
