1968s | Space | Farming | Hunting | Natural Disasters | Saving the Whole Village
The material for this story comes from oral accounts by elderly people.
Cheng Zhe, a modern man, transmigrates to a village with a complicated history in the 1960s, only to face natural disasters and famine from the moment he arrives.
With the help of a rather unreliable golden finger, he leads the villagers step by step out of hunger and toward prosperity.
The novel is full of stories unique to that era:
What exactly was involved in handing over grain to the state? Why couldn't reservoir construction be put off? Just how exhausting was the campaign to learn from Dazhai?
This is a feel-good novel with no tragic twists. The protagonist isn't invincible; he can only move carefully, step by step, and defy fate to change his destiny.
Unlike other stories set in that era, there are no absolute good or bad people here, only the most realistic struggles for survival and the choices they bring:
Could people really trade freely at the black market? Were there truly any irredeemably bad people? When disaster struck, what answers would human nature provide?
Stay tuned.
The book is really well written, but the name given by the author is a bit inferior. What a pity. The protagonist uses a limited golden finger space reasonably and intelligently to find happiness in a miserable life. The text is humorous, witty and coquettish. It is really coquettish.
The book is good, but sometimes the names are wrong... The heroine and her friends cannot be called besties. Especially coming from the mouth of the village chief, it doesn't fit the era.
