Mei Ting, Tian Yu, Chen Haoyu and Li Xueqin star in the original novel of the TV series of the same name!
In the late 1970s, Zhuang Xianxian, a machine factory worker, married Su Xiaoman, a song and dance troupe actor, with his two sons and one daughter. Su Xiaoman entered the banker's house with a pair of children, and the reorganized family began a life of noisy and tender companionship.
The eldest daughter Zhuang Haohao was unwilling to be a tram conductor all her life, and her encounter with the unemployed young man Shan Baokun completely changed her fate. The second son Zhuang Xuexue and Su Xiaoman's daughter Wang Yuanyuan were childhood sweethearts, but eventually broke up sadly. Zhuang Xianxian's apprentice Liu Cheng targeted Zhuang Haohao, but after failure, he turned to Wang Yuanyuan...
After his third son Zhuang Tiantian, Zhuang Xianxian finally fulfilled his dream of "study hard and make progress every day", but the arrival of Zhuang Xiangxiang became a secret that could not be revealed at home or outside the family.
The changes of the past 40 years have been like rough sandpaper, which has worn away the family's daily necessities, parents' perseverance, and children's growth. Together with the people around them, they have experienced the confusion and pain of social transformation. They are determined to live a good life with gritted teeth and resolve the bitterness of life with humor and tolerance. The persistence and struggle of these ordinary people have created a magnificent era, and the era has also given them the simple happiness they long for.
Reader comments
The vivid book is based on the TV series. The TV series has the same style as the book and is equally beautiful. The TV series has good casting and actors, and it fits the book very well! This is a very warm and touching story. Every character is lifelike and their ending is very satisfactory. I am happy for them!
What I feel from this book is that first of all, people must know how to behave and be a person with capital virtue, morality, public morality and private morality. Secondly, people must make unremitting efforts. This is wisdom and a magic weapon. No matter how twists and turns in life, there will always be a bright future. Secondly, family is always family. A family should be of the same mind, discuss things easily, exchange sincerity for sincerity, and do not act hypocritically. The fourth is that being a person is the same as doing things. People who don't know how to be a person will definitely not be able to do things. People with bad moral character will definitely fail in their careers. Be a person first and do things later.
What moved me the most was the hidden story of Chan Baokun. I didn't expect that he was so affectionate and righteous that he had to bear everything. Fortunately, he gave birth to his child. His fate was not too bad for him. I hope he rests in peace. Zhuang Xianxian and his wife have helped many neighbors and fellow villagers. They have always put justice first and have set a very good example for his children in the matter of being a good person. He is also a master of technology in the factory, which once again proves that being a good person and doing things are the same.
What more can be said? I feel very sad to say goodbye to the characters in the book...
It clearly shows the images of characters from all walks of life in that era, and the life scenes are really interesting to watch.
Came here after watching the TV series! The TV series has a good story and well-acted actors. I cried several times while watching it, but the ending was too rushed, so I came here to see how the novel was written. I just watched the beginning, but I was not disappointed. The language is interesting and I will continue to watch it.
It's great, the book is as exciting as the TV series
After reading the book "A Good Life" today, I feel that the author's way of describing it is a bit like writing "Alley People". But the writing style is a bit thin, not as delicate and deeply rooted as in "Alley People". The characters and stories are good, but the narrative feels flat. It's nice to look at, it's effortless and hassle-free.
This book is well written and deeply reflects the people and events of that era, as well as the changes of the times. I personally like it very much.
Nice! The TV series aired so slowly that I couldn't help but read the novel [laughing and crying]. The descriptions are very delicate, and the characters are very fleshed out and real.
A very good novel with delicate characters
The characters and story are both good. It just doesn't have the description of a novel, and the writing is closer to a TV script.
After watching a few episodes of the TV series and having to go to work, I searched for books and listened to them. Stories about ordinary people with a sense of the times, full of love, affection, and close to life!
It's a wonderful novel. You can't stop reading it once you read it. The characters are vivid and unique, and the clichéd parents are the most exciting!
Close to reality, the plot is fascinating
The story has a strong period flavor and is extremely interesting. The characters are unique, vivid, meaningful and attractive.
The environment of the 1990s, the characters are full and beautiful
The characters are vivid and representative of that era. The difficulties of remarried families are touched by the beautiful humanity ~ the Chinese people's perseverance and hard work in life are beyond words ~
The writing is excellent, the language is very vivid and personal, and the characters are also very distinct. It can be seen that this is a story about Dalian.
The characters in the novel have distinct personalities, and the plot is real, attractive, and beautiful.
The storyline is fascinating, the sense of age is strong, and the fireworks are particularly sticky.
In this impetuous world, no one writes good books about pure literature, such as fantasy, time travel, son-in-law... This book is good, and it brought me back to that innocent and simple era.
A nice novel! [Like][Like]
Very interesting, fascinating, and very beautiful.
It's so beautiful that sometimes it makes me cry [laughing and crying]
