A Man of Letters in the Republican Era

It's well-written. Although some parts are a bit dry and complicated, and others are a bit brief, the whole text is vivid, full of character, spirit, and a sense of progress. It features people, poetry, stories, and everyday life—quite enjoyable. It's like reading an old article; you need to slow down your thinking and observation to savor it.

I've never read such a classic Republican-era novel, so down-to-earth and so unpretentious. To quote the author: "This novel has substance; it's uplifting." In that era, ordinary people had only one hope: to strive to live, to live well. Thumbs up to the author! Thank you for showing me the true Republican era. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It seems the author wanted to write something, and the subject matter is interesting—they wanted to write about a witness to history, someone who is both detached from and involved in the world—but the story wasn't well-written. There's a novel on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) about someone who travels back to ancient times and witnesses history across multiple dynasties; that one is quite good, with a very complete story.

It's worth taking the time to savor.

This is not a wish-fulfillment story, it's a serious novel.

This is a novel with warmth.

The writing is beautiful and powerful! Definitely worth reading. Keep up the good work, author! I believe in you!

The writing style is fluent and has the charm of traditional novels, but the main character's introduction is unclear. I suggest adding an author's note that introduces the original protagonist and the transmigrator's background.

So pretty, so pretty, so pretty! 😳
