Reader comments
It's really good to watch. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is heart-warming. The scene where the male protagonist leaves later made me cry and my heart was empty. The second half of the article also made me feel that the older generation is really suffering. Sometimes I can understand why grandparents are so frugal. We should cherish our happy life now. In addition, can we write an extra chapter to give them a good ending? [Please update]
The writing is simple, and the plot is also simple, but very touching. It is not like some random fabrications of some popular online novels. It contains the helplessness of history and the kindness of humanity. It has three correct views and is worth spending time to read.
The characters in the novel are lifelike, and the friendship between the male and female protagonists is touching. In the war-torn years, everyone is fighting to protect their loved ones and survive. There is no bloody plot in the whole text, I strongly recommend everyone to read it!
This story was written so delicately and truly that every word stuck into my heart, and I couldn't stop crying after reading it. If people really have a next life, let them grow old together in peace and pay back all the perfection they owe in this life.
I watched it completely and was moved by their love again.
First time writing a book review. The short 40 chapters are about Ma Chengde's short life as a soldier and the ups and downs of Qin woman's life. It is a portrayal of love, hate, hatred and the righteousness of the family and the country, and it is also a grand narrative of historical changes. Or it may be a wave in the long river, or a sigh or a speck of dust in the mouth of someone later.
It is not the kind of love that people say is tragic in the Republic of China. It is not cliché and it touches people's hearts.
As an old man who particularly likes reading be, there has been no novel on Tomato that can attract me for a long time. This novel I accidentally clicked on is really great. He is not the kind of person who abuses for the sake of abuse. He is the kind of abuse that people have no choice in the torrent of history. I really recommend it. I have shared it with my good friends. It is very beautiful.
It's really the long-lasting love of the older generation, the situation of family and country. The author's writing style is really good. Although the length is short, the narrative is not vague at all.
I cried bitterly after watching it in the middle of the night. Shuiqin is good, Chengde is good, and so are the children.
I only hope that Shuiqin and Chengde can stay together until they grow old in the next life.
It's so well written, it's really great. This is the best book I've read in recent times. There is no other book. The death of the male protagonist was so painful for me.
It's beautiful, very beautiful. I opened the book casually. It's 3:28 in the morning on August 7, 2026. I really want to say that the author has made me cry. It's like it really happened. It can be a drama.
It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of love story from the older generation, and it's a pity that "Chengde" passed away in the end. In that special era, it was not easy for "Qin Nu" to raise five children. But I suddenly wanted to make "Chengde" of that era a little greedy, save enough money, and leave a better escape route for myself, and also for "Qin Nu" and a few "children". But being greedy is not the characteristic of "Chengde". What attracts me is "Chengde"'s "stubborn" temper, and his friendship with one person in that era.
The literary talent is not good, but I did shed tears while reading this book. It made me cry enough. I look forward to it being published as a TV series one day in the future.
I have been reading for decades, and this book is so satisfying that I can finish reading it. It has great stamina and can make you cry.
It's well written, ordinary yet full of humane feelings, rough yet in line with the era, and very sad.
The writing is really good, the story has ups and downs and plot, and the characters are vivid and emotional, allowing people who don't like reading to see fresh life in the book and watch the growth of a woman. The story is over but continues, and the rest is good.
It's very beautiful, and the author's writing is very detailed, but I would rather the male protagonist died in the war than see him die in the liquidation. He is a hero. I didn't dare to read the next few chapters [crying][crying][crying][crying]
It's really touching. The article is deeply rooted in the soil. It uses a woman's first-person perspective to tell that period of Chinese history. It may be a light sentence in a history book. It is indeed the epitome of countless families. Seeing the big from the small, it is worth reading. The characters are very distinct. I support the author greatly.
It was so well written, but it made me want to cry when Shui Qin and Ma Chengde didn't live together until their old age. So many years passed after Shui Qin's days without Ma Chengde, and she finally passed away, feeling both tormented and strong. No one can escape history, they are all wrapped up in history. The ending of the male protagonist should not be like this, but it can only be like this. He is sad, beating his chest, sighing, and his thoughts are very complicated...
The author greatly begs for the overbearing, naughty and sweet male and female protagonists to have extra episodes, fragments of daily life, parallel worlds, past and present lives, as long as the male and female protagonists are good, they can make up for the emptiness in their hearts [crying][crying][please update]
Please comment, this book shouldn't be placed in the romance category. Your writing style has a bit of a heavy feel to traditional literature. I recommend placing it in a male channel.
Tomato chaff
I want Ma Chengde and Broken Girl to travel back to the present and take a look at this era where they can have enough food and clothing.
Who knows? This is the first book that made me cry [almost crying] [almost crying] It's so touching
Good 📖 Super, super real and good-looking. I wish Ma Chengde and his "melon girl" will be together in the next life and live a happy life [Sending Hearts]
The wheel of history rolls over every era, no matter whether there is good or evil under the wheel, all people can do is to endure it silently
I read it overnight, and the writing didn't drag me down. I felt bored for a long time after reading it. This is a particularly realistic and powerful book that deserves to be read again and again. It is an underrated treasure.
Following the story of the male and female protagonists seems to bring me back to that era. It was really too bitter. Everyone has flesh and blood. Both the male and female protagonists have personal charm. I hope the two little bitter gourds will be well.
It's so beautiful, with the depth of history and the warmth of a small family.
I cried to death after reading it. It is based on the author's family story. It is really well written, with a rich sense of history, and it also vividly displays the helplessness and sorrow of that era [crying]. Awesome, well worth reading!
The writing is profound, with the unique national flavor of the northwest region, and the straightforward and simple style of the old days. Qin and Chengde are both good people. Even if they don't stay together until the end, their friendship is touching enough. I haven't seen such a good-looking novel in a long time [I almost cried] I really cried in the last few chapters.
It's beautiful, why are there so few people?
It looks good, it would be nice if the male protagonist was still here
I don't know why such a good article has such a low rating. Maybe it's the mixture of happiness and pain that makes people unable to bear to read it.
The writing is really good, the male protagonist is affectionate and delicate, the female protagonist is moved and softened, and finally falls in love with him [flying kiss][flying kiss][adoration][adoration][adoration][adoration]
