Those Life Events

It is an urban group portrait novel with about 120,000 words in total, and is narrated alternately by four first-person characters. The story takes place in a place called [Qingdao Internet Talent Exchange Group]. There were 214 people in the group, and no more than ten actually spoke. Four young people aged 26 to 28 - Beidiao back-end developer Hu Zi, Qingdao indigenous front-end Hehe, and bank outsourcing product manager Xiao Ma Ge - have known each other through this group for nearly two years. They talked about buying a house, job-hopping, and chatting back and forth. In fact, they talked about the same question: Do you know what you want? There is no twist in this book, no excitement, no counterattack. Huzi finally bought a house in Qingdao, but his job in Beijing was still there; Hehe changed jobs, but the job change itself could not solve the problem. He asked himself "what do you want" for the first time in twenty-seven years; Xiaoma Ge and Miaomiao signed a contract, and their two names were listed side by side in the buyer's column. That is the most important detail in the book, and it is just a detail. I think its readers are those twenty-five to thirty-five-year-old young people working in first-tier cities or coastal cities. They have a certain degree of education and income, but they are pressured by the pressure of buying a house, getting married, having children, and choosing a city at the same time. Each of them is not big when taken individually, but it is a bit breathless when put together. They don't need to be told "everything is going to be okay," they need a book to sit next to them and say, I know, this is it, but you're still going.
