Lin Yannan, a rural boy born in the 1980s, has been struggling in the torrent of the times for half his life.
From the ignorant boy in the adobe classroom in the countryside, to the low-level worker who dropped out of school to start a career, from the elite who reached the top of the workplace, to the depressed middle-aged man who is heavily in debt, he has gone through a full twenty-six years.
When I was young, brothers stood side by side, their blood was hot, and their loved ones were by my side. I thought that with sincerity, I could grasp the life I wanted.
Only when you grow up do you understand that human relationships are as thin as paper and friendships are easily broken.
Some people offer help in times of trouble, while others add insult to injury; some lend a hand to help, while others avoid her. The best brother marries the ex-wife of his best friend, and the former best friend becomes a stranger.
He started from scratch, but it collapsed overnight; he had two children, but his wife and children were separated; he won a lot of glory, but also lost everything.
Half life is warm with fireworks, half life is cold with wind and frost.
This is the most realistic portrayal of the life of a post-80s generation. It describes the hardships of making a living at the bottom, the cruelty of workplace games, the difficulty of staying in marriage, and the separation of brotherhood. Every word is full of regrets, and every sentence is sad. It is written for every ordinary person who is ups and downs in the years.
