Carrying a lifetime's worth of regrets and resentment, Chen Sheng returns to the darkest day of his life.
It is 1981. He hasn't started working at the factory yet, and his older brother hasn't died after going hunting in the mountains and being clawed to death by a black bear while desperately trying to find money for him. His sister-in-law, nephew, and niece won't spend the rest of their lives hating him over what happened and treating him as their sworn enemy.
The events of the past haven't spiraled out of control because of that initial incident. There's still time to change everything.
In an era when information is scarce both in the mountains and beyond, this place is full of business opportunities and chances to get ahead.
Having already lived through one lifetime, Chen Sheng doesn't seek wealth or status. All he wants is a simple, peaceful life. That is his lifelong pursuit.

I was attracted by the title of the book because I gave birth to my daughter in 1981. Looking at the plot described in the book, it is very similar to my life of jumping in line in Northwestern Kang County. Close to the real life at that time, keep reading.
I was just born in 1981, so I felt very comfortable reading the chronicle. I read more than 40 chapters in one go, and it continues to be exciting! Hurry up and read Chapter 62 again! Worth five stars. The excitement continues!
"August 1st Past in the Northwest" is a profound and touching story about the rebirth of the times. The protagonist returns to 1981 to prevent the tragedy of his eldest brother and make up for the debts he owed in his previous life. Taking root in the mountains of northwest China, he writes about the struggles and tenderness of ordinary people in the era of scarcity of materials. There is no pursuit of getting rich, just the safety of the family, full of fireworks, and the joys and sorrows of the old era. Beautiful, recommended reading!
A classic rebirth era novel with a wonderful world setting. The familiar 1980s, the ups and downs we went through, I feel like what happened is around me. I can find familiar prototypes of the characters in my mind. Many things have been experienced by people around me, and I have a strong sense of immersion.
This book does not have gorgeous rhetoric, but uses plain words to dissect reality and human nature. The author breaks away from rigid preaching and talks about the choices and confusions hidden in daily life. When reading, I often have a strong resonance, as if I can see my own confusion and thinking. It is not something to be read once and then shelved on the shelf, but a work worth reading over and over again and gaining new insights at different stages of life. The only drawback is that the rhythm of some paragraphs is slow, but it does not affect the core value. It is thought-provoking after reading.
The author is very good at writing chronology, and has a strong visual sense. He can't help but transport readers to the 1980s, and he quickly read dozens of chapters. It is a masterpiece worth reading! I used my free time to read Chapter 62! I like it very much, keep up the fun!
The content is substantial, the writing is good, the language is humorous, the plot is exciting, and the concept is exquisite.
The writing is delicate and the plot is exciting.
I've seen Li Long and it's pretty good, and the period writing looks good too. This guy is very good at period writing, so he gave it good reviews.
Although reborn, it is very down-to-earth, and the five-star reviews are encouraging.
