At the age of twelve, Lin Chuan was transferred to the county primary school with the top score in the town. An unexpected conflict involved him and Zhao Lei into another set of rules maintained by fists, face and relationships.
In the next six years, while Lin Chuan was guarding his grades and college dreams, he walked deeper and deeper into the streets of the small town with his brothers. At the age of eighteen, he finally entered college and left the county, only to find that the people and things he thought were over had entered a new life.
This is not the youth experienced by most people born in the 1990s, but it contains the common teenage concerns of a generation.
Reader comments
I am the author, and I would like to say a few words that touch my heart.
This book is written about the years when I grew up in the county town.
Transferring schools, fighting for the first time, being blocked in an alley, gathering a few brothers to encourage me... I have experienced most of these things. The names are pseudonyms and the plot is basically true.
Writing in the future, there will be game arcades, how to gradually establish a foothold in the county after transferring to another school, and also the first time I fell in love with someone.
I don't want to write the kind of cool article that is cheating right from the start. I just wanted to honestly write about the youth of an ordinary county boy - how he learned not to hide little by little when he faced fists, lies, and "what should I do" for the first time.
If you have had such a youth, or you want to see how a county boy grows up, just stay and watch slowly.
If you have anything you want to talk about, see you in the comments section.
——Old squad leader born in the 1990s
I accidentally opened a book called Youth in the Age, which was unexpectedly very good. The language is simple and not mind-numbing, the story of a county boy is full of atmosphere, the details of the era are authentic, and there is no messy plot. It is very suitable to listen to before going to bed. There are not many updates yet, but the opening chapter is online, and I have been following up on it, waiting for the author to update more chapters!
