   This one!!! My absolute favorite period novel set in Northeast China! It's amazing! The female lead rises through the ranks with incredible logic and grounded storytelling. Through years of strategic planning, she saves Northeast China, especially Liaoning, from falling behind after the reform and opening up. The higher the female lead's position, the more brilliantly the author writes. The male lead, who comes of age early, is always there for her, providing companionship and entertainment, and he's not at all greasy—still young and not an old man! His presence becomes much less prominent after the female lead is transferred to a ministry. Highly recommended! This is the second best book I've read since joining Taobao!

   These three books are highly recommended. The first one is set in the era of the educated youth movement in Northeast China. The characters are distinct and not overly idealistic, and the plot develops well. The protagonist is capable, resourceful, and has strong convictions. The second one is a time-traveling story about a herdsman building up Northwest China. It's lighthearted, humorous, and heartwarming, without any hostility. The line "Old Xu, do you want a wife or not?" Is still a classic. The third one is well-written, vivid, and immersive. It provides a very realistic depiction of Northeast China during that era, and the characters are also very lifelike. The story even includes pictures, each picture telling a story.
