Yang Zai's "Arriving in the Capital" (Yuan Dynasty): "The snow in the city has just melted, and shepherd's purse grows; few people walk in the deep alleys of the corner gate." Gao Qi's "Spring Evening in the West Garden" (Ming Dynasty): "Knowing that the flowers in other people's homes have all fallen, many butterflies come to the vegetable patches today." [Root] From Kong Shao'an's "Ode to the Pomegranate at a Banquet" in the Tang Dynasty: It's a pity the tree in the courtyard was moved by the Han minister.

Be calm in the face of adversity, and quietly observe the waves of the sea; be fearless in the face of gain and loss, and talk about life, working hard in the morning and resting in the evening. This is the author's debut work, with a philosophical tone, incorporating elements of lightheartedness, family, and friendship. It's not just a memoir, nor simply a lighthearted story; it's more of a philosophical exploration of life. However, the author didn't want each chapter to be purely didactic, resulting in a style that alternates between philosophical, lighthearted, and essayistic elements. Each chapter is currently being released and refined… As a first work, it's bound to be somewhat immature, but the author humbly strives to present a beautiful visual experience… Thank you for your feedback… The story interweaves the author's relationships with Cai Gen and Zi Ran, his female apprentice, high school classmates, encounters with models and nurses, past experiences as a masseur, his job search, and his brief period of unemployment followed by his entrepreneurial journey. Family + love + career + entrepreneurship… A memoir of his journey from a naive youth to a mature man, it's a blend of lightheartedness, sweetness, and life reflections. This debut work employs a combination of narrative, argumentative, and essayistic styles to maximize readability. For example: Chapter 5, discussing dreams, interspersed with the playful friendship of Little Cherry, is a refreshing and youthful story; Chapters 55, 56, and 57 tell stories of university and a junior's part-time job, revealing the hardships of rural children; Chapter 59, an encounter with a female classmate, etc.; Chapter 67, a bar date, etc., Are worth reading... Volume Two, Chapter 82, Ziran returns from a business trip...

More exciting stories can be found in the whole book: Rejecting mental exhaustion, combining romance and philosophy, a novel about human nature, exploring the passionate collision of sex and life. At the beginning of life, human nature is good! Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire, what is the meaning of life? Cai Gen's memoir of achieving success from scratch without any family background, connections, or economic foundation. Having endured the trials of emotions and desires, He Caigen was utterly consumed by them in the X Tunnel, only to find himself surrounded by the acceptance of his loved ones. This book revolves around the clash of perspectives between He Caigen and Huang Ziran, weaving everyday stories into narratives about personal growth, interpersonal relationships, building a family, and raising children. Each chapter is independent yet interconnected. Time hasn't changed a person's character, but their mindset has. Ten years ago, facing difficulties meant finding solutions; ten years later, encountering problems means no longer rushing for quick results, but simply laughing it off. Laughing isn't escapism; letting go is another form of gain. No matter how carefree one may seem, life must eventually return to normal…

    Having finally escaped her birth family in her past life, she accidentally discovered at her parents' funeral that she wasn't their biological child. Unexpectedly, she was reborn with a system. The system told her that her rebirth was due to spending all the faith points she had accumulated in her previous life, and now she must accumulate faith points again to exchange for survival days. While writing novels to accumulate faith points for survival days, she also planned to publicize the true attitude of her adoptive parents towards her. She saved friends with tragic pasts and promoted the development of Chinese culture, entertainment, and technology. The plot is rich, the characters are well-developed, and the character settings are diverse; it's a safe read. The plot is engaging, and the descriptions of each character's actions and psychology are appropriately and delicately matched with the context. A balanced mix of explicit and explicit content. I've read this novel many times; it has many settings, delicate writing, and a gradual progression. Very good! ...

    This is my favorite short story. The male lead isn't the typical aloof and unattainable type, and the story isn't overly sweet or angsty. The whole story gives a light and elegant feeling, and the male lead is so gentle.
