   Zhou Sinian was driven insane by a conspiracy and discharged from the army, struggling to survive in the countryside. The arrival of Ming Dai, a young educated youth, rekindled the light in Zhou Sinian's life. He then realized that he could eat his fill even in a snowy winter, and didn't have to go to sleep hungry; that sleeping under a dry quilt on a warm kang was such a blissful thing; and that there were so many delicious foods besides raw rice. Ming Dai, disguised as an orphan, met the mad and powerful Zhou Sinian, who wore a red headscarf, and gained a foothold in the countryside under his protection. Meeting Ming Dai healed Zhou Sinian's barren days, and Ming Dai also found her own unique love, not because of parental responsibility or ancestral expectations, but simply because she was Zhou Sinian's Ming Dai.

   Friends, here are a few books I recommend: 1. *My Life, Self-Salvation* (Urban slice-of-life, first-person narration). It tells the story of ordinary people struggling and healing themselves in a big city. There are no exaggerated plots, only down-to-earth life and growth. If you like quiet, healing stories, check it out. 2. *My Life with Her* (Rural slice-of-life, warm and touching). It tells the story of everyday life after returning home: repairing wells, roads, building factories, getting married, guarding the homeland, guarding the loved one—all the down-to-earth happiness of life. Both are promising books with simple yet powerful plots. Read them slowly, and they will surely touch your heart.
