Reader note

The first book is so close. The author is very attentive to the life of the times. The group portraits are not descriptive. Although it is a fast time travel and each world is set in the old era, it is very perspective and interesting. The second and third books are both focused on working life or business. The female protagonists have their own careers and are not accessories to the male protagonist. The author of the third book revealed that his current job is in a foreign company, so the characters in the background are real enough. In the second book, because the characters are older than young people, the involvement of marriage, family, personal gains and losses, and one's own emotions are fully written. Finally, I would like to say that after reading this, I will be more consistent with my own life [laughs]

The beautiful and strong heroine✘The gangster lacks love. I swear to God! This is a unique youth campus novel, with bullying, hazy youthful love, friendship, family affection... At the same time, it is very realistic. The male protagonist bullies the female protagonist, and the second male protagonist helps the female protagonist (the two of them redeem each other and grow together, but the ending is a bit unexpected!) Because the writing is gentle, the structure is rigorous and complete, and the plot is smooth. So reading the whole book will make you very happy! ! Trust me! ! I repainted it three times!

This is a realistic-themed novel that I sincerely recommend and resonates with you! The novel is written from the beginning of the 21st century. It takes Fang Lizhu, a child born in the 1980s in the rural area of ​​Jianghan Plain in the central region, as the perspective. By describing the various people and events Fang Lizhu encounters during his studies and work, it reflects on the one hand the changes in the overall life of the people in the plain after entering the new century. On the other hand, it also reflects the various life patterns of small people in the face of great changes in the trend of the times and in the context of the big era and the big background, such as active or passive choices, active persistence or passive escape.

Reader note

Three lines of love, three solutions to the same proposition. Xiao Ruohua made a statement in the debate competition - "Love rationally and never lose yourself in love" - ​​this sentence later became a fork in the book: Su Youli and Xiao Ruohua: The two of them adhere to the same principle - not to be attached and not to be a drag. He didn't get close because he was afraid that she would "be more difficult to be a person in the Chu family"; she refused because she was afraid of turning back into "Chu Yanhua". In the end, we were able to come together not because of who persuaded whom, but because the obstacles on both sides disappeared at the same time. Chu Yanzhi: A sober fallen victim. Every move he makes is accompanied by precise self-discipline. The phrase "I hope you don't get too involved in the drama" was said to her, but also to myself. Chapter 48: Before the engagement banquet, he silently muttered to himself in the shadow, "It's a temporary attraction, and it's over" - this was the last seal he gave himself. Chu Yanqing and Jin Yu: From "Sincerity can overcome everything" to "I must first be qualified not to be manipulated". She went abroad, gave birth to a daughter, and registered in the "YUE" studio. The cruelest part of this line is that she didn't wait for redemption, but she grew up to be able to protect another person. The section where Yu Jiajia rejects Chu Yanzhi is the most sober line in the book: Secret love is just one's own whims. But after tasting this whimsical sweetness, losing it again - that is unforgettable pain. I don't want that kind of pain. This sentence provides another decent ending for all those who "ask for nothing". This book is not suspended in the banquet of wealthy families. It writes about the stack of crumbled prescriptions and drug payment bills in the court mediation room - three years of time were pressed into groups of numbers, lying quietly in front of the two sons; it writes about Xiao Ruohua's words when Zhan Kun was forced to "voluntarily resign" by the company; it writes about Xiao Ruohua's words, "You have supported me for so many years, and now I will take care of you"; it writes about the day she passed the post of judge, Su Youli said nothing more, only cooked a table of home-cooked food, raised his glass and said four words: "Congratulations, Judge Xiao." At that moment, I suddenly understood Su Youli's most precious quality. He never said "Thank you for your hard work" or "I'm proud of you" - because he was present throughout the whole process. He saw every late night she spent, every referee document she scrutinized verbatim, and every difficulty she faced under pressure. The meaning of his existence has never been to protect her from wind and rain, but no matter how far she goes or how high she flies, as long as she looks back, he will always stay where she is. Chapter 49 She leaned on the low sofa on the balcony and said, "It took me five years to get to this point," but he just held her hand tighter. ——This is the best love for adults: it's not who becomes who's harbor, but two complete people who choose to stand side by side. When it comes to this story, the most unforgettable thing for me is not the grandness of the proposal, nor the shock of the photo wall, but the detail in Chapter 41 that is so small that it is almost ignored: Su Youli was going on a business trip, so he called and said, "Someone will send two low sofas over later, just put them on the balcony." Later, Xiao Ruohua sat on the balcony and looked at the two sofas side by side - one was occupied and the other was empty. He waited twelve years to take that vacant seat. At the end of the story, she folded his pajamas and put them in the closet alongside her own summer clothes; she placed the old photo of her twenties on the bedside. In the corner of the photo was his profile looking at her from afar; she said, "Every time I take a photo from now on, you have to be next to me." He answered: "Never fall behind once." From "being among the crowd and not daring to leave my name" to "being by my side every time" - this is probably the best ending a person can get. And those who didn't wait have their own places to go.​ Some people hold their daughters in a foreign country and regrow their bones, some people allow their hearts to beat for the last time in the light of the engagement party, and some people exchange two bracelets for a small house of their own. There is a time to gather and a time to disperse. Everything has its destination, only the warmth of spring in the coming year, the fireworks in the world, and the good year after year.
