    Based on a friend's real life, the author chronicles the entire trajectory of a small-town boy's journey from a top student in elementary school to a bottom-of-the-class student in high school, and finally to the margins of society. The entire book contains no cheat codes, no time travel, no reincarnation, and no system cheats; it only depicts the genuine struggles and ups and downs of ordinary people amidst the torrent of history. The author masterfully captures the atmosphere of the small-town setting—the opportunities and predicaments caught between urban and rural areas, the clash between tradition and modernity—all permeating every choice and every missed opportunity made by the character. The writing is calm and restrained, neither sentimental nor intellectually simplistic, like reading a serious documentary about that era. The protagonist doesn't defy fate or suddenly gain superpowers; he simply lives a real life, step by step (or stumbles and falls).

    Highly recommended! The premise is novel and unique, the protagonist is intelligent, yet his identity is seen through by Old Qian at a glance—a very interesting plot. The writing is a bit weak at the beginning, perhaps due to the new author, but it gradually improves and gets better with each chapter. Definitely worth reading; it's already at 250,000 words, so you can start reading now!
