    Reader note

    This book boasts a captivating plot, nuanced character portrayals, and a strong connection to its era. In my opinion, it might even be more compelling without the rebirth element. I had previously read another novel by the same author that mentioned this book, so I added it to my bookshelf. However, because it was titled a rebirth novel, I kept putting it off (for over a year). When I was really short on books, I picked it up, and unexpectedly, I became completely engrossed, reading it almost without eating or sleeping. As someone born in the early 1970s, I had heard many of the storylines before, and some of them even reenacted my own experiences. In that era, it was truly a case of the bold thriving and the timid starving; there was little fairness or justice. Might made right, and connections were essential for everything. If you want to understand and reflect on that era, this book is definitely worth reading!
