I would like to read a book similar to "Siheyuan: Feeling the Atmosphere of the Times". There are more and more Siheyuan novels nowadays, and they are becoming more and more mindless. Come here with something that is cerebral, not a cool novel.
Chuan Cheng is the newly appointed director of the sub-district office. He shoots Jia Zhang at the beginning and sends Yan Bugui to plant trees in the northwest. Gai Wang and her husband are each given a peanut when they are promoted. The old deaf man and the aunt are paraded on the street. Jia Dongxu escapes. Director Yang jumps off the building. Yi Zhonghai is paralyzed by the eunuch. Xu Damao is caught and shot. The second uncle and aunt surrender themselves to jail.
It's a beautiful Siheyuan. The last two books have jumped out of the box and are even better. I highly recommend it. I've tried it for you and they are both complete.
1 Let me start by saying that it is not a 10-point work. If you watch it with a 9.3 Score, you won't have to worry about it. I haven't watched "Love in the Courtyard" and this one is fine. 2 Don't be fooled, I like watching the golden finger setting. The golden finger in the back is very powerful and helps the country's military power to advance by leaps and bounds. I really hope this is the case in reality. 3 There is a golden finger, the only good-looking book in the Siheyuan, with a single female protagonist, dedicated 4 A Siheyuan novel from a female perspective, (short story about parents + farm space + no male protagonist)
"I'm Forced to Be the Pillar of the Siheyuan" breaks out of the "house fighting" framework of traditional Siheyuan novels and takes "survival" as its core proposition. It throws the protagonist into the era of material scarcity in 1958, and uses the golden finger setting of "space + sign-in" to stage a passionate counterattack from "living down as a loser" to "the supporter of the whole family". The novel wraps up the hard-core survival logic with a delicate flow of life narrative, and hides a shocking power of growth in the stories of parents. Time-traveling is hell mode: a suffocating survival challenge. The protagonist Zhang Xingwang faces the triple critical attack of "the whole family is hungry + he is seriously ill + the system shrinks" when he time-travels: his mother and sisters rely on digging wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and the only male in the family (original owner) is terminally ill. On the first day of signing in, the system only gives you 2 kilograms of potatoes and 0.1 Cubic meters of space - this configuration can be called a "beggar's gold finger". The author uses graphic details to depict poverty: drinking corn mush mixed with water, the fourth sister lying about having eaten to save food, and the younger sister staring at the empty bowl and swallowing saliva. These scenes allow readers to intuitively feel the pressure of survival in the famine era. Zhang Xingwang's transformation from "disliked the unpalatable wild vegetables" to "actively using space to hunt for food" has made the feeling of "forced growth" even more intense. Goldfinger's "poor" opening method: play big tricks in a small space. Different from the arrogant configuration of "tons of materials + farm space" in similar works, the system in this article focuses on "small but refined": 0.1 Cubic meters of space can only accommodate daily sundries, and the sign-in rewards start from 3 pounds of corn and 2 pounds of potatoes, but the protagonist is forced to develop the cool operation of "bullets are stationary + pointing where to hit". Zhang Xingwang used space to store bullets, and performed the magical operation of "silent pheasant hunting" in the deep mountains. He exchanged 26 bullets for 3 pheasants and more than 10 pheasants. This kind of wisdom of "building a dojo in a snail shell" is more satisfying than mindless cheating. And his caution when exchanging pheasant meat for food - going to the pigeon market late at night, disguising the trading route, and using his eldest sister's natural power to escort him - shows the collision between survival wisdom and the limitations of the times. Family Portraits: A Tender Undertone in Suffering. The most touching thing about the novel is the portrayal of "family love": the mother Wang Xiulan saves the food in the lunch box, the grandfather takes the risk and takes out the shotgun, the eldest sister is careless but feels safe, and the second sister is silent but protective throughout. These characters interpret the meaning of "family" in different ways. When Zhang Xingwang insists that the whole family share chicken, the scene in which his mother compromises in tears not only shows the brilliance of humanity in the face of scarcity, but also hints at the protagonist's change in mentality from "accepting care" to "taking the initiative to give." The indifference of the neighbors in the courtyard (such as the third uncle staring at the basket, Jia Zhang's family avoiding the plague god) is in sharp contrast to the warmth of the Zhang family, highlighting the preciousness of "home" as a safe haven. Slice of the Times: An Epic of Survival in the Age of Hungry. The author uses the Zhang family as an incision to unravel the social texture of 1958: the street office made it difficult to obtain household registration, the village collectively ate from a big pot, the risks of black market transactions were extremely high, and the shotgun was once a life-saving talisman for the villagers. These details make the story go beyond the scope of a "siheyuan cool article" and become a survival memorandum for a generation. Zhang Xingwang witnessed "children looking for worms to eat" and "no dogs barking in the village" in the mountains and forests, and even used line drawing to describe the cruelty of famine. And the plot of him using space to hoard food and plan to open sales points implies the idealism of "using modern thinking to break the old era". Core of growth: Transformation from "lone seedling" to "backbone" Zhang Xingwang's counterattack path is essentially a growth driven by "responsibility": from a sickly young man to a man who can carry a gun for hunting, from relying on his family to being relied on by the whole family. He learned calculations (such as using corn to trap prey), responsibility (guarding his sister late at night in exchange for food), and even intrigue (concealing supplies from the third uncle) in the midst of hunger and danger. When he says, "I am a man, I should support this family." What the readers see is not only the self-rescue of a time traveler, but also the hope of a family rising from suffering. "Siheyuan: I Was Forced to Be the Pillar" uses the contrasting setting of "small space, big survival" to write a hymn of family warmth and survival wisdom in the context of the famine years. If you want to feel the thrill of "survival in a desperate situation" and see how a lying young man uses his mind and responsibility to rewrite the fate of his family, this work will definitely make you feel the power of blood boiling in tears - after all, when survival becomes the highest mission, every breakthrough is worth raising your arms and shouting.
Fans of Siheyuan have read more than 30 completed books, but this one is the only one that has won my heart. The author's writing style is average, but the overall content is extremely rigorous, which puts me to shame even for a textualist like me. The grasp of that period is also quite good. I even suspect that the author himself is probably from Sijiucheng, and he has actually experienced that period and is very likely to be in the system, even if he is not very likely to have very close relatives in the capital system. I even think that this book can basically be used as a content guide for Siheyuan fans. It is also qualified as a textual research reference book for Siheyuan fans.
You've already watched Siheyuan, are you still smart? Let's not be so funny, okay? If you throw away your brain, all you can see are fine products. You can't demand too much from tomatoes.
1. Sign-in system + multiple female protagonists + tomb robbing + hunting and Chinese martial arts. 2. Silly Zhu's mother did not die. The family was not plotted and left the courtyard. 3. Veterans + Security Section. 4. A portrait artist working at the Public Security Bureau.
A very interesting Siheyuan novel! The protagonist comes to an era of shortage of materials and falls into the whirlpool of right and wrong in the courtyard. After being bullied, he awakens to the labor system, receives generous rewards for his labor, and toughens all the greedy neighbors.
