   The female protagonist is a real child, with a father who works hard and takes care of the family, an excellent mother who is busy building her business, a grandmother, and a twin brother who is a super sister-obsessed brother who talks about his sister all the time. She also has a group of cute and loving friends: a little feather, a little mosquito, a little raindrop, a little pumpkin, a little chair, Warm Warm, and so on. Each of her friends has their own unique characteristics. The story doesn't just focus on the protagonist's growth; it's a group portrait of a different era, written in a heartwarming and captivating style.

   The female protagonists in both books are genuinely childlike, adorable, and carefree. The first book doesn't feature two opposing characters; both are cute, innocent, and without worries. The writing style is delicate and heartwarming, especially from a child's perspective. The second book is a Hong Kong-style story set in a slightly more fantastical era. In short, the children in both are very cute.

   The first book I read was incredibly cute, "Little Man"! The author is truly amazing; the characters aren't flat, they're fleshed out. I shed many tears while reading it. Little Man's birth was an accident, but her mother and the grandparents, siblings, and other relatives around her were all incredibly kind to her from a young age. Grandpa A-Cai appears in Little Man's memories in the book, teaching her many lessons, such as the theory that people turn into stars after they die. (The following is the main text) Lin Xiaoman said, "That brightest star is my Grandpa A-Cai." Wen Yike momentarily forgot to cry. She looked at the stars in the sky and saw the brightest one, asking curiously, "Why did your Grandpa A-Cai become a star?" Lin Xiaoman innocently stated the cruel truth, "Because Grandpa A-Cai died. When someone dies, you can never see them again. When you miss him, you can only look at the stars in the sky, and if the weather is bad, you can't see them at all." Wen Yike was a few months younger than Lin Xiaoman; she didn't understand what death was. She looked blankly at the sky, listening to Lin Xiaoman talk about her life in the village. "There's a river in our village. The village head said that every year, children who go to play in the water get swept away and die. Their parents will never see them again, and they'll never see their parents again." "I saw an aunt in the village who was so sad because her little brother died that she cried until she went blind." "Everyone else whispers to the stars, to the people in heaven, wishing for wealth and health, but I heard this aunt crying, saying she hoped her child was doing well in heaven, eating well and being warmly dressed, and taking care of himself even though his parents weren't by his side." This book is both funny and touching; it's really good! The second book doesn't just focus on the female protagonist's life; it's more of an ensemble piece. There's her great-grandfather, a geologist who has passed away but is present for most of the book; her grandparents who experienced war; her father, an early test pilot; her mother, a doctor who worked diligently her whole life; her brother, a very capable policeman… The female protagonist is no longer the so-called "perfect heroine." Initially, because she was born prematurely and couldn't count, her combined score across several subjects was less than 60, making her a poor student in the conventional sense. However, the female protagonist has been interested in fossils since childhood and has a natural talent for geology. With the support of her family, she ultimately achieves great success. I highly recommend it. You might feel frustrated in the first few chapters, but trust me, keep reading. You can sense that the author is a very insightful and knowledgeable person with strong moral values.

The brother is very cute and has a bit of a lucky charm quality. Because there are fewer ratings, the score is a bit low. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the protagonist's family. Its strengths are its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't too many awful characters. It feels like truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be read as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.
