    I absolutely love the second book. The female lead is a child at the beginning of the second book, and her parents are a bit extreme. They are quite lazy, but when they find out that they caused their child's tragic death, they push themselves to become better and set a good example for their child. Most importantly, the female lead's parents are not the kind of people who would rather starve themselves than spend money on their child.

    I can guess which genius wrote this using a secondary account. It depicts 50 years of Shanghai's transformation through the life of a middle-aged man, written in a style reminiscent of Liang Xiaosheng's *The World*. Definitely worth reading. A middle-aged man's extraordinary journey of growth and survival skills! It'll bring tears to your eyes! It could perhaps be renamed *The Survival Guide of Zhang Jianguo with His Divine Nose*, a flavorful period novel, very enjoyable! [Added to bookshelf][Already added][Original author fan]
