(A super realistic article about middle-aged people in the market, recommended by Breaking the Defense) This chronicle article, I even know the location and dialect, I have definitely experienced it. The 50-year history of changes in Shanghai is depicted in the life of a middle-aged man. The writing style is very similar to Liang Xiaosheng's "Human World", which is worth reading. A middle-aged man's story of his growth in spiritual power! I cried when I saw it! It seems that it can be renamed "Shenbi Zhang Jianguo Gou Dao Ji". It is a flavorful period text and looks good! ! !

Non-wearing, non-heavy, no golden fingers. The first novel about old Shanghai and the Republic of China, she is a swallow, a wild rose, and Su Yan. "Smoke, the past is like smoke," Wild Rose opened the window, and the rain outside became more intense. She stretched out her hand, and the breeze and heavy rain passed through her fingers without leaving a trace. "They say names are opposites. I want to fight to death and become the smoke of history." The second book is an ordinary story about ordinary people in the alleys of old Beijing. Don't look at the low rating now, it is because there are few people who have rated it. There are only two four-star reviews out of 22 and the others are all five-stars.

Is literature good in old Tianjin? Reborn back to the 1990s, the opening chapter is hilarious, and the protagonist is all pretentious. He was an ordinary person in both lives. After being reborn, he made some money by fighting crickets. It is a good story with a sense of the times. The most important thing is that this book is written by hand, there is no AI at all!

🍃(1). This is a book about a big boss in the Beijing circle and a beautiful college student. When we first met, the heroine was a tutor hired by the hero's family. It was sadistic yet sweet, a super nice book🤗 🍃 (2.) The heroine left her ex-boyfriend who shared poverty but could not share wealth😱. From innocence on campus to hard work in the workplace, he knows what he wants, lives an ordinary life seriously, meets an excellent male protagonist, and has a perfect ending. 💕 (3). Marriage and sex are permanent topics in life. You can not lose yourself in the bustling world of Shanghai💫. The book seat has a sense of age and authenticity, and a man with upright views is infinitely charming. 🤫
