   This book is incredibly good! It's about everyday family life, a slice-of-life story. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm and cozy daily life of the main family. A major strength is its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the cents or tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't many awful characters. It feels like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.

    Lin Weidong knelt on the cold cement floor, his back straight. Each time he bowed and kowtowed, the dull thud of his forehead hitting the ground felt like a heavy hammer blow to his heart. His eyes were tightly closed, his teeth clenched, only the muscles in his cheeks twitching slightly. In his ears was his mother Zhou Guilan's suppressed, intermittent sobs, the sound like sandpaper scraping against his eardrums. His younger sister, Lin Xuemei, huddled beside their mother, her thin shoulders trembling like the last withered leaf in the autumn wind, clutching the cuff of their mother's old cotton-padded coat tightly, her knuckles white from the force, large tears rolling silently down her cheeks, splashing onto the polished blue brick floor, leaving a small, dark, damp stain. "Guodong... How could you... Be so heartless..." His mother's voice was hoarse and broken, every word soaked with the juice of despair. The images from his past life, cold and sharp, pierced the depths of Lin Weidong's mind more piercingly than the brick floor in the dead of winter—his elder brother, Lin Jianguo, wearing a faded military uniform, lay in a scorched, muddy trench on the southwestern border, blood soaking through the family photo in his breast pocket; his younger sister, Lin Xuemei, huddled on a cold earthen bed in a remote mountain village in the north, delirious with a high fever, her face chapped and cracked from the wind and sun, filled with despair; his mother, Zhou Guilan, lay in bed, thin as a skeleton, her cloudy eyes staring at the roof covered with old newspapers, her last breath swallowed with endless worry…
