    It is a coming-of-age story that is close to the reality of the original era. It abandons the clichés of rebirth novels and is full of real texture. If you are tired of the 1980s novels that are full of rebirths, bloody conflicts between village bullies, and cheating to get rich, you can read this book. There is no time travel, no space system, and no exaggerated strong conflict plots in the whole story. It completely follows the original realistic route of ordinary people. The story is based on the real experiences of real people, focusing on the entire half-life of an ordinary young man in a small town in the 1990s. The male protagonist does not have a strong personality, no unlucky opportunities, an introverted and timid personality, and his life is full of gaps and ordinary difficulties. The scenery of elementary school, the isolation and depression caused by rumors in junior high school, the wasted time in high school, the two-way love with Qingmei but regrettably missing it, and the long-term wandering and poverty when he went out to work as an adult. All the difficulties were the real daily experiences of ordinary people at the bottom of that era. There is no deliberate creation of censorship scenes such as house fights, power conflicts, or forced childbirth and bondage. The details of the neighborhood, campus, and working life are in line with the original appearance of the times. The living conditions and the mentality of the characters are all realistic, and there will be no elegant settings that are out of touch with the times. The writing style is plain and restrained, focusing on growth and detailed fireworks. The blank spaces for regrets are natural and soft. There is no revenge and counterattack in the style of Shuangwen. It focuses on depicting the quiet and stumbling years of ordinary people. It is suitable for readers who pursue realism and do not like exaggerated and bloody plots.
