    It's very good to watch, although I was deceived by the author to read it (for someone like me who can't tolerate any abuse, it's really sad, I cried a lot when Li Hanxing was beaten by a car), but it's really good, the whole emotional description is very delicate, the author's writing is very good, whether it's family, friendship or love. The writing is very good. When I read it later, I felt that the lives of Shen Xiaoxi, Lu Xiaoming, and Li Xiaoxing were very difficult. They have experienced too much hardship in the first half of their lives. They must be happy in the second half of their lives. Finally, I wish Shen Xi, Lu Jingming, Li Hanxing, Xia Binbin, Blooming, and the five of you will always be together and have a good life!
