I want to read a book similar to "Dream of the Golden Chamber". We have bid farewell to the age of dreaming. We should be more awake, see the current situation clearly, and understand human nature. Take a look at "Dream of the Golden Mansion"

The writing of the novel is exquisite, the story is novel, the opening chapter is explosive and full of childishness, and the emotional drama between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is full of ambiguity. The short story is full of fun, about picking up girls, and is worth reading again and again to savor life.

50 Immortality******* ongoing —Reads5.8Score—Shelves
Reader note
Readers in their thirties have long been overwhelmed by mortgages, careers, and families. Who still believes in "Don't bully young people into poverty"? Who still fantasizes about "my fate is up to me"? The reality is - no matter how hard you try, you may not even be able to afford a "ship ticket". A cool article is a teenager's dream, but this article is the reality of middle age. When I was 20 years old, I watched "Fights Break the Sphere": ◦ "Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river!" - It was explosive! I also want to change my destiny against heaven! I read this article when I was 30 years old: ◦ "Dead people... Do not occupy a place." - Fuck, isn't this the subtext of my boss? When I was young, I thought I was Xiao Yan or Shi Hao, but ended up living like He Yong crowded in the yellow cabin. Even the bag of "hometown soil" in the storage bag became a luxury item. 2. Middle-aged people have long lost their enthusiasm for cultivating immortality. • You no longer believe that "you can achieve breakthroughs with hard work" because reality tells you - "Spiritual stones (money) are the last word." • You no longer fantasize about "killing the enemy by leapfrogging the enemy" because the workplace teaches you that "the rules are designed to crush you to death." •You finally understand that there is no difference between the "immortal world" and the "real society": ◦ Tianxingmeng = capital monopoly ◦ Boat ticket = class ticket ◦ Yellow-character cabin = social animal life ◦ Xuanzi-cabin = financial freedom boss 3. Why is this article more poignant? Because it's so damn real • The old monk's "three spiritual stones" are very much like the little down payment a middle-aged man needs. • Mother's "lie" is what every parent tells their children, "It's okay, parents can handle it." • He Yong's "hometown" is the old streets that you find have changed when you go home during the Chinese New Year. The cool article gives you dreams, this article gives you reality - and middle-aged people have stopped dreaming long ago. 4. What middle-aged readers want is not passion, but resonance. You will laugh when you watch "Dou Po", but after you laugh, you will find that you are still the same worker who is pressed to the ground by life. A cool article tells you: "You can win if you work hard!" This article tells you: "You try your best, but you may not even be qualified to board the ship. Middle-aged people do not lack chicken soup, but they lack someone who dares to tell the truth - and this article is the knife that tears apart the illusion. The final blow: "They desperately squeezed onto the ship, not because they believed there was hope ahead, but because there was no retreat behind them. "Look, isn't this the best portrayal of the mid-life crisis? "Fighting Po" is the passion of teenagers, and this article is the sobriety of middle age. And we are no longer young.
