   Reader note

   I recommend "The Bank Manager's Dead End," a workplace novel with sophisticated political intrigue. It depicts how Ma Yuquan, a bank manager, transforms from a visionary, ambitious, and patriotic woman with a strong sense of purpose in finance, into someone who is gradually swayed and loses her way in the face of power and unscrupulous capital, ultimately leading to her downfall. The novel is fast-paced, well-written, and richly plotted, featuring elements such as best friends stealing boyfriends, the protagonist secretly giving birth at an advanced age while single, and scheming a legal adoption.

    Reader note

    Some novels are placed on a bookshelf after reading, while others become embedded in one's life. This work belongs to the latter. Set on an abandoned railway, and featuring a mentally challenged vagrant as its protagonist, it constructs a complete world of beauty, destruction, memory, and rebirth with extremely restrained language and a rigorous structure. Daisies sprout again and again from the cracks in the rubble, only to disappear; knights protect again and again, only to be forgotten. This is not repetition, but a profound allegory about "the cycle itself being eternity." That small white flower, its six petals unfolding towards the sky between the tracks, that withered figure, trousers down, charging towards the setting sun—it possesses all the qualities to become a literary classic. It deserves to be read, discussed, and remembered.
