   Real Gold in Tomatoes is particularly, highly recommended. It feels like a refreshing novel in the early stage, but it is not as brainless as other books. It has delicate characterizations and many foreshadowings. In the later period, it becomes more and more similar to historical texts. The classics are constantly in the book, and the group portraits are beginning to appear. The author is particularly careful, and the historical annotations help readers better understand the book.
