   Go read it, it's pure, unadulterated enjoyment, purely enjoyable without any gender discrimination. There aren't any messy, purely evil characters. Everyone has a different way of thinking depending on their perspective. But so far, it doesn't seem to have any sense of ensemble cast. There are a few minor logical inconsistencies, but they're still acceptable.

    It's truly amazing! The players' quirky behavior, the harmonious coexistence of people in the small world, the girls helping each other, and creating a better future together. As they explore their future path, the book uses examples to illustrate principles, broadening horizons and conveying correct ideas to the reader. I saw comments mentioning "Marxist thought" and "political lessons," and I wholeheartedly agree. I feel that the examples in the book help to better understand profound political knowledge. I really love this book; not only is the subject matter novel, but the content is also rich and educational, making it worth reading repeatedly. Knowledge and principles aren't simply presented; rather, they are gained through a process of understanding. The characters are vivid and three-dimensional—Sheng Nan, Hu Yun, the Calabash Brothers, etc.—All have their own thoughts and are "eager to improve"! 👍👍👍
