   Set in 1970s Beijing, the story is very detailed and realistic. The author's writing style is distinctive, lacking the fast-paced, exciting plots of some online novels; instead, it focuses mostly on the small, everyday events of life. The warmth and humanity of everyday life are what truly touch the heart. I sincerely hope the author continues writing.
