   This book is super good! The protagonist, a junior high school student, realizes he won't make it to the college entrance exam and decides to attend a vocational school to avoid being sent to the countryside. Because there are fewer reviewers, the rating is a bit low. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the protagonist's family. Its strength lies in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the few cents or a few tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't many awful items. It feels like truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical fiction combined with a farming/rural story.

   Sixty-six years ago, the female protagonist finished her advanced studies at Beijing Foreign Studies University and then pursued graduate studies after the Reform and Opening Up! When she wrote her graduate thesis, she was already the fourth-highest-ranking official in her province. Her thesis detailed her reforms to the economy and foreign trade, astonishing her professor. This incredibly ambitious and studious woman's political career, from a state-owned factory to a ministry and then to the provincial government, is incredibly satisfying and intellectually stimulating. It avoids the clichés of period dramas, focusing entirely on her career after handling family and romantic issues. The male protagonist is essentially a sidekick to her, but he doesn't hinder her career pursuits. Highly recommended!
