    This book is quite lengthy, so those who enjoy slow and careful reading should definitely check it out. While there are some immature parts, a warm atmosphere permeates the text. Being with family gives you a sense of belonging, of someone waiting for you. Home isn't a cold, impersonal house, nor is it a fairytale paradise; it's a place of mixed joy and sorrow, a place of memories. Who wouldn't want unconditional support? It contains both embarrassing moments and unbreakable bonds; it's a place to return to, but also a heavy burden… Jiaojiao is a lucky girl, and this luck begins to spread from her. Even in the deepest night, there's hope for dawn. Because there are others, we are not alone. Jiaojiao is a girl who spreads luck, and she hopes that everyone who reads this book will also become lucky and pass on this good fortune. Thank you.
