46 1 1962: The Chill of Spring Has Yet to Fade Xinlei from Wangzhou10k WordsCompleted —Reads8.5Score—Shelves

Reader note

In the early spring of 1962, the chill had not yet faded, and the lingering threat of famine still hung over the countryside. This story has no floating golden fingers or cheating counterattacks. It tells the story of an ordinary person who returns to the hard times with regrets from his past life and tries his best to protect his family and change his destiny. The protagonist Lin Jianjun lived a useless life in his previous life. He always gave in and tolerated, and was squeezed out by his relatives. He gave up the opportunities that should have belonged to him. In the end, his family was ruined and his life was miserable. When he came back from rebirth, he did not publicize his bizarre past, but only regarded a painful nightmare as a wake-up call. Faced with the increasing calculations of his uncle's family, begging for life-saving rations, coveting work points, and competing for factory quotas, he no longer blindly talks about kindness and knows how to guard his own bottom line. The most touching part of the story is the real background of the times. The embarrassment of lack of food, the kidnapping of favors in a society of favors, and the helplessness of honest people who are often bullied are all vividly portrayed. Family affection is not just tenderness. Parents are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and they were also coerced by family affection. After their son laid out the facts and settled old scores, they slowly woke up and the family became one. It explains a truth: kindness should not be without edges and corners. Tolerance does not mean bottomless sacrifice, and family affection should not be an excuse for plunder. Lin Jianjun doesn't want to be a mean villain, he just doesn't want to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb again, so he wants to keep food, protect his parents, and fight for his own future. From refusing to borrow food, to clarifying the unfairness of work points in public, to winning the recruitment quota based on his true ability, every step was taken steadily, and he earned his way out by relying on his own brains and backbone. After reading the whole story, my heart felt heavy. The suffering of the times is heavy on ordinary people. Their fate can be disappointed, but people can choose not to bow to suffering. The regrets of the past life will all be made up for in this life. There is no good luck from heaven, only struggle step by step. This is not only a rebirth and counterattack, but also a growth about protecting your family and keeping your true heart. Although the spring cold is severe, as long as you keep the bottom line in your heart, you can face the cold wind and find your own way to survive.
