Sixteen and Forty-One

Taking the mother-daughter body swap between He Yu and He Momo as the main line, different women are introduced, including the selfish grandmother Han Xiufeng, Yu Qiaoxi who is dedicated to He Yu, the naive and reckless Lin Songxue, and the soft but not weak Shi Xinyue... There is me in you, and you in me. We are both women, reflecting each other. The mother-daughter relationship is a mixture of love, disgust and power. Han Xiufeng treats He Yu more like a power domination based on love, and her extreme self-interest allows her to live a good life. She wants He Yu to "replicate" her success story, thinking this is why Yu is good. Once He Yu disobeys, she will take back her love; He Yu Yu's love for He Momo is mixed with self-loathing, and she pays with all her might in order to prevent He Momo from following her own path. However, out of self-loathing and power control, she is unwilling to reveal her true feelings to He Momo. In the silence day after day, a gap gradually develops. Lin Songxue is more in line with He Yu's imagination of a sixteen-year-old girl than He Momo - "always distinguishing between black and white, always reckless and naive, always accepting praise instead of criticism, always embracing dreams and not knowing how to compromise." She is a more innocent version of He Momo, with a shadow of Yu Qiaoxi in her body. Yu Qiaoxi said that she didn't learn what home is from her parents. In fact, what she didn't learn was how to love. After rolling in the thorns, she chose to show her sharp fangs and face everyone. Only He Yu really came down like a shower of rain. Yu Qiaoxi couldn't do anything to her. The two accompanied each other for many years. Yu Qiaoxi embodies the strong subjectivity of a woman. She doesn't like He Momo because she watched step by step how He Yu became "He Momo's mother". She is the strongest lock between He Yu's "self" and "mother". Her bad words are like a silent cry: Don't be coerced by "greatness", don't be bound by the identity of a mother. You are He Yu. You are not only a mother, you are also He Yu. Yu Qiaoxi may not be so lovable, but she is indeed the person who loves He Yu the most in the world. He Yu taught her what love is. She protected He Yu's self with force and caution. How lucky she is to have such a friend. Lin Songxue also doesn't understand love, but when she was still young, she met He Momo, the gentle and mature He Momo. He Momo is actually very similar to He Yu. In other words, everyone's perception and definition of love comes more from kinship. He Momo is lovable but heartbreaking. To a certain extent, she imitates the way He Yu loves her. She always gives silently to Lin Songxue, and even the final breakup was out of protection. He Momo completed his self-growth day after day under He Yu's clumsy and silent love. She was mature and sensible, more like a mother than He Yu, but she was only sixteen years old, and she could obviously be more willful and reckless. Fortunately, there was Lin Songxue, and fortunately He Yu. I prefer to call it the feedback of love. He Momo loved them, and they gave back their sixteen years to He Momo. Shi Zhaodi and Shi Xinyue are also characters that impressed me deeply. Their mother-daughter relationship is more pure. They are each other's support in this world. Faced with domestic violence, Shi Zhaodi didn't seem to care so much. She didn't dare to sue or confront him, saying that I could kill him. The author suppressed his enthusiasm first, which made people hate him. Then he changed his description of her from "Shi Xinyue's mother" to "Shi Zhaodi". A name made it clear why she wanted to say this. At that moment, I felt that I was also designed by the author. The anger and sadness outside the book are not a kind of standing and talking without pain. Shi Zhaodi was unfortunate. She questioned the world to no avail. The rule of peaceful coexistence she learned was "to endure", so what she taught Shi Xinyue was also to endure. Shi Zhaodi once escaped, but she gave up everything and chose to come back for Shi Xinyue. Shi Xinyue knew that her mother loved her and that her mother had given her everything she could, so she did not complain, but just planned silently. The mother restrained herself for her daughter, and her daughter gave her the courage of an eighteen-year-old girl in return. She does not ask her mother to die for her, she wants to fight for a better future for each other on her own - "Hello, I want to sue someone. I am eighteen years old today, and I want to sue someone." Adults have many worries after being polished by the world, while teenagers have the courage to make a desperate move even though they know the consequences. Mom, you have done your best to be a strong mother, and leave the rest to me. The motherhood and daughterhood are fully reflected in the mutual support between the two. This story is not perfect. When read in full, it feels like the theme comes first. It tells a lot of truths and is filled with a lot of dialogue and debate. Occasionally, you may even get a glimpse of the author's own struggles and inquiries. The story is to fulfill her truth, rather than the truth gradually breaking through as the story unfolds. But I think it's not necessarily that the author can't write well, but that what she wants to convey cannot be expressed in a more obscure way. The relationship between mother and daughter, kinship, motherhood and self, marriage, family, love and dreams are all very important. She chooses to use various games to smash her opinions at the readers. Only with enough impact can they break the inertia of thinking and think. Although there are several male characters in the article, this is still a story that belongs to women. It is not a romance, but a story about the heroine's love for Wu. Nvwu is really unpopular, but the author is still willing to bring this story under such circumstances. This is her sincerity and courage. I am not willing to leave after reading it hastily, so I leave a long review, nonsense and incomprehensible words, but I also hope that the feedback can bring you some comfort. Thanks.

A very satisfying story, I was very happy after reading it

Oh my god, I finished reading it in half a day. I cried in almost every chapter. The author's writing is really good. Women are really soft and tough beings. The difficulties faced by mothers and daughters are analyzed so comprehensively that it can resonate so well. I like it ヾ(*ΦωΦ)ツ

It's so good to watch and cry! My favorite book this year so far!! The plot of the mother and daughter is very engaging, and I love the scene of He Yu nagging in the silent shell, embodying the mother in the girl's body. Every character is wonderful. Auntie Qiaoxi, Grandma Shi Zhaodi, and Teacher Zhaodiren all have their own outstanding qualities, surpassing many group portraits.

It made me cry. I want to recommend it to my mother.

Have a good time, Momo and Songxue hahahaha

The author is not a mother? No, can't they all be written down?? It's hard for you

I cried from beginning to end after watching it for four hours 😭

It's so well written. It's the practice of both a daughter and a mother. She gets closer to understand it. I'm glad I've set off, and I'm glad you're still waiting for me.

Love this extra!!! This song is too good!!!
