Read this story about the educated youth, now fading into the past. You'll feel that half of this book is Outlaws of the Marsh and the other half is Dream of the Red Chamber.
The 1960s and 1970s. Heroic deeds and great events abound, while Shi Qian's petty schemes run throughout. On this yellow earth, the last glorious song of the martial world flashes briefly into existence.
Chasing dreams and giving one's life for a cause: those are the heart of the story. The dream is the research into "one-and-a-half-ton grain"; the cause is the infamous, absurd case that arose from it, "Better weeds than seedlings," a phrase known to every man, woman, and child.
Those who come after, and those who come after them, must know that there were thinkers and men of courage in those years.
A forest of monuments to love. The many heroines, their varied strength and tenderness, their tearjerking and lingering stories, and prose that will endure through the ages: if this book is second, what book could possibly be first?
Flowers fall and leaves turn yellow. Ask not where spring has gone. The tide-riders all break their oars and capsize.
Special note: Chapters 101 to 151 make up a separate, touching novella inserted into the main story. You can save it for last.
Theme: A gift for future generations, forever.
If you don't mind, you could change the title. This title really doesn't make anyone want to click on it. If I hadn't been searching extensively for male-centric stories, I wouldn't have come across this book. Of course, this is just a small suggestion; please go with what you like.
Keep it up, author! You've written so much already; you'll definitely be a big name in the industry someday. Keep up the good work, author!
I'm a little curious about what happened in the middle chapters; why are they all locked?
