I only read BG and share some shamelessly sappy romances. Lots of older-man/younger-woman and brother-sister pairings. I just love watching two people fall in love and dance around each other. It makes my heart feel so good.

After reading the last chapter, I retrieved the Jinjiang account I registered eight hundred years ago, subscribed to the full text, and spent a long time figuring out how to write a long review. I feel ashamed to say that I used to eat for free on pirated articles websites. At that time, I was eating a pair of CP and looking for a meal replacement, so I found some pseudo-bone articles and read them randomly. Romance novels are mixed in quality, but when I read them, I read them all attentively and only for the emotional drama. It was the same when I first read this article. I only read a rough outline of the first ten or so chapters. I couldn't tell which chapter I started from and I read slowly and slowly. When I realized that I had read He Yicheng's speech at the government meeting word for word, I knew something was wrong. I read the whole article very carefully. The whole process felt very complicated, and it can be said that I had mixed feelings. Almost every few paragraphs, there is a text that brings me a lot of feelings. At the same time, the whole article slowly unfolds that era, mixing it into an indescribable emotion. How to describe it, it's like walking across a stream, with every step bringing splashes and ripples, feeling the water flow, swimming fish, sand and gravel, the stream twists and turns, merges into the river, the endless flow, being in it, but also detached from it, this is the feeling. So I am very hesitant to write a review, not knowing where to start. Let's talk about the characters first. The author is very good at creating characters, and no one in the novel is a living person. There are so many characters from different walks of life and backgrounds, and everyone feels right when they speak. The details are described in just a few strokes, and once you hit the mark, the characters stand out. The psychological activities are written in detail, but it does not feel lengthy. The writing method is not straightforward, but it can make people understand and empathize. To be honest, I can empathize with almost every character, even supporting characters such as Zhan Youqing, Song Rushu, and Lin Meijuan. Let's talk about the main characters. Show your face. She actually has many advantages, but they are overshadowed by her beauty. Her character is not the kind of romance novel protagonist with a clear personality. She is very multi-faceted, and each side is not particularly clear. It also changes, tears, and is inconsistent over time, which is not pleasing to readers. But it felt real to me. Her background has not changed, but people will grow and change, especially in their teens and twenties, when people grow and change the fastest, and changes in all aspects of society have been brought to her in various ways. She has a weak side and a tough side, a silly side and a sober side. With her growth history, it is reasonable to have such contradictions. The entire environment is full of such contradictions. The author said that this article focuses on shaping the growth of the heroine, and I think it has been achieved. He Tunan. This is a character whose behavior is very contradictory, but who actually has a very distinct personality. He can give everything he has regardless of everything, or he can turn around and break off the relationship. In the final analysis, it is because he is indeed a very stingy person. His stinginess was laid out a lot in the early stages. The theme of his life, besides women (the definite article must be added), is his father. You have to resist your father, you have to fight for your father, you have to fight with your father, you have to prove yourself to your father. His entire emotional line involves his father (stomach-breaking). Therefore, it is completely reasonable for him to hate Zhan Yan's choice. After reading it, he also grew up. Sun Wanqiu and Xu Muyuan. One of these two people came from a declining countryside, and the other came from a declining working class. Both were clearly marked by their origins, but they both came out. Regardless of whether they have academic qualifications or not, they have all achieved leaps and bounds by relying on their own intelligence. They are all bound to have a bright future, and they can also be said to be figures with a distinct mark of the times. Sun Wanqiu's character is particularly three-dimensional. She is not a supporting role, but the protagonist of her own story. He Yicheng. To be honest, the only thing I hated about the whole story was him. I didn't even watch the extras because I wanted to keep hating him. You can probably guess what his past stories are like. I can't stand BE. If I did, I probably wouldn't be able to get over it, and I would have to empathize with him and forgive his behavior. Adopting an ex's daughter, abandoning his wife and children to kill people, beating a mandarin duck, who can endure these things? If he has feelings for Zhan Yan other than father and daughter, although he is abnormal, his behavior is more reasonable. The author's writing style made me constantly doubt this, but in the end it proved not to be the case. Finally, let's talk about the real protagonist of this story, time. I was born in 1987, and the ten years written in the book were the most important transition period in my life from boyhood to youth. It was also an era when the entire country and society underwent earth-shaking changes. The pain of life and the world resonates fiercely. Everything mentioned in the book, such as Rukawa Maple, Jianlibao, Olympic bid, snowstorm, SARS, Wenchuan earthquake... Are all experienced by our generation. The reform of state-owned enterprises, laid-off workers, migrant workers moving into the city, soaring housing prices... They were all staged vigorously outside the window. When I was there, I really felt confused and felt the impermanence of the world. Looking back, I feel melancholy. The whole book gives people a melancholy feeling. I felt the loneliness that Zhan Yan often felt at the end of the book. The emotional line in the book is very pure love, very extreme, to the point where you and I can't tell each other apart and fight to the death. This is totally my cup of tea, although it is subtly inconsistent with the realism background of the entire story. In the early stages, the relationship progressed a little quickly, but later on, Henhai Qingtian was very touching, and the final words were all explained clearly without making people feel aggrieved. But the relationship between the two makes me feel more like two animals (not in a derogatory sense), the kind of emotion that is completely instinctive. In other words, it is like a pull-along seedling, like two vitalities, one from the countryside and one from the city, with different roots but the same source, and they are intertwined. The author has such a good writing style, and if he writes serious literature, he will definitely achieve something. Nowadays, romance and worldly affairs are mixed together, and the audience becomes blurred. But it suits my taste, and I am very lucky to come across such a work.
After reading this book, I couldn't get over the story of He Yicheng and Mingxiu. I felt sad for their ending. Mingxiu was too beautiful and kind, and she shouldn't have such a life. Because readers have the perspective of God, I understand He Yicheng's feelings and behavior towards Zhanyan. He puts his love for Mingxiu and his guilt for Mingxiu on Zhanyan. Who can say that he treats Zhanyan as his and Mingxiu's daughter, not to make up for his and Mingxiu's regrets! He Yicheng's biggest problem was his silence to Lin Meijuan, which caused Lin Meijuan's suspicion and collapse. If you think about it carefully, there are reasons for He Yicheng's silence. First, because of his background. Witnessing his aunt's betrayal of the whole family in that era made him understand that even the closest people who were related by blood could not believe it. Second, in his heart, he believed that he and Mingxiu were together, and Zhanyan was their daughter. Perhaps only by thinking this way did he feel that he and Mingxiu were not separated.
I didn't dare to read the story of Mingxiu's mother. I had a gut feeling that the past would be too painful and sad. But this is the best book I've ever read among all the pseudo-bone novels. I saw some people saying they couldn't understand why Father Liang killed someone for the heroine. I intuitively felt that this was the most explicit way to vent his feelings for Mingxiu and the heroine. At that moment, he was a madman who was angry for his lover and daughter.
I don't know how to describe the story of Mingxiu and He Yicheng in detail in this book. After reading it, I felt very shaken. It's so hard to watch that people can't get out of it, and the experience makes people addicted to it.
After reading the line about parents, I recalled what Mingxiu wrote in a letter to Zhanyan, saying that I wanted to cry if I had to trust Uncle He as much as I trust my mother.
Parents, please give me an IF line. It's so distressing.
Except for the last few chapters of "Parental Love", basically all of them have been ordered. I cried all the time. It's really well written and very empathetic. But there is one thing that I feel is a fly in the ointment. Yan Yan let go of He Tunan too quickly. He left He Tunan so heartlessly for three years and got back together shortly after coming back. The tears I shed earlier were in vain. The reality should be that he chases his wife to the crematorium + tortures him to the point of collapse for five chapters and tortures him to the point where he wants to commit suicide to make up for the damage done to Yan Yan.
After reading the last chapter, I retrieved the Jinjiang account I registered eight hundred years ago, subscribed to the full text, and spent a long time figuring out how to write a long review.

I shed too many tears for Mingxiu and He Yicheng. People in that era were really suffering.
Taking a step back, is it true that you can't update a few chapters of the parent love if line he version? 😭 😭 I want Mingxiu to see the world and be loved well 😭 😭 😭 😭
