Off the coast of Guangdong, south of Nancheng, separated from the city by a narrow stretch of sea. Nan Island Middle School is a boarding high school ranked first in the city. It’s known as “the island’s pride,” yet it is directly administered by the city’s education bureau, and 90% of its enrollment places go to children from the city across the water. The island is poor, and its schools are short on qualified teachers. That year, only two students from Fangkou Village, 45.9kFavorites30.3kClicks/ch49.9kGifts

   It's so well written... Actually, I don't really like reading youth campus articles, but this one is a work about decay and rebirth, fate and resistance, life and death, in the context of a youth campus in a small town.

   It's very interesting, there are a lot of laughs in the early stages, and the pace of the article is also very good. A grand narrative from an all-female perspective, with wonderful descriptions of characters, plot, and scenes. Maybe it's because the time I watched was inconsistent, but I felt that the final battle was a bit too fast, as if I couldn't imagine how this could happen before. But overall it's a very good article and definitely worth reading!

3. 3 旧 Old Snow Is Hard to Melt 旧雪难融 Wen Du文笃Baihe (GL)644k WordsCompleted Originally titled Fake Paris This story features a disabled, depressed taxi driver x an obsessive, disillusioned model When Qiu Yiran was twenty-six, she spent all her savings to buy a taxi. She drove around picking up passengers day and night, but most took one look at the disability sticker and turned around to get out. Someone asked why she didn’t try a different line of work. She rubbed her painfully numb left leg and smiled good-naturedly. “I’ve tried other things, too.” At twenty-four, L 73.8kFavorites62.1kClicks/ch129.8kGifts

   Yun Shuchen - one of the ceilings of society in my heart. It's a pity that the article feels weak and weak at the end.

   Like it very much. As the author said, this is a sticky and moist love. The delicate and tangled love makes people want to cry. Love and hate are intertwined, penetrated and torn but cannot be peeled off. They are patient but willing to fall. Finally, it explodes in the depression, like a moment of pleasure before the end. The length of the T^T article is just right, and the various perspective changes and confessions are a stroke of genius. Once, love was hidden in the blues moment, and the moon could not shine. Later, "Your dream fell into the palm of my hand. The moon reflected the light and also illuminated you. I fled in the dangerous dawn. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers witnessed me running towards you." I'm really looking forward to Teacher Dongye Xing's next work!

   Each character is portrayed vividly, three-dimensionally and complexly, and cannot be simply defined by words of good and evil, loyalty and treachery. I marveled at the life of each character, feeling that this was something that really happened in the long history. Looking at the majesty of the whole text, I couldn't think of a better ending than this. Teacher Ningyuan is forever a god!! After reading it, I still feel a little disappointed.

7. 7 无 Rose of the No-Man’s-Land 无人区玫瑰 Carefree Banter无心谈笑Baihe (GL)403k WordsCompleted - Xia Xingmian loves her sugar mommy, Lu Qiurui. She stayed quietly by Lu Qiurui's side for three years, thinking that one day Lu would come to love her. But in all that time, Lu never once looked her way. On Xia Xingmian's twenty-first birthday, Lu Qiurui told her, “Let's end this. I've fallen for someone else.” That night, Xia Xingmian drank herself into a stupor. With alcohol clouding her mind, she wandered over to Lu Qiurui's house on instinct. The next morning, once the alcohol had worn o 92kFavorites85.3kClicks/ch93.8kGifts

   The method of telling stories is very novel among the Lily novels I have read. All the doubts and unreasonableness are answered one by one in the follow-up, and the details are interlocked to form a closed loop. For example, a passage from Haruki Murakami appears in the article, "Behind the things we think we know a lot about, there are equal amounts of unknown factors lurking. The so-called understanding is usually just the sum of misunderstandings." There are problems with the suspension of the piano part and the sub-CP, but the overall flaws are not concealed. Eat it with "One Step Away" and "Dancing in the Night", listen to the "Echo of the Wilderness", and have a "scheduled" dream, it is a wonderful and wonderful experience.

9. 9 降 The Art of Taming the Dragon 降龙诀［穿书］ The Moon Rises at Dusk时微月上Baihe (GL)880k WordsCompleted This novel will go VIP on November 2. Thank you for your support. Luo Qingci knew her name sounded like it belonged to the heroine of a historical romance, but she never imagined she'd actually transmigrate into a cultivation novel. What made it even more exasperating was that she hadn't become the heroine, but the heroine's doomed master. This cultivation novel was a classic story about a powerful female lead. The problem was, the heroine wasn't human. She was a dragon. In a world where humans 77.3kFavorites96kClicks/ch285.2kGifts

    I would call it a literary work! Jinjiang refused to allow five stars and specially changed two ratings to give Li E five stars (the other two teachers were sorry and manually gave five stars).
