   Is this really the best book I've ever read on Jinjiang Literature City? It's the best one I've ever read. The writing is incredibly delicate, with many details that resonate deeply, making you feel like you're right there in the story. At the same time, it's powerful; after reading it, you feel warm all over, as if you have the drive to pursue the whole world. On that isolated southern island, there are feudal shackles, the coldness of human relationships, and the arrogance of patriarchy, but there is also a group of brave and warm-hearted girls who can hold hands and break through everything, with the gentle breeze blowing for them. This book will make you think more deeply about the plight of women. It's not just about slogans, but about seeing the unseen women, about having their names proudly written together, about youth shining brightly in the sunlight. This is a story about youth, about tolerance, love, the past and the future, laughter and tears, anger and resentment. The waves roll, the new wind blows, and together we head towards a bigger world. Finally, I'll conclude with a quote from the book: "The real ocean is not a fishbowl; it cannot be smashed by anyone."

   From the writing style to the plot to the character design, it's top-notch in every aspect! It's truly a hidden gem, with incredibly delicate emotions. Love, family, and friendship intertwine and pull together, but it's not some melodramatic, artificially sentimental story. Every character is fleshed out, with their own perspectives and thoughts, collectively creating the warm core of the story. Actually, I've never been a big fan of incestuous relationships before, but this one is truly different. It's not a mass-produced story on the bestseller lists, just stitching together various classic elements. You can feel the author's maturity and warmth (and of course, talent!). You accompany them through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, watching them grow, and it feels like the wrinkles in your heart are being smoothed out. I have so much more to say, but I just want to shout this out: You'll be missing out if you don't read it!! The whole world should read it!
