Life Is Pretty Sweet

It's frustrating to watch; the protagonist is such a coward. I think I'll just stop watching.

The protagonist faces a barrage of problems: malicious medical disputes, the shadow of his dysfunctional family background, the pressures of middle age, education, mortgage payments, financial strain, marital conflicts, and both internal and external troubles. One can only say the protagonist is incredibly resilient, refusing to change and managing to persevere. The benefit of reading this book is that compared to the protagonist, you realize your own life isn't so bad. 😅

The author has released a new book! Congratulations!

My thoughts on "Life Is Pretty Sweet" – a trial run for everyone. This book isn't suitable for most readers. Why? Because it's too depressing and "unsatisfying." I don't consider myself a fan of wish-fulfillment novels, but you can't expect a novel to be too depressing, right? I don't expect the protagonist to be invincible, but I do expect him to be able to fight back against injustice, right?

I really dislike books about hospitals; they all portray them as wonderful, but hospitals are just bloodsuckers. Most public hospitals have been privatized, and their only goal is to make money! Now, even getting a tooth extracted requires signing a death waiver; regardless of whether the consequences are due to technical error, the patient bears all responsibility, and the hospital has no liability whatsoever.

The title is completely irrelevant; the story claims life is sweet, but it's filled with bitterness, sourness, and spiciness. It's incredibly depressing and a story that tortures the protagonist. Readers who were initially interested in reading this based on the title should probably skip this.

Medical disputes aren't so easy to resolve. When my mother was sick and went to Huashan Hospital in Shanghai for treatment, I saw someone trying to cause trouble. The security guards immediately dragged them away and put them in a police car. Trying to cause trouble at a top-tier hospital? They're really naive. And the person in question, a woman in her 30s, didn't have any will to fight back?

Truly remarkable! Every article closely follows current hot topics, and the results are astonishing!

Honestly, it's incredibly well-written; both the content and the emotions are spot-on. But it's just so depressing. Even though I know reality is like that, reading this part really ignited my own pent-up emotions. I didn't want to continue reading, but I was hoping for a positive turn later on, which didn't happen. I'm totally emotionally overwhelmed. I finished it in one go.

It's so depressing I can't bear to read it. The book is good, though; it would be perfect for a TV series.
