East of the Pu River

Personally, I believe that dialect is an important component of the work. It helps to express the characters' inner thoughts, personality traits, regional characteristics, customs, and so on, making a simple, clear, and memorable impression. Considering the context, there should be very few parts that are truly incomprehensible.

The author wrote this book specifically with the intention of adapting it into a TV series.

Happy New Year to you all! Wishing you all the best!

From the very first chapter, I could tell the author wasn't a native Shanghainese. First, Shanghainese people never say "alley" but "lane hall." Second, breakfast of rice porridge with stir-fried vegetables? Simplicity is key, right? Usually, it's leftovers from last night, plus some fermented tofu and pickled vegetables.

With such a great subject matter, even more exciting than the previous book, it's bound to win another big award!

First, the two narrative threads have been eliminated and replaced with a chronological order, starting with the 1980s and then the 1990s. Second, appropriate adjustments have been made to the dialect, prioritizing easily understandable expressions. These adjustments may take some time, so please be patient, readers.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm back again. Both books are very good. I've read about 20 chapters of this new book. I'll subscribe and read it slowly. 😁

The author uses a dual-narrative structure; could you please indicate the timeline when switching between it? Otherwise, jumping around is a bit tiring.

I always have to skip around and can't find the logical flow, which is very frustrating.

Happy New Year to the racing legend! May your writing be brilliant!
