The Wind Rises in 1981

Based on this synopsis, I thought the protagonist had been reborn as a mother of four.

I can't believe it! How little do you know about 1981? You're talking about tens or hundreds of dollars all the time! And some thug even asked for five thousand? Back then, pork was sold by the cent, and there was a double-ticket system! Drivers couldn't fix cars, so opening a repair shop was a joke? There was no security at the mines? A piece of clothing cost tens of dollars!

In the 1980s, drivers learned to repair cars before they learned to drive, okay? A driver who can't repair cars? Are you kidding me?

It's well-written, but in 1981, the monthly salary was only 15-30 yuan. How could a car repair, especially a major one, cost that much? And why would a driver carry so much cash?

Twenty-odd thugs, and the mine can't handle them? Do they need any tough guys to go down the mine? The mine manager gives a shout, and these guys are all wiped out. The protagonist even has to come to their aid. They're really weak.

This is a story written by a 90s kid about the 80s. Tell me, where did you get the courage to write it? It's nothing special; not a single plot point reflects anything from the 80s.

Poisonous. So poisonous. The waterfall is poisonous. The author, born in the 2000s, shouldn't be writing about the 1980s. That was an era where carrying one yuan meant you were rich, much wealthier than people driving cars worth two or three hundred thousand yuan on the street today. Please understand and respect that era.

It's written fairly well. But... I don't know the situation with the steering wheel in 1981, so I can't say for sure. But how did you enter Shenzhen in 1982 without a border pass? Also, how did you manage to make a round trip between Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in three days in 1982? As a 90s kid, I find it incredibly awkward.

Honestly, I'm surprised this book has so many chapters. After reading over a hundred, it's clear this author just wrote whatever came to mind; the plot lacks a main storyline, jumping from one thing to another. He funds his own ventures in the entertainment industry, his clothing business, and even his car repair business—that's probably the protagonist's cheat code; he just needs to provide the…

Imitation, copying, fabrication, conjecture, hybridity, nonsensical exaggeration, and shameless pretentiousness. And yet, it has already sold over ten million words. This is online literature... How pathetic.
