My Youthful Days in Shenzhen

This realistic story made me feel like I was right there in the story. In 2003, I worked at a Taiwanese-owned factory in Dalingshan, Dongguan, and then at a Japanese-owned factory in Qingxi... Thinking back on that time now, I still yearn for it. I won't abandon it; I'll definitely follow it to the end.

For most of us, life is already too miserable enough. I read novels to temporarily forget the pain of life, but reading this story gave me a feeling of looking back on unbearable past events. A painful memory of death constantly attacked me; there were tears, unforgettable moments, unbearable memories, pain and joy... This article is very well written, with bittersweet aftertastes, but for me, it's better not to read it!

It's really well written; it's very lifelike and vivid!

The protagonist seems like an idiot. He quits before finding a suitable job? Is he crazy? His miserable job-hunting journey afterwards is entirely his own fault. Who told you to quit before finding another job? You only have yourself to blame.

I just couldn't stand it anymore. The writing style is alright, but the first-person perspective is incredibly uncomfortable to read. It feels so awkward.

Having read novels online for so long, this is the most realistic one I've ever encountered; kudos to the author! While I felt the male and female leads should end up together, what saddened me most was the character of Zhu Xiaoman, who didn't quite fit into her role. Sometimes, all you can say is that fate is cruel!

Reality is too bitter; I don't want to suffer the same way in online novels.

That's well written. I also graduated with a regular bachelor's degree in 1998 and went to work in a Japanese-owned electronics factory in Zhongshan City, doing quality management. Accommodation was provided, but meals weren't. The basic monthly salary was 1200 yuan. Meals in the factory canteen cost 3 yuan each, and overtime pay was 7.5 Yuan per hour. A year later, I went to a factory in Chegongmiao, Shenzhen, where my monthly salary was 2000 yuan.

Why aren't more people reading such a good book? Is it because there aren't enough authors?

Why write in the first person? It feels awkward.
