Tales of Ordinary People in Shanghai

It took me a week to read this book one after another. As a native Shanghainese, the author described every detail of the changes in Shanghai in recent decades. I had mixed feelings after reading it... The book, through the descriptions of several generations of the old Zhu family, transforms old Shanghai into new Shanghai. The epitome of change is vividly and exquisitely expressed. Although it cannot be said to cover all aspects, the changes in the circumstances and psychological changes of ordinary people over generations, personal growth, including the description of the influence of personality on life destiny, personally feel very good. This is one of the motivations that attracted me to read. From the contrast in the treatment of the two brothers when they were young to the transformation in which the elder brother lives a busy life and the younger brother becomes a "winner in life", I think this is the second highlight of the book. This sharp contrast is foreshadowed from the beginning to the end without collapse. Several important turning points in the lives of the two brothers are described in detail, which made me feel like watching a TV series while reading. This unhurried and comprehensive way is really a surprise. Especially in the current environment of online literature, it is either too bloated and the plot is too protracted, or it is too streamlined and the foreshadowing is not in place, leaving readers confused about the subsequent development of the event. However, this book has no such problem at all... Dissatisfaction There are also some regrets or dissatisfaction with some plots, such as Feng Yan's situation, Lan Ting's failure to let her daughter and her eldest brother recognize each other in the end, etc. Compared with the happy ending, perhaps regret is also one of the highlights of this book. After all, life is always full of regrets and entanglements...

It's rubbish among rubbish. I don't recommend you spend money to watch it. It's a waste of money. Thank you.

This is really reality , let's just say that now, that girl can resist such a rich man. Most of the girls I have seen around me like handsome men, and they will find rich men after a few years of dating. Young people are not successful. In this novel, eight years is already a miracle, unless you are not short of money, you are a princess and a lady at birth. In reality, the only people I've met for a long time are just over five years. And boys who don't have money really have low self-esteem. They don't dare to treat each other to dinner or spend money. Life is really difficult, alas.

I spent a whole day reading it. I didn't eat anything but drank a glass of water. I really couldn't bear to look away. This is not a cool novel that novices like very much, but I personally like it very much. The story in it is very attractive to me, a little incoherent, but that's it, I really like it😍😍

A few days ago, I randomly selected a book from the list recommended by the Shanghai Writers Association and read it because of its name. At the beginning, I definitely read it with the idea that the main character would be a blockbuster if he didn't show his voice. I hoped that it would be a realistic novel with an online IQ and a dark feeling. I didn't expect that it turned out to be a story about parents and children, and it was full of the atmosphere of life. But as a bookworm for more than ten years, although I am picky, I still think it is pretty good. The biggest joy is the characterization of the characters. Starting from Chapter V, it felt like walking into a family ethics drama, and I even stayed up late to read all the chapters. But until the last few chapters, the age of the Zhu family increasingly tells readers that the book is about to end, but it always gives me some regretful feelings. But no matter what, I personally think the writing is quite good, and I hope the author will write well! This style of story will probably be very popular with Xu Zheng, who is also from Shanghai and has reached the age of knowing his destiny.

It's rare to see a Shanghainese person writing novels in Qidian Chinese. When other people write novels about Shanghai, it's just a lie, and so many people think it's true.

It feels very real. Life is an aggregation of contradictions, but it is too contradictory. Every choice will become the cause of contradictions. The male protagonist is sensitive. The surprise when faced with luck turns into arrogance like charity, and leads to deep regret and jealousy. The male protagonist's personality is quite similar to his father's, but there is only a difference in knowledge and vision. Because of my grandfather, I made rash decisions. The male protagonist said that he should love himself first, and his girlfriend second. I think I especially love myself after my grandfather. Because of his emotions, he later faced a trace of jealousy from his friends and judged the gains and losses of his girlfriend's relationship. In fact, it is a systematic process from imagining it in the mind to speaking it and then writing it down, which means that you are really thinking rationally about the gains and losses. What an arrogant person

What a surprise, the charm of the group portraits is so attractive. I haven't seen such a wonderful real-life story in an online article for a long time. I hope to chat with He Xiaoda about the original intention of creation

It's pretty good-looking, but it's a bit of a pity at the back.

After reading the second chapter, I felt that the author wrote in a dry manner. He briefly mentioned why he wrote to a foreign pen pal, why he was interested in finding a pen pal, and how to find a pen pal. Then don't write about the aboriginal people, otherwise you have to explain the motivation for doing it.

I haven't watched half of it yet, but I have to say that it is already very exciting. It seems that even in different eras, the person is still the same person, those delicate feelings, those trivial affairs, that different ignorance, the same wonderful youth, the same bitter regret. No matter what, we should be proud of ourselves for being alive. The same dream comes from it. Don't laugh at the crazy people! 🤭

The author's understanding of precepts and deeds is very profound and realistic! A harmonious world will never be realized due to the differences in innate human beings! It seems that this world is a world, a hell and a heaven!

The stories of ordinary people are often wonderful.

Awesome duck, awesome duck, good looking

I like the author's writing style. The characters are described in three dimensions. It's a good book. Highly recommended.

It's time for a second purchase. After all, it's fully booked and you can use it anytime for free.

I have been a bookworm for more than ten years, and novels were the second world of my life when I was a child. But recently I rarely read. Maybe the world that once accommodated my spirit has become too small for me and cannot satisfy my desire in the real world. Now that I have spent a whole day reading this book, I can't help but feel moist in my eyes, as if I have lived my whole life with someone else. Life is too short to drink and sing.

The more I read this book, the more I like it. I hope the author will continue writing.

It's beautiful, especially the various contrasts, conflicts, and choices I've seen since childhood.

As a Sichuan-Shatian person, I made a special detour today to take a look at the Shatin Apartments.

Is it a female author? I feel that some of the delicate things are not like those written by male authors.

Is it true that the male protagonist has no emotional intelligence and feels like a programmed robot, never aware of what his partner is thinking? As a straight man, I feel that he and his first girlfriend are destined to separate. If I had gotten married earlier, I would have had children.

What I like most about this book is that it is true Life is actually full of regrets and beauty But no matter what, life is moving forward.

It would be wonderful if the ending was that Ms. Feng got half of Mr. Chen's property, divorced, and then married Zhu. This story of being forced to make a fortune would be even more attractive!

Good book, good book, good book, the plot is so exciting. Recommended, huge recommendation

It's really beautiful! Ordinary people, "extraordinary" experiences, the ups and downs of life, the light and darkness of human nature, the transition of the times in Shanghai, it's so exciting 👍👍👍

The paper version is not yet available, it is already the end of September.

Out-of-print 310102, the shadow of the alley in the 1990s, the memories of childhood.

It took me 3 days and 5 or 6 recharges to finish reading it. It's a very good book. There were tears and laughter. Come on, author!

I may be a few years younger than the male protagonist. I went to a technical secondary school in Jinshan Petrochemical. The junior college mentioned in the article is separated by a wall from us. At that time, the four schools were equivalent to one connected, a junior college, technical secondary school, and vocational school.
