Back to 1982

This is so far removed from that era; the author clearly didn't experience it firsthand. And why couldn't they have just started as an ordinary rural family? Why insist on gradually transforming themselves into a powerful, influential clan? While the initial act of selling rat meat, then switching to selling watches and trading for scraps of cloth wasn't inherently wrong, how could they possibly…

He's incredibly toxic; he ran off to Hong Kong to start a company. Then, just because of a phone call from home, he went back to his village to become the village chief. His saintly complex makes me want to vomit.

I watched for ten minutes and it was too ridiculous, so I'm leaving. Eels and loaches were practically worthless back then; without enough oil and seasonings, they were inedible. Pig's feet were actually more expensive than pork! Haha.

It's a pity. You can't deny that most readers are ordinary folks who don't care about national affairs or family feuds; they prefer everyday life, farming, and fishkeeping. But the author likes to write about things readers don't care about, indulging in self-indulgence to an excessive degree.

He's incredibly stingy with his own sister, but treats his sisters-in-law like royalty. What's going on?

It feels like so many things are illogical, and he often says things that are out of place. It was only the 1980s, and I was just a country boy myself. How could I have made so many predictions and introductions? And he even asked others to write time-travel and reincarnation novels, as if he was afraid that people wouldn't guess that he was also reincarnated.

To clarify, people in Guangdong don't eat rats, but rather field mice. The method is roughly this: remove the field mouse's internal organs and fur, leaving the skin and tail intact. Roast the skin over a fire of rice straw until slightly yellow. Then, it can be boiled or stir-fried, as desired. Nowadays, with widespread pesticide use and very few people farming in the countryside, field mice are practically extinct. Actually, people in Guangdong eat snakes quite often.

Don't write about rural life if you've never lived in it; it's incredibly embarrassing to read.

Uninteresting, mediocre, and lacking in highlights. Conclusion: Change the book.

It's definitely plagiarized; not a single thing was changed. I read this book several years ago.
