This book tells a good story about protecting Han Chinese descendants and preventing riots, but the process is somewhat ingenious. The contact with Hong Kong businessmen is too careless. Apart from a few individuals, the rest are hardly good people; just look at Li Ka-shing. These people have lived so well under the Hong Kong government and the Japanese rule for so many years.
If you don't want to write, then don't. Making things so vague and confusing is annoying; it makes reading a novel a guessing game! Goodbye!
Without any backstory, it's completely confusing. You want to write it but are afraid of censorship! Then don't write it at all. Just write about ordinary people's lives directly. This veiled approach leaves readers bewildered. It's written like a sequel; I have no idea what the prequel is about.
In this era of courtyard houses, the story of a widow is so outrageous that I have absolutely no desire to continue watching.
The idea of someone desperately clinging to a widow is only relevant in television dramas. Casting Liu Lan as Widow Qin is a completely different story.
With 20 yuan a month, 15 jin of wheat flour, 5 jin of pork, and plenty of coarse grains, that's more than enough to support Qin Huairu, let alone Qin Jingru and Yu Li (the reason I didn't mention Sha'ezi is because her family really doesn't lack these things).
Will you be shot if you don't sleep with a widow in a courtyard house?
There are too many obscure details; it's a story about a privileged young man disguised as a traditional courtyard house, and the protagonist, lacking any real background, acts too flamboyantly and unrealistically for that era.
I read three chapters but couldn't understand them. I quit immediately.
Well, the writing style is there, but I don't know where the author is from. The writing style is really strange. It's like going back ten years to a rural village where everyone has connections, and then you write it like someone from ten years ago who rose from the underworld to become the number one gangster in China.
