The beginning was good, but I couldn't continue watching.
Why antiques again? This one's boring.
In the genre of historical fiction, this book is considered a good read. The family is harmonious, unlike some other books where the family is discordant, relationships with villagers are poor, and the protagonist, after being reborn, becomes arrogant and disrespectful to everyone.
The idea of leading the surrounding area to grow shiitake mushrooms was initially impressive and highly feasible (a minor advantage for a young protagonist, as even if he didn't know how to grow them, he could consult professors from agricultural research institutes and universities, and with luck, academicians would even come to provide guidance).
The transfer was rather abrupt; it was all for the sake of going to Beijing to get foreign exchange to Hong Kong…
Things changed after I went north.
Why write about a small pub and going to Hong Kong's gold mines? Wasn't that supposed to be a period drama?
To be honest, the book was quite good before it went to Beijing, but it basically fell apart after that. It got a bit too eager for quick success. Why didn't the author take a more gradual approach? He should have gotten things back on track in his hometown first, and by then he'd probably be in university before writing about his time in Beijing. You really couldn't rush things back then.
I found this book after reading the author's new one. The beginning was readable, but what was the rest of it? Reborn and forced to drink dishwater while dating a divorced woman with a child... If this were a realistic story, I wouldn't criticize it, since faithfulness is rare in modern society. But this is a wish-fulfillment novel! You expect a wish-fulfillment novel that doesn't make people feel good to succeed?
To be honest, the protagonist is glib and sleazy, not like someone who would do business. It's not very interesting.
Buying courtyard houses and collecting antiques is truly addictive!
