Book Review 5: Sudden plot twist
At the end of the first volume, the plot suddenly changes. The Liu Huaixin case is separated from the Zhang Xiyu case, and has a subtle intersection with the Li Jincheng case. If every clue is a railroad track, then the picture in my mind at this time is probably like this: The follow-up may also involve new cases, and then fill in other tracks🤣 This sudden change, on the one hand, shows the author's superb layout of the article, which can be called "unexpected and reasonable"; on the other hand, it also reminds us not to let the "magician of language" take away all our attention and take it for granted to move towards the expected answer. In fact, from beginning to end, the evidence collected could only point to Gao's illegitimate relationship with the girls, but did not directly prove that he was related to Teacher Liu's death. Some specious thoughts and inferences make us ignore other possibilities, thus achieving a Waterloo-like sudden change. Looking back at this moment, Bo Jinyan's voice rang in my ears: It went so smoothly, there must be some omissions. Of course, the sudden change in the plot further shapes the characters and strengthens their relationships. After Chen Pu was pushed back the next day, he analyzed and summarized everyone's previous investigation results, looked for new clues, and arranged new work, demonstrating his professionalism and calm personality. Of course, this is inseparable from Qingyao girl's chicken soup 😄 At the same time, the male and female protagonists face setbacks and challenges together, and gradually form a tacit understanding and unique relationship mode: he is his brother's gay friend, and it is funny to tease him; her brother's sister is a bit naughty, hard-spoken and soft-hearted. The extreme pulling stage is always full of fun. Finally, one year after Liu Huaixin disappeared, Li Jincheng disappeared until now, which makes people think of those MLM organizations consciously or unconsciously. Or, an even scarier organization. Wait for the following.
[Green Cicada Book Review] --Meeting Green Cicada in Midsummer
Dear Lao Mo, I don't know if you still remember me. I probably don't. I'm really glad that I came across Achan written by you in March last year. I also wrote a book review when I was a sophomore in high school. Now in the midsummer of my senior year in high school, I got a new article by an author I have always liked. In fact, I am really lucky that the titles you gave me are so appropriate for the occasion. I will probably remember this book for a long time because I welcomed the never-ending cicada song given to me by the author I love in the midsummer moment when I was about to bid farewell to my three years of youth. I have always wanted to say that the age of a reader is never the difference between me and you. I read Your City of Mercy in 2018 and am now in my third year of high school. But although I sound like a young reader, I am feeling your books with my heart. I really hope that while your books accompany me to grow, I can also witness every character you write. I watch "City of Mercy" every spring and watch "Beauty for Stuffing" once in the summer. I revisit "Forgetting in the Dusk Mountain" during the National Day. I love You Mingxu from "When I'm Guilty" the most, Xu Sibai from "Beauty for Stuffing" is the most reluctant to leave, and I miss "City of Mercy" the most. "The high school years of Mu Shan and Chen Beiyao in "I may be a perceptual little reader, but I am a liberal arts student. I love every character in your works. They (she) grow up with me every time I review them. I bought your "Zhenye" during the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school. , It's time to graduate from high school again in a blink of an eye. I really hope that you, Lao Mo, can say to me, "Go for the college entrance examination. In fact, I was really excited when I wrote this book review. I burst into tears. What moved me was my seven years of youth. It was your new book that reflected my youth of separation in the midsummer. It was also the biggest comfort and surprise to me when I was stressed and confused before the exam. There are no words to describe it. Finally, I want to say thank you, Lao Mo." , I would like to use the title of your book to wish me success in the college entrance examination. ——"In my youth, there was a midsummer where cicadas kept chirping, and there was also the author I loved, Ding Mo, who grew up with me." ——From a reader who has liked you for a long time (I still want to tell you my name, my name is Xu Ning 😊 Even if there are many readers who have difficulty remembering my name, and these photos were taken last year, it is difficult to go home and take another real picture this year because I am preparing for the exam and staying in school. Finally, I wish you good luck in the college entrance examination, my favorite Lao Mo (˙˘˙ )
Records of persons involved in the case
Like new employee Li Qingyao, readers also have their own notebooks, haha! The difference is that the reader has a richer perspective and knows a little more than the characters. The term is "external perspective".
Open the screen and see the green cicada

[Qingchan Book Review] Reflecting on reality through literature
Compared with the first meeting of the male and female protagonists, the white neck and red earlobes, what attracted me more was the old father standing in the rain holding the portrait in the beginning. He may only be a instrumental role to introduce the protagonist's profession, but he does reflect the reality of some families. Because of my career, I often come into contact with various students and families, including those whose families are not so happy and whose parents' educational concepts are not so advanced, even though I am located in a magical city. Children in such a native family environment naturally endure more negative emotions, become more sensitive and suspicious, and accordingly have more extreme behaviors. I think that as the story unfolds, the group of children in the corner where the sun does not shine, represented by the girl, will be observed by the author's gentle writing style! And those selfish and dark faces will also be exposed to the public. And this may be the value of a realistic work. Just like many previous stories that mapped and exposed various social events, I think the story of this case will still make us pay attention to social reality with a cold eye while we are in love and making sweets. As for the mysterious disappearance of my brother, it is the lead, will it also be the final conclusion? Let's see how Lao Mo plans the layout! Let's wait and see! Wait for the green cicada to fall, wait for the truth to come out, wait for the warmth and coldness of reality to be illuminated by literature!
Book Review 8: Do poor people have to become hateful?
There are many people in this world who have been tricked by fate, but whether it leads to a greater tragedy in the end or an ending where all hardships are rewarded may depend more on the influence of individual character and family of origin. When Xiang Siling encountered various misfortunes in adolescence, his throat was strangled and he was unable to make a cry for help, and he walked helplessly into the abyss of "evil". She was surrounded by all the despicability of human nature; the only way she could think of was to wait for revenge after lying dormant. We always say: "Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered." We can also see Xiang's despair and see that her biological mother and two stepfathers deserved to die, but we still feel that in the contemporary context, using illegal means to frame, retaliate, and kill people, and even involve more innocent people, is unacceptable and unacceptable. When I read the story seven years ago, I wished it was an ancient proverb. When the childish children encountered inhuman changes, a hero would fall from the sky and take revenge. But this is a work that is so realistic that it makes people sigh. You know, there are no heroes, no heroes, no world, only the courage to live towards death. Yes, live towards death. It's Li Qingyao and Luo Huaizheng. The turn of fate came as suddenly as an avalanche. But there are still people who have endured the long night with tenacity, making themselves strong, strong enough to punish evil and promote good, to call for justice that is always late, and to take forward and upward steps. Rather than sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire, rotten and smelly at the same time. Of course, in addition to individual perseverance and bravery, the influence of the original family cannot be underestimated. Whether it is Xiang Siling or the girl at the beginning, Zhang Xiyu, they have no family members who can talk to, provide understanding and support, no healthy and harmonious parent-child relationship, no positive guidance or even the hope of seeing another possibility! Such a girl's panic, helplessness, and despair when facing the huge darkness may be far beyond ordinary people. Because of this, they can only fall like cicadas. At this point, it seems that we should not entirely blame the individual. In fact, blaming cannot solve the problem. It seems that we should think more and call out so that poor people do not have to fall into hateful methods. Complete protection mechanisms, effective rescue methods, and even self-protection and science popularization at the social consciousness level... I think this may be the humanistic value behind such a realistic portrayal in the work! I hope girls like Xiang Siling will only exist in stories forever.
She especially hates Xiang Siling. Although she is very unfortunate, there is no reason to destroy a high-spirited young man with a bright future, not to mention that this person is her beloved. Even if she doesn't remember who killed Xiang Wei, she only had to admit that Xiang Wei raped her. She was not a virgin. Luo Huaizheng acted bravely, or she could be braver and call the police the first time she was violated. Of course, there aren't that many what-ifs, otherwise the plot wouldn't be able to move forward.
[Qingchan Book Review 2] The wind blows (the post that was swallowed)
"A sudden wind blows up a pool of spring water." Lao Mo's description is really delicate. I really like the secret interaction between Chen Pu and Li Qingyao. They are the kind of people who unconsciously notice each other, maybe with a little exploration, but they always pay special attention to each other and constantly enrich each other's image in their hearts. I watched the TV series "My Altay" some time ago, and there was a line in it that said, "Friendship or love between people occurs because they are seen." Philippa Perry also said that "the essence of love is to be seen." What I feel after reading today is that Li Qingyao and Chen Pu are currently in the process of seeing and being seen by each other! In Qingchan, Chen Pu and Li Qingyao always pay attention to each other unconsciously. Maybe this kind of attention has nothing to do with Fengyue now, and even involves a little trial and scrutiny, curiosity and evaluation of each other's abilities, and re-understanding of old acquaintances. But feelings are just about getting along. In more and more daily contacts, maybe one day the goodwill accumulates to a certain value. At this time, the wind blows, and the clear spring called love in the heart will ripple. When Lao Mo writes about the relationship between the male and female protagonists, he does not use exaggerated words to define the relationship between them, or use gorgeous words to praise the unwavering love. Instead, he turns to describe the subtle movements and psychological changes between them, starting from the details, and showing the readers their daily interactions, which makes it more touching. (Here I strongly name Zheng Ye and Mo Hui! I really love these two books! In addition to the content of music dreams and business wars, I never tire of the pull and get-together between the male and female protagonists in it!) Let's talk about the first case. Zhang Liangwei appeared in front of us as a guilty father at the beginning, but as the plot progressed, more and more doubts appeared in front of us. His performance in the face of the corpse was too calm, which made people feel suspicious and confusing. In fact, when this case came out about the young male teacher, my first reaction was to think of the book Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise, and I thought that maybe the male teacher had done something bad to the female student, and the girl's father killed him in revenge. But as the clues become more and more in-depth, one wave after another gives people a feeling of contradiction and unresolved. Is there a third person present? Is that young man the teacher? Is the person who sent the message to Zhang Liangwei a male teacher? Was the suicide note really written by the male teacher? Why do people who are halfway through cooking suddenly go to the bathroom to commit suicide? The experience of reading so many of Lao Mo's books tells me that things are often not that simple, but Lao Mo's imagination is so big that I really don't know how the story will develop, so I silently raised my expectations! In the first book review, I said that I was very curious about the brotherhood between Chen Pu and Li Jincheng. In the updated content, they were inseparable from their student days until they grew into comrades fighting side by side. Li Jincheng's sudden disappearance was a huge blow to Chen Pu. He studied the files about him countless times, just to find the truth for his brother. Li Qingyao, on the other hand, also had deep feelings for his brother. He dropped out of school and took the college entrance examination again, went to the police academy, went to the front line of serious crimes, and came to his brother's former police force. It is self-evident why. Li Jincheng originally always prevented his sister from having more contact with Chen Pu. It stands to reason that the only bond between him and Chen Pu was broken after his disappearance. The two will never meet again, but people who meet will meet again, and people who meet again will meet again, because the fates of Li Jincheng and Chen Pu are completely involved, full of a sense of fate! In summer, there are not only the cicadas chirping outside the window, but also the green cicadas in the book. When the green cicadas fall, a group of us will meet again because of Lao Mo! I am extremely looking forward to what surprises and shocks Lao Mo will bring us this time. I wish you smooth writing of the new article!
Book Review 4: New Perspectives
I feel like Lao Mo tried a new way of writing this book. Most of the previous suspense works followed the male and female protagonists' perspectives, discovering clues bit by bit, reasoning and restoring bit by bit, and finally realized that the murderer is you! With the help of the "hiding" in the early stage, readers can have a pleasant experience of decryption. But this time, the author doesn't seem to mind at all if everyone guesses the murderer in advance, and generously provides readers with various details, even more than the male and female protagonists know, allowing readers to quickly identify the murderer while enjoying the male and female protagonists showing their magical powers to get closer to the answer in our hearts. This is quite similar to the writing method of "The Devotion of Suspect X", which brings a new reading experience. You can look at the helplessness and helplessness of little people more comprehensively from the perspective of the victim; you can also look at those blind, stupid, and ugly behaviors more equally, jump out of the misunderstanding of the "perfect victim", and give the deceased real understanding and sympathy. In the process of facing the perpetrators directly, you can be more alert and prepared for the "evil" in reality. On the other hand, we can also turn more attention from the suspenseful plot to the details of the characters, whether it is the central figure in the case or the protagonist as the police. As a result, the image of the "gentle and considerate little sister" and the "experienced and observant captain", as well as the tit-for-tat and non-compromising verbal battle between the two, quickly occupied our hearts. When the evidence chain is complete and the murderer is brought to justice, we will feel the compassion behind this writing. (Written in a hurry 20 minutes before boarding, I can't say enough, so let's leave it at that, haha~)
[Qingchan Book Review] The power of women that cannot be ignored
Lao Mo has worked hard, and "Waiting for the Green Cicada to Fall" has been serialized for more than five months. It is not easy for readers to read, especially the stories of Xiang Siling, Liu Tingmei and others, which are even dark and unpleasant. If Qing Yao has the characteristics of a top student, bravely stepping out of depression, and taking the initiative to choose and find his ideal lover, then the story of Xiang and Liu is undoubtedly embarrassing and regrettable. But they are not just passive bearers, they all have weak and strong female power in them. 1. Falling green cicada. At first I didn't understand Lao Mo's literary title, but the word "fall" seemed to indicate the direction of the story. Xiang Siling was born in an unfortunate family. She wanted to be a normal person, get the love of her parents, go to college, have a job, and live a normal life. However, life was too cruel to her, tearing her dreams to pieces and trampling on them time and time again. Mother, such a warm word, but Xiang's mother Li Meiling actually used her daughter as a token of exchange and personally sent her daughter to the adulterer's bed. She made her daughter a taboo for others for a long time, and even allowed her husband to sexually assault her daughter. Xiang has thought about and fought against, but he has never been able to get rid of the evil hands of Li Meiling and Luo Hongmin. After normal resistance failed, she had no choice but to choose self-improvement and revenge. How deep the injury was, how strong her determination for revenge was. To this end, she carefully planned and made long-term and careful preparations. She even fantasizes about turning around beautifully after revenge, helping the male god she once loved, and taking her daughter abroad. She doesn't want to be like her mother. This is the fundamental difference between them. 2. Angel with Broken Wings. If the direction is always clear and gradually changing, then Liu Tingmei once lost herself. She was unfairly treated by her parents who favored sons over daughters when she was born. A fall brought her academically excellent future to an abrupt end. Because she is as beautiful as an angel, her parents want to sell her to an old man, and her classmates drag her into the Silver Live Broadcast. From being extremely smart to becoming mentally ill, during those darkest years, her consciousness basically left her body. She became a plaything to be manipulated and humiliated. However, fate (Old Mo) did not let her live a miserable life like this. She met the kind-hearted Li Jincheng, and in the darkest days, she met the brightest him. She also regained her sanity, but what she had experienced could no longer make her love and live like an ordinary girl. For her, all that was left in life was revenge, and she did not hesitate to risk the rest of her life for this. 3. The wise elf. That's right, it's the Xueba Light Harrier. As powerful as she is, she has also experienced the disappearance of her brother whom she idolized since childhood, and her first love, a top student, who was wrongfully imprisoned. This was a burden that she could not bear as a child. But as smart as she is, she chose to go to the police academy, join the police force, join the grassroots, and choose Chunpu. Not only did he get out of the haze step by step, but he also relied on himself and took the right path to find out the truth and take the initiative to find true love. This old ink has more inks for a group of girls. They are either dark, colorful, or bright and brilliant, and they are all elves of this era. Their fragile bodies contain huge energy. No matter which path they choose, they have a force that cannot be ignored. I hope that the girls who are studying can gain more insights and wisdom from tears and laughter, and like the light harrier, take the right path, always be a shining little sun, and continue to show the power of women.
