You Tricked Me into Becoming a Sent-Down Youth. Now I'm Rich, So Why Are You Crying?

Author, I'm impressed. Qin is from the countryside, and you are Qin's childhood sweetheart. How could a country person like you become an educated youth?

Isn't Qin Huairu from the countryside? And wasn't her childhood sweetheart also from the countryside? What's the point of country folk going up mountains and down to villages? Author, can you at least do some research on the historical context before you write? This is like a group of Eighth Route Army guerrillas carrying Gatling guns and RPGs, wreaking havoc – it's so out of place!

Although the educated youth movement is said to have started in 1956, how old was Bang Geng when the story began? Your portrayal of the educated youth is inappropriate. Jia Dongxu died around 1962; did rural areas have telephones then? Don't make assumptions! Historical fiction isn't easy to write; if it feels out of place, it's unreadable!

The synopsis is that Qin Huairu tricked the protagonist into becoming an educated youth in order to marry Jia Dongxu. Qin Huairu's marriage to Jia Dongxu will last at most 52 years, and there will be no educated youth going to the countryside during that time. Besides, the protagonist himself is from the countryside, and the policy of sending people to the countryside is aimed at the city!

You're a rural youth who went to the countryside as an educated youth, haha.

I'm speechless, but I have to say something too. He's a rural person from 1952, and he was sent to the countryside as an educated youth? He might as well have become a factory manager in the city. I'm truly speechless.

The synopsis alone gave me no desire to continue reading. Childhood sweethearts, being sent to the countryside as educated youth—you're already in the countryside, how can you possibly be an educated youth then? In the early days of the educated youth movement, did you think just anyone could go? Back then, you had to apply, you had to have a skill, and basically, once you got there, you'd get a promotion or some money, like getting a "gilded" position now.

The author is probably a Gen Z with no common sense, making assumptions and daring to write this. It's laughable.

The editor of this book should be fired.

This writer couldn't have written such an excellent article without suffering an eighth-degree cerebral thrombosis! The plot summary of "The Courtyard House" is that the character was born in 1952. This means that Qin Huairu married into the Jia family in 1951 and only started going to the countryside in 1968. What kind of "going to the countryside" was that in the 1950s? She was already in the countryside, so why would she go there?!
