Starting in 1986

Prices! In 1986, 5 yuan could buy you a full meal at a restaurant with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, but now you spend more than 10 yuan on a hot pot?

At 7 o'clock, it's already a stagnant pool.

What's the logic? If one person makes hundreds of these and sells them all the next day, with such high profits, are people born in 1986 all idiots?

The bedding requirements are high; the food in the cafeterias of key universities exceeds the daily standard of small and medium-sized cities in northern China and rural areas nationwide. The cost is covered by monthly school allowances, enough for even impoverished students to eat at a moderate level.

It was written by a popular female author.

I don't know how I found this book, but I enjoyed reading it. However, one thing that felt a bit out of place was that if the book's date was listed as being about ten years later, most of the descriptions would make sense, such as the layoffs and pagers. After all, it's a novel, so reading it step-by-step is fine, but the emphasis on the year makes it feel inconsistent, which makes it a bit difficult to evaluate.

It's unreasonable for a hair clip to cost 8 yuan. In an era when the average wage was only a few dozen yuan, hair clips were overpriced. They should have cost a few cents each, maybe one or two yuan at most. Prices didn't rise rapidly until the 1990s.

Have they tasted success in March? Are all the female authors starting to write for male-oriented authors?

A million Shennong's help! 😜

The writing is clean, natural, and fluent, without being contrived or abrupt. A good book, worth reading. 👍
