1978: Starting College with a Baby in My Arms

What era is the author writing about? It's a time of constant rush and exhaustion, where everything you do is targeted, there are always endless emergencies, and you can't even be there for your wife and kids. You don't even know what you're earning money for. I still prefer something more heartwarming, something with a family element.

In 1978, I was studying at Peking University, earning a little over 100 yuan a month on my own, with financial support from both sets of parents. My wife even suffered from anemia. According to your logic, everyone else would starve to death.

Wanting everything and trying to grasp everything often results in grasping nothing. Family life and studies may seem well-organized, but in reality, it's a mess. My wife's health isn't good, and I'm constantly on edge. Even a couple hundred yuan a month doesn't seem enough. I need to slow down a bit.

I just read it today and finished it in one go. As a bookworm of over twenty years, I've read quite a lot, and whether comparing it side-by-side or with other books I've read, this one still ranks in the top ten. Everyone has their own favorite books, so there's no need to force anyone. I personally think it's well-written; I haven't found any logical inconsistencies yet. Author, please keep writing well and maintain the quality! Keep it up! 👍👍👍

Is this book about Lenovo? The protagonist looks exhausted; Lenovo had it so much easier back in the day.

The author didn't do thorough research; there are quite a few obvious errors and it seems a bit based on assumptions. However, overall it's acceptable.

Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

The content matches the author's nickname perfectly; I won't go into the various errors and bugs, there are too many to list. But do people from Jiangxi and Beijing eat poached chicken and longevity hot pot when they celebrate the Chinese New Year in Beijing? Are there any friends from Jiangxi or Beijing? Is this how you celebrate the Chinese New Year?

I wanted to write about arduous understanding, but this is a novel; it's all tension and no relaxation, which won't attract many readers.

It's all crisis, we're at a complete disadvantage. If there are such immense difficulties and no corresponding solutions, how can the country develop?
