After completing her medical residency, Ding Huining returns to work at the Qingxia Town Health Center. Everyone says she is lucky: her education cost her nothing, and she got a permanent position as soon as she graduated.
But she doesn't love the job, and she can't adjust to the small-town environment or its social dynamics. She counts down the days, ready to leave as soon as her required service period ends.
Then she runs into Zhou Ran, the top student from her school days. After graduating from Maritime University, he returned to his hometown to start a business. He builds smart greenhouses, uses modern technology to boost agriculture, develops local peach farming, and promotes traditional brocade...
He is like a savior, lighting the way through her uncertain life.
Gradually, she fits into the local community and finds joy and meaning in her work.
As the end of her service period approaches, she can't decide whether to stay or go.
This novel is very well written. Although some parts contain unpleasant plots, they are also based on reality and are realistic. The full text of the novel is positive, and sometimes makes people feel good after reading it. The language is vivid, lively and fluent. There are not many novels like this nowadays that can convey positive energy to people. No messy stuff.
Personally, I think it's well written and feels very real when I read it.
I think I've seen it. In what year was this work published?
I like this realistic article very much. I also wrote down what to eat and what to do. It is plain and warm. However, in the end I didn't understand the custom. The heroine is a calm and rational girl. She deserves it.
I like the author's writing style. Ordinary days, ordinary people living in the present story. Remove the artificial filter, everyone does it. Those labels and evaluations are either given by others or given by yourself. Living authentically is life. I hope the author is writing better stories.
This book reminds me of a short video I saw of a young man who returned to his hometown, Jiankang. He went back to the village to plant fruit trees, took the elderly on trips, etc. His figure flashed across his face... It's great, whether it's Jiankang or Zhou Ran, this is the vitality and vitality of young people. This vigorous ambition is the hope for the construction and development of China's new countryside.
It's rare to see a novel with real life themes and it's interesting!
I have read the two books selected for the 7 Cats Annual Awards, and this one is one that I can't stop and want to read in one sitting. When she learned that this book was a work of two people and that the two books had won the award at the same time, she read the photos she took and that they were all works of two people in one sitting early in the morning. Take a look at other award-winning works. This book did not disappoint me, it deserves a prize! The characters are three-dimensional and vivid, the writing is smooth, and the story structure is logically reasonable. It's quite possible to write about rural themes in this state. Reading this book, I was basking in the sun in the winter in Guangdong and drinking Yingde black tea. It was so comfortable. It is recommended that busy, anxious and confused people read this book.
