I had a lot of expectations before reading it, because it's hard not to think of my own book as such a private semi-autobiographical story from an old age. . . After reading it, I was not disappointed, and even a little moved: men are all unfortunate, and in a world where there are only women and children, people and human relationships are very important. Some people say that it is bland, but I just think its shortcoming is that it deliberately puts too many coincidences and wonders into it, destroying the sense of everyday life.
