Although it is an online novel, the author's writing style is very vivid, and the reading is particularly immersive. It easily allows us to see the old Beijing in the 1970s and the urban life in Changping village and city.

I didn’t read it too seriously at first, but I was moved after reading it (I will never admit that it has anything to do with the descriptions of delicious old Beijing pastries in the book, but I do want to go to Huguo Temple tomorrow and buy some

traditional snacks).

Since many of my book friends don’t read online novels, I’ll just talk about the plot and just share my views on the rebirth novel.

In the past, I was very repelled by rebirth novels. I felt that they were all for self-pleasure, as if returning to the past could really lead to greater achievements. That was indeed the routine of many novels, just to make people feel happy.

But at the beginning of this book, I did hope that Dong Xiangxiang could go back to the 1970s and meet Old Man Xie when he was at his best.

Because in this life, Mrs. Dong and Mr. Xie met too late, and their desolate hearts had not warmed up after 10 years of meeting. When Mr. Xie finally figured out how to express his feelings, Mrs. Dong fell ill and died.

After rebirth, Xiangxiang, with a free and easy attitude, bravely attacked when she met Old Man Xie from 30 years ago.

When she handed him my delicious-smelling donkey roll, my heart moved.

Is there really rebirth in the world?

No.

We just have a lot of choices that we want to make again, a lot of regrets that we can’t let go of, and a lot of misses that make us cry in the dark night.

But what is rebirth?

The body cannot go back to the past, but if the character of mind changes and the thoughts change, is it equivalent to having a new life in an instant?

Just imagine, if Xiangxiang hadn't left the past and opened up after 10 years of wandering in old age, she would have made the same mistakes again even if she went back to the past.

Xiao Xie was not reborn, but he met Xiangxiang, who changed his nature, and he lived a life he had never imagined as if he was reborn.

There is a supporting character named Cow Mother in the book. From the moment she first appeared to the subsequent twist, I felt really uncomfortable watching her.

I couldn't help but think that Mother Niu missed her husband who loved her but died young so much that she lost the will to live when she fell ill, but she was still called back by the fragrant Jingba Piece.

why?

Probably because eating these pastries alive and remembering my husband is also a kind of happiness. If I really leave, there will be no more.

This is also an option.

We don’t have the ability to be reborn, nor do we have the protagonist’s good skills, but we can actually have the same good luck as the protagonist, and re-examine our lives and the meaning of our lives. If we are satisfied, we can go on happily. If we are not satisfied,

There is no need to ask outsiders, just change your own thoughts.

When you think about it, your environment changes with your mind.
