Title: TINY TIMES
In the era of rapid economic development, Shanghai has transformed into a beautiful and fashionable city. Against this backdrop, "TINY TIMES" tells the story of Lin Xiao, NanXiang, Gu Li, and Tang Wanru - four girls with deep feelings, different values, and outlooks on life who have experienced the friendship, love, and affection that come with great change. It is a true portrayal of young people in fashion.
The four girls share a dormitory together, waking up and going to bed early and looking for internships to keep themselves busy. Life is full of pressure to survive, but even in the seemingly calm routine, surprises can arise that leave them unsure about how to face them. They must make decisions that will affect their lives forever.
Guo Jingming's writing style in this book is new and narrative, adding a large number of fashionable elements. The dialogue and content are funny, sometimes causing uproarious laughter and other times signaling sadness. The character of Lin Xiao, known as "Mini Yang," is particularly interesting. She is a Chinese professional and works as an editor for M.E magazine. As she navigates her career and personal life in this fast-paced city, she faces challenges that test her strength and resilience.
Through the experiences of these four girls, "TINY TIMES" offers a glimpse into the lives of modern young people in China. Their struggles and triumphs serve as a reminder that even in the midst of great change, it is possible to find happiness and fulfillment.
ong Ming is a special assistant in the chief's office. Like many of us, he is friendly, gentle, timid, overcautious, indecisive, and sometimes a bit childish. He admires his friend Gu Li and her colleague Kitty. His boyfriend is Jane Xi, whom he met after she broke up with someone else and fell in love with Chong Guang, a famous writer.
Nobody can be forever young, but there will always be people who are young at heart. Amber Kuo Gu Li is one such person. She is studying accounting systems, and another major is international finance. In four years, she has completed a double degree with an A+ grade record. Her goal is to become a certified public accountant (CPA).
Yaren is developing a similar lifestyle to that of the United States of America, where genteel living and rest time are highly valued. In the world of women, being calm and cruel at the same time is seen as good. Lin Xiao once evaluated her by saying, "You are like a snake, alive and ready to strike!" This shows that she needs to have complete control over her life and not let anything beyond her grasp affect her.
Guo-nanxiang is a professional artist who is full of wit and has a delicate sense of emotions. She believes that language is more important than substance, and she is not an outsider looking in. Guo-nanxiang has been living her life the way she wants to for years now, which can sometimes drive her crazy when things don't go according to plan. This is especially true when it comes to matters of control, as she feels like everything around her is out of her reach at times.
One person who has been by Guo-nanxiang's side through thick and thin is her boyfriend since junior high school. They have been together for many years and have experienced their fair share of ups and downs, but they always manage to work through their problems. However, their relationship has recently hit a roadblock when Guo-nanxiang's boyfriend started seeing someone else.
The reason for this sudden turn of events is unclear, but it seems to have something to do with a recent birthday party held by Gu Li. At the party, there was a lot of drinking and fun, and things got out of hand when Xi Cheng poured red wine on Gu Li's head. Yilin Xie-Wanru Tang, a national-level badminton player, was also present at the party and witnessed the incident.
Despite the chaos and confusion that followed, Guo-nanxiang managed to stay focused on her goals and continue pursuing her dream of becoming an artist. While she may feel frustrated and upset about the situation with her boyfriend, she knows that she cannot let it hold her back from what she wants to achieve in life.
