My thoughts after reading Liu Zhenyun's "Chicken Feathers in a Place"

Speaking of Liu Zhenyun's name, you may not be very familiar with it, but if you have watched the movie "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", you should get to know him well. ? After graduating from Peking University in the 1970s and 1980s, he worked as a writer. I recently read one of his novelettes, "Chicken Feathers in a Place", and I was a little touched by it, so I will take note of it.

? It tells the trivial matters in the family and life of a pair of clerks working in state agencies in Beijing in the 1980s and 1990s. The male protagonist Xiao Lin comes from the countryside and stayed in Beijing to work in a government agency after graduating from university. The hostess, Xiao Li, is also a college graduate, but her family comes from the city. After a blind date, the two met and started a family. They have a daughter who is two or three years old. They are busy with work and hired a nanny to take care of the child.
