1. The death of the original family
I don't know if you have ever felt that when you were young, the gap between people and people was not large, and the partners who grew up together learned and played like races. Although I am sometimes left behind, I always feel that as long as I work hard, I can catch up. When I was a little older, experienced the baptism of the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, and walked out of the campus, I finally found that the gap between people and people was originally doomed from the moment of birth.
We cannot choose our family of origin, this is a reality that we must accept. Children who are growing up are even more powerless to change their growing environment. When these children grow up, how will they live to turn the course of life? This is a question that a lot of people are thinking about.
At the beginning of 2022, I read this manchester City Day and Night, and it was it that warmed my heart and gave me the best answer.

David S. M. Barnett, a famous British novelist, is good at telling warm stories to heal people's wounded hearts. Lonely Dreamer is his masterpiece, having been selected for a BBC reading programme. Manchester City Day and Night is his new 2021 title. This year, the new crown epidemic still exists, and people's hearts long for stability and warmth. David S. M.

He depicts small people, young men and women in big cities who are often overlooked. "Manchester City Day and Night" is the life of David Scott. M. Barnett's work of sincerity.
In a museum in Manchester, there are two ordinary staff members. One of them worked the night shift and the other on the day shift, and the time they saw each day was only a few minutes after the shift. The two lives, which originally had little intersection, were connected by the theft of the museum's collection.
In the process of solving the case, the two people increased their understanding of each other. Everything in the past slowly appeared, the emotions surged, and they finally walked together with the cracking of the case.
Unlike many romance novels, David M. Barnett's work doesn't have too many unexpected romantic plots. Even his work itself is not romantic for romance's sake. The reality is harsh, David The protagonists of M. Barnett's pen, they are often born from humble backgrounds, and the embarrassment of life makes them often feel helpless.
Daisy is a woman, but she has to work the night shift. Because her mother was sick and had cancer, she had to work shifts with her sister to take care of her mother. Years of bitter life have made her cocoon to the outside world. Daisy, who had been tired all night, returned home, just thinking of a good rest. Too late to think about love, life is already in ruins. To live is the most urgent need at present.
Nat, a man who lives alone, is in charge of daytime security at the Manchester Museum. Compared to Daisy's serious stereotypes, he is more concerned about the opportunity to communicate with others when working in the museum. In the eyes of others, Nat was kind. But internally, Nat was often deeply disturbed. Nat's father was a boxer and an alcoholic and tyrannical man. It is because of his father's domestic violence that Nat has made up his mind since he was a child that he must not become a person like his father. But in the end, his own marriage was broken. He also reflected countless times, but finally could not reconcile with himself. Fortunately, the work of the museum can make him stop blaming himself, make him feel that he still has a little bit of value, which can be seen by his son.
The two men walked together because of strange events in the museum, and they began to investigate why something had disappeared one after another and returned. In the process of investigation, they not only discovered the truth of the strange things in the museum, but also because in the process of investigation, they went deep into each other's lives, and then they also had some new thinking about their own predicament.
They healed each other and loved each other. It's a warm story, and Manchester City Day and Night made me see the most ordinary beauty of ordinary people.
3. Love yourself and be the one you like
In Manchester City Day and Night, let's take a look at the rationality of the hero and heroine's love.
From the perspective of daily hobbies, the lives of two people are very simple. They both loved to read, especially at the museum when they had read a book together, and at that time, they didn't know each other.
Furthermore, they all had injured childhoods. Daisy had been charged for many years, and finally in a mother's confession, she learned of her innocence. But so many years have passed, and the self-denial that once tormented Daisy has finally ushered in reconciliation. This is a personal growth. Growing up, Nat, as a supporter, gave the necessary care. This is an important reason why two people can come together.
Nat, because of his father's tyranny, for many years, he was reluctant to accept his father's good side. He can neither shake off his father's shadow nor develop a deep self-identification. In his personal growth, his ex-wife gave him very important help. Knowing Daisy is also a good fate for him. He finally stopped denying his father and accepted him, while also understanding his father's helplessness. He got rid of his father's shadow and could finally be himself again.
Daisy and Nat, their experiences, have taught us what it means to cherish ourselves. Everyone is unique, and we want to live as we like, not as others want to be. At the same time, loving ourselves well also means that we, no matter what, have the right to be happy.
It's a new year, give yourself a warm story. Remember that happiness can be fought for, and every day of the day, we should cherish.
