Yishu's Novel Series:We Are Not Angels

What is an angel? Angels are messengers of God, and they symbolize holiness, goodness, and integrity. And what about us? We are just ordinary human beings, and perhaps some of us have the spirit symbolized by angels, but this does not mean that we are real angels.

And the name of the book I want to recommend to you today is also as I said - "We are not angels", this book is about Qiu Qing and Qiu Yu, who live in the Kowloon City Walled City, are half-sisters, because they are the illegitimate daughters of dancers, who are born to suffer from people's contempt and social rejection. Sister Qiu Yu re-played the old role of mother, sister Qiu Qing has understood the cold of the world and the hardships of survival since she was a child, but she is not willing to be at the mercy of fate, so with her own efforts, she strives to avoid repeating the mistakes of her mother and sister. Qiu Yu's boyfriend is a small leader of the gang, in a gangster fight, in order to protect the boyfriend, the sister was shot and killed, and this Qiu Qing's nominal brother-in-law finally used the justifiable crime to let the shooter serve 30 years in prison, after cultivating Qiu Qing into a talent, left this sad place. Qiu Qing finally got a diploma in management with her own efforts, and also found her own biological father and brother, but the diploma was only a diploma, and Qiu Qing never used it, but managed a nightclub and kept the business in order.

This is a story in a gray background, which is full of drugs, underground, dance floors, crimes, etc., but the gray does not represent desolation, does not represent a gray heart, perhaps it is precisely because of such an environmental background, Qiu Qing has been longing for love and knowledge for her relatives and neighbors since she was a child. And in this world, where there is light, there must be its unknown dark corners, where the world, we should also understand and respect! But I think that for people in that environment, they should be despised by many people! But we might as well look at it from a different perspective, in fact, you will find that people there will go down a path for their dreams, and they will be more straightforward. And what about us who live in the sunshine? Inevitably more rounded, more utilitarian.

In fact, as the book says: "Life is never fair, and as much as you get, you have to rely on that amount to do your best and live hard." "And we should all feel lucky because we were born to live in the world under the sun, but these are not the capitals we are proud of to ignore the existence of darkness; on the contrary, we should understand it, so that we can truly understand the world."

And as the experience grows, you will slowly find that in this world, everyone's own difficulties, we should not blame all the faults on others, sometimes, we also need to self-reflect.

The above is just a little bit of the feeling I gained from reading "We Are Not Angels", you can also try to read this little book, maybe you will get a different feeling from me.
