Tiểu thời đại 1.0

Tiny Times #1

by Guo Jingming

Trong vũ trụ nhỏ nhoi có một thời đại nhỏ nhoi…

Có nhiều con đường để tìm hiểu Thượng Hải, một trong những thành phố hào quang lấp lánh nhất trên bản đồ Trung Quốc rộng lớn. Một thành phố đang phát triển với tốc độ ánh sáng. Trong một thời đại lạnh lùng sắc bén như dao găm.

Trên mức phông nền ấy, bốn nữ nhân vật chính xuất hiện: Lâm Tiêu mơ màng, Cố Ly tiểu thư, Đường Uyền Như đầu óc đơn giản, và Nam Thương, cô gái bí ẩn dưới vẻ ngoài xinh đẹp. Câu chuyện về bốn cô gái, bốn tính cách, bốn số phận giữa thành phố Thượng Hải phồn hoa được kể lại chân thật như chính hơi thở cuộc sống thời hiện đại, với đủ hỷ nộ ái ố, tình yêu và nỗi đau, những tham vọng, tính toán và cả những giấc mơ bất thành...

Straight-forward plot with good language if you're trying to practice your Mandarin

สนุกมาก ภาษาสวยและดีมากกกก แปลดีมากด้วยค่ะ แต่เอาจริงๆ เป็นแนวที่ไม่ชอบเลย แนว gossip girl+sex and the city คือ ยอม ไม่ไหว ถ้าอ่านสมัยมอปลายอาจจะชอบกว่านี้ค่ะ

Tiny time เป็นเรื่องราวของแก๊งค์สี่สาวสุดสวย (ทำไมคนสวยๆ ต้องอยู่ด้วยกันอะ หือ) ที่ฐานะต่างกัน แต่ก็เป็นเพื่อนรักกัน มีมุมมองการใช้ชีวิตที่ต่างกันในเซี่ยงไฮ้ ก็นั่นแหละค่ะ ถ้าผู้หญิงสวยๆ สามสี่คนอยู่ด้วยกันจะเกิดอะไรขึ้น แน่ละสิก็มีแต่เรื่องให้ปวดหัวเต็มไปหมด ทั้งหักหลัง ทั้งแทงข้างหลัง ทั้งน้ำเน่า แต่ก็เต็มเปี่ยมไปด้วยมิตรภาพและภาษาที่สวยงามของคนเขียน ภาษาสวยจริงๆ นะคะ เรื่องนี้ยอมจริงๆ แม้จะเป็นแนวที่เราไม่ชอบแต่ก็อ่านจบเพราะน่าติดตาม อยากรู้ว่าอีแก็งค์สาวสวยมันจะจบยังไง อยากจะเห็นนักว่ามิตรภาพมันจะรักกันขนาดไหนเชียว (หมั้นไส้อะไรเบอร์นั้นนะ)

มีเรื่องที่ชอบอีกอย่างนึงด้วยค่ะ คือวิธีการเล่าเรื่องในหนังสือ เล่าเหมือนกำลังดูซีรีย์เลย แม้เล่าด้วยประธานที่หนึ่ง (ฉัน-หลินเซียว) แต่ก็แพนกล้องไปเล่ามุมคนอื่นๆ ด้วยทัน เหมือนกำลังดูซีรี่ย์ที่ต้องอธิบายมุมมองของตัวละครอื่นๆ เพื่อให้เราคนอ่านเข้าใจเรื่องราวทั้งหมดมากกว่าตัวละครที่กำลังบรรยาย นอกจากนั้นในหนังสือยังพูดถึงฉากเซี่ยงไฮ้ การแบ่งแยกชนชั้น การแก่งดีชิงเด่นได้ดีจนเห็นภาพในช่วงปี 2008 เลยทีเดียว คนไม่เคยไปเซี่ยงไฮ้ก็นึกภาพตามได้แน่นอน (ดิฉันไม่เคยไป)

และสุดท้าย พออ่านเล่มหนึ่งจบถึงเพิ่งรู้... อ่าว!!!! หนังสือเล่มนี้มันสามเล่มจบหรออออออออออ แงงงงงงงง เล่มสองจะมาเมื่อไรอะ ฮือ นี่ขนาดไม่ชอบนะ แต่มันอดใจอยากรู้ตอนจบไม่ได้นี่!

At the beginning of the story, Lin Xiao, Gu Li, Nan Xiang and Tang Wan Ru are just entering college. Despite their different paths, the four girls' friendship is as strong as high school. As time goes by slowly, 4 girls begin to contact real life and society in succession, also in the endless changes and emergencies grew to exercise himself, sharpen the will, got metamorphosis. Four very different girls who support each other and are shoulders to lean on when needed. Even if there are sometimes conflicts of opinion, will be on the same issue, there will be contradictions and differences, and even occasionally stiff, but after all, years of solid deep friendship is not vulnerable, but can withstand the baptism and test of time. Maybe that's what true friendship is all about. We have different majors, roads, different outlook on life, values, different personalities and lives, but we can still get along very well, and become each other's dependence and strength at the critical moment. It is not necessary to get together all the time and everywhere, even if separated from each other, as long as the bottom of my heart sincerely hope that each other live well, it is enough.

I have heard of Guo Jingming's "Little Times" for a long time, but I haven't opened this novel that has made countless young students addicted. After reading it, it can be said that I have a lot of feelings.
This book tells the journey of four girls from ignorance to maturity. In the journey of growing up, they have encountered temptations, regrets, difficulties. However, they were strongly supporting each other all the time, which touched my a lot.
Friendship may be the most precious gift in a long life. There is joy, warmth, and bitterness. The protagonists in the story have experienced mutual warmth, mutual suspicion, and quarrels, but in the end they are still the closest to each other. My biggest feeling after reading the book is that in my life, I can be sincere to everyone who treats me sincerely and meet my best friends.

A story of women written, obviously, not by a woman. The characters are not relatable. I didn't notice any character development. Everybody is beautiful and handsome in the book, and I was reminded of it in almost every paragraph. The descriptions of the environment are repeated again and again in different chapters. I recognized the brands mentioned in the description of the characters' outfit, but I couldn't imagine nor understand what they meant in relation to the story. The plot is at least a little interesting (that's how it earned 2 stars instead of 1). The jumping of POV and the chapter breaks could be executed better.

I wanted to read this book because I like one of the songs of the same-titled movie. Almost DNF but the book is short so I pushed through. Not interested in reading the other books in this series, nor by this author.

纯粹娱乐。发现向江同学借书的后果就是到最后我们都分不清书到底是我的还是她的并且都不想弄清……never mind.

高中某个早上借来读完的。完全无法理解里面角色的生活，也不懂为什么小说里为什么要塞入这么多英文写的品牌。有善用比喻的作家，少见的却是这种善用品牌名的作家。作者的幻城我更是看了第一页就直接敬而远之了。

Tiny Times 1.0 Vol.1 by Jingming Guo is a realistic fiction book. This book is about four girls which are best friends and how they break up then get back together again. I love this book because the author created really good characters and had really good plots. The whole theory of this book is really long, it really tells well what all people are dreaming about through all characters, but Jingming Guo had too much transitions and sometimes it gets really bored, however he had some really good ideas about how the girls get back together every time. I recommend this book for people over age 12, because it has some deep meanings which little kid can’t understand. I hope people read this book because it tells everyone’s dreams through different characters.

Cách viết truyện của Quách Kính Minh rất hay, đọc cảm giác khác lạ và thoải mái thông qua lời kể của nhân vật Lâm Tiêu về bản thân, những người bạn và sự vật diễn ra xung quanh cô. Đọc truyện cảm giác ở đâu đó tìm thấy bản thân mình trong câu truyện. Đây là truyện hay về tình yêu, thời tuổi trẻ khi trải qua những năm tháng sinh viên. Rất đáng đọc.
