Rate this book
郑茜的爸爸妈妈是赌徒,常常欠下一屁股债。阿窿三天两头守在屋外,用各种方法讨债。爸爸妈妈带着两岁的妹妹终日流连赌场,让郑茜躲在邻居春花嬷家。春花嬷独自抚养五个孙子女,个性刻薄无情。长孙女紫珊遭受春花嬷的苦待,与郑茜同病相怜。郑茜既得忍受春花嬷的白眼,又担心自己会被阿窿砍死、担心爸爸妈妈赌到倾家荡产后会把她卖掉。

一天,郑茜一家又面临阿窿在屋外放烟逼人的窘境,爸爸妈妈决定暂时离开避风头,他们把妹妹送去孤儿院,把郑茜留在春花嬷家。

郑茜心寒之余,更多的是愤恨。

“你希望你的人生重新开始吗?”

她想起自己之前在网上报名并获邀参加的“命运抽奖”重生计划——十五个幸运儿,各自携同一个亲友,以人体时空转移的方式重新出生在新的家庭。若那个听起来不可思议的重生计划是真的,那就是她改变人生的绝佳机会。

郑茜与紫珊决定一同前去,她们要换新的人生,换一个能让她们安枕无忧的家……

Realistic and thought-provoking, 命运抽奖 (The Fate Lottery) by 谢智慧 (Xie Zhihui) tells a story about a young girl with gamblers for parents who’s been given a chance of being reborn into a new family.

Summary: 郑茜 (Zheng Qian), with gamblers for parents and constantly living a life of being constantly harassed by loan sharks, is invited to take part in a lottery that gives her the chance to be reborn into a new family. She soon finds herself having to face her dark side.

Tropes/Genres:
• real issues (e.g. gambling)
• fantasy
• magical realism
• science fiction
• time travel

Review: This book really shows the dark sides of human nature. Jealousy, arrogance, greed. This book shows it all. It even sheds light on the problem of gambling addiction and how it affects the people around us. It also shows what people can do for their own selfish needs.

The characters in this book, particularly Zheng Qian and Zishan, are three-dimensional. They are not portrayed as perfect people and have their flaws. The conflict between the two main characters was very realistic. I think the revelation of their true colours was well paced.

I highly recommend this book. It is truly thought-provoking, making readers see how you can’t truly know a person until you face difficulty. You need to be able to read Chinese to read this, though, because there isn’t an English translation.

中文:

谢智慧作者写的《命运抽奖》又现实又发人深省。这本书的剧情跟随一位父母亲不断赌博的女生被给予机会重生,有个新的家庭。

这本小说展现了人性的阴暗面。嫉妒,傲慢,贪图。这本小说把这些不良的特征写了出来。它也让读者看到赌博上瘾这个问题与对成瘾者身边的人造成的影响。它也让读者看到人们为了他们自私的需求而能够做出的坏事。

故事里的两个主角郑茜和紫珊都有自己好和不好的一面。她们不是完美的人,都有挫折。郑茜和紫珊之间的冲突也很现实。我认为她们露出真面目的节奏非常棒。

我强烈推荐这本小说。它的确是一本发人深省的书,让读者看出自己不能完全相信别人,除非已经面对了大难。

They are not portrayed as perfect people and they have their flaws. The conflict between the two main characters was very realistic and I admire that. The author has done a good job with this book. I highly recommend it.
