On the first day of the inspection, a kid in Tianjin showed Huahua a copy of his daily schedule: Rise at 0600, eat a quick breakfast, humanities class at 0630, grade 5, primarily by self-study. At 0830 start work. Get off work at 1700. After dinner, at 1900, begin specialty classes in job-related knowledge and skills. Finish at 2200, add another hour of humanities. The day didn’t end until 2300. The kid said, “I’m tired. Just tired. My greatest wish these days is to sleep all the way till doomsday.”

This book had 3* on GR, so I was expecting it to be just good enough. The first impression- idea was quite good, so at least an short story would have been worth it. Second- Now that execution has started, it is living up to it. This being a nove makes sense upon seeing the detais required. Now- This thought is interesting- Children are getting worn out working with no motivation but just because they 'have to'. I wonder how CG will keep them working. Also makes me think about motivations in real world. Also, is there an hirarchy by age in SE? Surely adults should have defined new age limits to go to schools and when to start working. If there is a model for this, author hasn't gone in detail yet.
