Zhang Henshui 
Friends and Enemies 

Enjoyed a reputation as Three Big Ages together with Transitional Age and Golden Age of Zhang Henshui, this book is also called Youth Age, describing a story of a man from plowboy to modern youth. To contribute to his son, the father left hometown for efforts while died in a foreign country. This book spread around love and family ties, money and beauty, and degradation and destruction. Zhang Henshui said in the comments that I was afraid to say perfect but it is better than Si Shui Liu Nian (Youth Passes as a Fleeting Wave).
