" Alive " was a very famous novel by Yu Hua. The book told the story of a Chinese farmer who survived through war, famine, and other hardships. The book's topics included life, family, friendship, and humanity. It might be inspiring and attractive to junior high school students. However, this book also had a certain complexity and depth that might not be suitable for all junior high school students to read. Before reading, I suggest that junior high school students first understand some basic Chinese literature and cultural knowledge in order to better understand this book. In addition, if junior high school students were confused or did not understand certain plots or characters, they could stop reading at any time and ask their teachers or parents for help.
