Abstract: Rereading The Ordinary World still has a strong sense of penetration, and the content of social life reflected in the works can still awaken our sleeping memory and trigger a powerful spiritual shock. Just because the novel really goes into reality, and the author's historical poetic writing and the historical poetic characteristics of his works, The Ordinary World is still able to penetrate the back of the paper, spread the light layer by layer, let people understand and read the connotation of social history. The history of rural reform, peasant entrepreneurship and youth struggle in the novel just reflect the development and growth of society, family, individual and so on in the 1980s. From Huangshui Village, Shigejie to Huangyuan and Tongcheng Dayawan, from rural areas to city, the work reflects the social style of an era as a whole, which has rich historical and poetic values.
