"Xiao Ge Lao" was published on December 10, 2019, and was completed today on January 29, 2022. A full 780 days have passed.
I was not yet 38 when I started the book, but now I am over forty when I write it. It's indeed too long and it's time to end.
Of course, many readers will feel that they still have more to say. This is unavoidable in this kind of story, because we are deduce an era and imagine what kind of world our nation will live in if we do some things right.
In this case, it is not a story with a complete beginning, development, climax and ending. It is a fantasy history that is constantly moving forward, woven together from many events in all aspects.
?????????????????????So it is bound to come up again and again. One problem is solved, and other problems appear again. . Even if a problem is only temporarily solved, it will create trouble again in the future. You can't find a perfect ending.
Just when you think you can take a breather, a host of problems always arise. This is the life of adults and what history should be like.
Then I can only choose a relatively suitable time point to draw a break for this story. I have always felt that it was very appropriate for Qi Jiguang to say those words while admiring the maple leaves on Mount Fuji.
Because at this time, the main line of the struggle in the article is over. The achievements in the introduction have basically been achieved (Matteo Ricci's one is in the extra chapter), and the new struggle is only brewing. With Zhao Hao's rising prestige, it is not enough to become a big trouble.
I have thought before that it would end with the formal founding of the People's Republic of China, but this would have too many flaws, and I feel that the style would be lowered.
In fact, I think this book is very complete. All the questions are answered, but some of them are too clear. You know, it is not as interesting as Pinpin.
For example, the imperial system must be abolished now. But will there be a restoration in the future? If the King of England wants to be restored, he has to wait until Cromwell is dead. Restoration will have to wait until Zhao Hao's death. So it will be at least a few decades later.
As for Wanli¡¯s life and death? I find it difficult to live. Because political struggle is not a treat, because letting the people chop off the head of an emperor is of great benefit to anti-imperialism. Because according to Longsha's prophecy, eight hundred earthly immortals still want to kill dragons to attain enlightenment.
But will Zhao Hao be extra merciful and let him go to Mr. Xu to receive transformation? This is quite immature, but it is the ending I want to see.
Because after all, he is a selfish nerd like you and me who has no overall perspective. He was just put in an inappropriate position. Let us do it for him, maybe the Three Great Zhengs will kneel down. Therefore, the biggest problem is the family world, which is the inheritance of power from father to son (in fact, power does not only include public power).
So this question is basically a matter of opinion, and no one can convince anyone. I think it¡¯s ugly no matter how I write it. It's better to just put the guillotine there and let him remain a fat man who is about to die.
This is just an example. In short, there are all kinds of problems, and there is no end at all. Of course, if you continue writing, it will still end, just in the form of 404.
So why not put a pause on the most wonderful moment.
Of course, the story in the book continues. If you want to see who and what happens next, you can leave a message later. As long as the TV station allows it to be broadcast, I will take a break after the New Year and write a few extras for the readers.
So be it.
I feel really exhausted, especially in the last few months, when day and night were completely reversed.
It¡¯s really tiring to write this kind of book. I¡¯m blinded by looking up information and reference books every day. Yes, Mr. Zhao¡¯s eye disease is my eye disease. I also have back pain and insomniaand it is mixed with too much pressure in life. I have not escaped any of the problems that people should encounter in middle age. It is really too involved. I have lost my energy, but the quality of my books may have deteriorated for a while, so I sincerely apologize to everyone.
But there are also happy things. First of all, I have become a gentler person. Even in the most difficult times, my family is still full of love. The readers gave me great encouragement and comfort.
I have said that since October, this book has become a haven for my soul to escape reality. I want it to continue writing more than anyone else, but I really feel that it has reached its end, so I should release "Happy Tonight" . If you write any further, it might just be a ghost story
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of course the book did very well, the electronic subscription broke my own record, everything that should be sold was also sold. Anyway, no regrets.
What¡¯s even happier is that I found that my writing mentality is still very young. My writing attitude is also very correct, and I have found my original passion for writing.
As for the new book? Don't worry, now I am exhausted both physically and mentally. After the New Year, I need to take a good rest, exercise, and recharge my batteries. Spend time with your family and think carefully at the same time.A very good story.
Because I now clearly realize that I am no longer young. How many books can I write even if I take one book in two years? Therefore, we must take every subsequent book extremely seriously, not just talk about how to do it as easily as possible. You have to take responsibility for your own writing career Of course, the core of good characters, good plot, and good rhythm will not change.
It must be a good story, and I won¡¯t let it out if I¡¯m not satisfied this time!
Finally, I would like to wish you all a happy New Year in advance and wish you all a prosperous and prosperous New Year! See you next year!
