Today is Sunday, February 16, 2020. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that the sky in Beijing had changed from the snow and haze of recent days, to a sunny day, a strong wind, a blue sky, and a clear air.

I can't help but sigh how good this spring would be without the new coronavirus. Each of us is in the midst of this epidemic, and the people of the whole country are united in their efforts to fight the epidemic.

On days like these, I decided to do something meaningful of my own. For example, from the reader's point of view, take a look at the online article I am updating, "The Bright Moon Invites the Colorful Clouds to Return", and see what I have written. Will anyone want to read it? Is it meaningful?

Unexpectedly, when I saw the first chapter, I couldn't help but systematically scan the following text, and I was particularly dissatisfied with my article, so I immediately made a decision, and the order of the whole text was reversed.

In the process of writing, I originally just wrote and put it away, and after writing a chapter, I immediately posted a chapter on the Internet, and I didn't care about interacting with my book friends.

Also, apart from looking for typos in the chapter before putting the text on the web, I really rarely look back, especially never as a novel, which is probably the biggest reason for my own dissatisfaction.

I couldn't help but ask myself, what do I want to express when I write this online novel?

I deliberately checked my writing assistant, and the codeword calendar recorded that I started writing on December 17, 2019, and before I knew it, there were more than 100,000 words. To be honest, in the short period of two months so far, I have deeply realized the shortage of time, and writing online articles is really a particularly lonely, hard and energy-consuming thing.

As I wrote, I lost more and more of the passion and joy I had when I first wrote. Whether anyone sees it has become secondary, and the biggest request is that since you have started writing, you must be responsible for each of its characters, from the beginning to the end, and never end halfway.

This gives me a great respect for all the web writers and other writers.

This is a novel I've wanted to write for many years, about first love, about entrepreneurship, about life. Originally, I only wanted to express the longing and realization process of some young people's beautiful feelings, but the prototype of this novel is, of course, derived from the personal experience and experience of myself and those around me.

But with the passage of time, in response to the sentence "the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny", all kinds of busyness, dullness and helplessness in life dilute the ideal, and the memories and impulses at that time are becoming more and more blurred.

But the story of the novel itself is becoming more and more deeply formed, and it is gradually filled in the mind, but I have been suffering from the lack of time and energy to write.

I really had the urge to put pen to paper, because in December last year, I accidentally read a novel "La Traviata" again, this masterpiece of the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas, in addition to the twists and turns of the love story itself, I admired Dumas's first-person flashbacks and interludes in the novel.

So, in addition to my busy work and life, I used the time at noon and evening to start the creation of online articles in a hurry. I hope to write a poetic and touching love story about first love, but I don't want the hero and heroine to end tragically, and I hope that we will always believe that in this world, beautiful feelings are all around us.

Therefore, in this novel, I use the first person "I", which adds a certain limit to the promotion of the novel's storyline, and also adds countless feelings of substitution and wonder to my own transposition words and deeds.

I named the heroes and heroines "Shen Yiwei" and "Gu Caiyun" respectively, and the title of each chapter was crowned with a seven-character poem. The full text is divided into two volumes, the first volume is "The Bright Moon Was There", and the second volume is "Please Return with the Colorful Clouds", and the full title of the book is "The Bright Moon Please Accompany the Colorful Clouds".

Love is an eternal topic for human beings, and everyone has their own irreplaceable love epic in their hearts. What's more, I am only a shallow learner and my level is limited, so no matter how hard I try, I can't write a love online essay that is particularly satisfactory to myself and readers.

We always think that juvenile feelings are always poetry, but in fact, where is there really a poetic love? Those poetic love stories are just a plain life that we yearn for, believe, and persevere, and pay tears and struggles.

I just saw a spokesperson for the National Health Commission today say that as of 24 o'clock on February 15, the proportion of severe cases in Wuhan, Hubei, and the whole country has dropped significantly, and the effect of epidemic prevention and control across the country has appeared.

This reminds me of one of the most inspirational quotes I saw yesterday: there is no winter that is insurmountable, and there is no spring that will not come.

This is exactly what I want to express when I revise "The Bright Moon Invites the Colorful Clouds to Return" at this moment, and it is also the wish that each of us is looking forward to at the moment.

Come on!

Eventually, spring will surely come.
