Foreword: Why did you choose to read on?
First of all, thank you, dear, for giving me a second chance to click into the world of "One-legged Ghost". www.biquge.info I hope that after this, we will become good friends forever. Secondly, thank you for choosing genuine literature. At a time when piracy is so rampant and pirates are wantonly and greedily squandering the author's efforts, there are still you, the most staunch supporter of genuine copyright.
Thank you very much.
In fact, the title and synopsis of a book are quite important, because most readers almost decide whether to "come in or not" by the title and synopsis.
For example, before the book was released, I asked my friend to try reading it. A few days later, I asked my friend what she felt after reading it, and she was embarrassed to hide her face with her hands and tell me:
"I'm sorry, I didn't read a word. ”
"Why!"
I was angry and disappointed. Besides, we are still good friends and best friends!
Later, she told me the truth about "not reading at all", which put me in a dilemma.
It turns out that my best friend is particularly afraid of thrillers and bloody violence, and even some swords and swords, long guns and short cannons appear in the TV series, which can make her mind for a long time. So she said to me with some guilt, it was not that my novel was not attractive, but that that night, when she got the first draft and saw the title of the book, she had a terrible dream at night for no reason......!
I see, I woke up. The title of my book "The One-Legged Ghost" is very straightforward, and even the word "ghost" has discouraged many "title parties" or "book title parties" who are afraid of thriller themes like my girlfriend. For this, I really want to say that this title really hurt a group of readers who are delicate, kind, pure, and cute.
Though...... My girlfriends and friends asked me to change the title of the book before it hit the shelves, and I thought about it for a while and still insisted - no change!
I asked my girlfriend:
"Don't you like love stories the most? Why did you sentence me to death just because of the title of a book?"
She smiled and said, "Isn't this a ghost story?"
Sorry, there can be love in ghost stories, and besides, it's not a "ghost story" at all.
The reason why I insist on not changing the title of the book is because the three words "one-legged ghost" contain too many ups and downs, and three words are enough to summarize the whole story, so it is also all-encompassing, otherwise how can I use a few short words to summarize this wonderful, fantasy and suspenseful, unforgettable love, friendship, conspiracy, and adventure and puzzle solving, which may subvert your worldview but is reasonable?
So if you conclude that "One-legged Ghost" is a story you don't like and is purely made for horror based on the three words, I'm sorry, you really misunderstand it.
And then, I still won't change the title of "The One-Legoted Ghost" anyway.
Many readers, and even my family members, have laughed at me and asked what the hell is this "one-legged ghost"?
Literally, it is "shaped like a child, with one foot backwards, and a prisoner at night, whose name is Xiao, a kind of monster in ancient Chinese legends".
From the perspective of a novel, "The One-Legoted Ghost" is history, the human heart, and something that you can understand if you open it and read it slowly.
So, don't ruthlessly put a book on death row just by "taking it out of context" just by virtue of its title.
At this point, I will not forget the original intention, in one sentence, it is not easy and endurance to write a book, thank you readers for your patience and watching. You can use book reviews, comments, tips, and subsequent subscriptions to tell me the advantages and disadvantages of this book, as well as the value of its existence. You can also pick bones or nitpick, after all, it is difficult to reconcile, and only with criticism can there be progress. But I don't accept the "poisonous tongue", please forgive me.
So, thank you again for wasting so much time in order to read the preface, if you understand the mystery of "The One-Legged Ghost", the answer, please find it in the text. You are about to read the first chapter of this book, "Xiaoxi Forest Farm"
Thank.
