A feast on paper, youthful greed
The volume of "The Long River of Sunset" has finally come to an end, thank you for your patience to read this volume.
In fact, this volume has been written for almost two years, and it has been written without stopping, but it was finally finished, because I really couldn't resist the excitement and devotion when I coded words.
This volume is about the young Ding Si, who is eighteen years old and in his prime, with all kinds of curiosity about the outside world and all kinds of expectations for the future, but not without confusion.
And, in my mind, eighteen years old is still a very confusing time.
When parents start to let go, when you are ready to go alone, when the world reaches out to you, you will suddenly feel unconfident, especially children who are too well protected.
However, there is still a way forward.
There are a lot of things that happen to you, and these things either make you happy or make you miserable, you accept it or not, you don't adapt to it, you have to move forward.
Perhaps, the work you do is not what you are willing to do;
Perhaps, the person you love can't go side by side with you;
Perhaps, you are not used to seeing all the things around you;
Perhaps, you are starting to worry about your livelihood.
In this volume, Ding Si is the same, he did fast fishing but didn't know why he was doing fast catching, he fell in love with white clothes but couldn't stay together, and he was hindered from doing what he wanted to do.
He was confused, he didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him.
This kind of setting should not be what readers want to see, I remember someone said to me before: "Online texts are conjecture, you have to have a golden finger, you have to make readers feel good, and you have to make the protagonist omnipotent." ”
I hesitated for a long time, and I also wanted to write a work of traversal, wives and concubines, warblers, Yanyan, Wen can govern the country and martial arts can level the world, and everyone surrenders to the world and admires.
But I finally gave up, at my age, yes, at my age older than my uncle, it would be too sad to blindly follow or imitate.
What's more, these are originally deceitful, there is no crossing, there is no such a simple ** silk counterattack, although it is cool to read the text for a while, but it is just self-deception.
Then, I asked myself, why did I go to codeword?
It's not about fame, it's not about making money, it's not about getting ahead. Just to express the feelings in the chest, express their feelings, the picture is the refreshment of the codeword.
When I'm not writing, I feel extra peaceful.
So, when someone suggested that I pounce on this novel, I thought: can't pounce, can't pounce, even if it is written for me alone, I can't pounce.
Because, here are traces of my youth.
The confusion of those teenagers, the boiling blood, the unwillingness and impulsiveness, the pain and excitement are all complementary to each other, so I want to express the above things.
So there was finally this volume of "The Sunset of the Great Ming Golden Knife Catching Fast".
In this volume, Zhu Youzhu is a young man, Ding Si is a young man, Xiong Tianlei is also a young man, and Bai Yi is also a young man, a group of young people who don't know the difficulties of the world, fighting indifference with enthusiasm and stereotypes with youth.
The blood of youth is enough to dilute all kinds of suffering and misfortune.
According to records, Zhu Youji's biological mother is an ordinary palace maid, surnamed Ji, and was favored by Xianzong to get pregnant, Wan Guifei sent someone to have an abortion for her, and the palace people who went to the palace couldn't bear to do this, so they lied that Ji's stomach was a tumor, Wan Guifei was not at ease, and Ji's was locked up in the cold palace, and Ji gave birth to Zhu Youzhu in the cold palace, and Wan Guifei sent the eunuch Zhang Min to drown Zhu Youzhu after learning about it, but Zhang Min considered that Xianzong had no children so far, so not only did he not do what Wan Guifei said, Instead, he secretly protected Zhu Youji. Later, one day, when Zhang Min was combing Xianzong's hair, Xianzong sighed that he had no son at such an age, Zhang Min knelt down and told Xianzong that he had a son, but so on, has been raised in the deep palace, Xianzong was surprised and delighted, and asked Zhang Min to bring Zhu Youzhi at that time, so that Zhu Youzhu was named the crown prince, and named Ji as a concubine, but soon Ji died violently, Zhang Min committed suicide by swallowing gold, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was worried that Zhu Youzhu was also poisoned, so she took Zhu Youzhu to her residence, and taught Zhu Youzhu that he couldn't eat Wan Guifei's things casually. As a result, one day Wan Guifei took Zhu Youzhu to her residence and gave him a lot of delicious things, but Zhu Youzhu didn't taste any of them, and said: "I'm afraid that the food is poisonous." Wan Guifei was furious, so she asked to abolish the crown prince Zhu Youjiao, and set up the son of Concubine Shao Chen, Xingwang Zhu Youhang, but when Xianzong decided to abolish Zhu Youji, Mount Tai earthquake, Qin Tianjian said that this omen should be in the East Palace, Xianzong had to give up, and Wan Guifei's conspiracy was frustrated. Later, Xianzong died, Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne, and faced a devastated Ming Dynasty, but in such an environment, Zhu Youzhu still created a situation of "Hongzhi Zhongxing".
It takes a lot of courage to be born in adversity, grow up in thorns, and still be optimistic and loyal.
Therefore, I have always felt that the environment is not an excuse and reason for us to feel sorry for ourselves, no one in this world is smooth sailing, and you can only say that you are unlucky if you have worked hard.
But in this book, the protagonist is not Zhu Youji, because his identity and experience are not comparable to ordinary people, so I fictionalized the character of Ding Si.
In my vision, Ding Si should be such a person: sunny, handsome, aggressive, and he has a clear sense of morality and justice. According to the ancient regulations, catching fast is also cheap servitude, children and grandchildren can only study and become officials after three generations, Ding Si because his father is a fast catcher, can not study, can not engage in other occupations, so, had to do fast catching, the general duty of catching fast is to catch people, urge taxes, Ding Si in such an environment, will definitely feel bored, because in the minds of young people, no one who wants to live a dull life. However, who knows which direction fate will take us. Fortunately, at this time, Ding Si met Bai Yi, and when Bai Yi said to him, "You just need to catch a good person and not let go of a bad person", his world seemed to be suddenly cheerful, he is no longer a catcher who only obeys the orders of others, he can examine his own behavior and make what he does have a more positive meaning, therefore, at this time, he likes Bai Yi wholeheartedly, he feels that this is a girl who can understand her, not to mention, this girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she is smart and witty. Under the influence of Bai Yi, Ding Si adhered to this belief and wholeheartedly tracked down the whereabouts of Xiong Tianlei's mother Feng Yue'e, but he was frightened step by step, but he was involved in a shocking conspiracy. As a young man, he is not deeply involved in the world, and he must continue to grow, so in this volume, I wrote that Ding Si tracked down the criminal but was soon discovered, and he was helpless in the face of powerful opponents, so I wrote into a role of catching gods to help Ding Si grow up as soon as possible.
In fact, when readers read the novel, they have found that many times they are not happy to read, because Ding Si does not have the characteristics of being like a god, he just has enthusiasm and moves forward in the direction he insists on. I think, as a young person, that's enough.
You are not deeply involved in the world, you will not stand out all at once, what you do is not forget your original intention, so that the blood on your body does not cool down.
As the heroine of the book, Bai Yi undertakes another mission: in the process of growing up as a young person, if there is a conflict between responsibility and emotion, which one will you choose?
If you look closely at this volume, you will find that the answer I give is responsibility. On the road of growth, we can't act arbitrarily, we must give up something, although it hurts, but you have nowhere to escape, you have no choice.
At this point, I suddenly felt a little nervous, I wanted to express so much, but I didn't know if I had the ability to express this intention perfectly.
As I write this volume, I have been overcoming my negative emotions. As a newcomer to writing, although I am a little older, like many new writers, I have to face the hardships of just starting out on this path. The first time the pants were pushed, I kept swiping the screen, looking at the number of clicks, looking at the number of collections, I watched the collection rise from 19 to 68, I checked the posts of other writers on the Internet, through comparison, I found that this data was extremely bleak, during that time I continued to advertise in the post bar, and ran to other works to leave a message to communicate, hoping that the data would look better, I even wanted to brush some data on a treasure, I was afraid that the results would be too bad and the editor would give up on me, everything I did was to do it for the blind to see, and work in vain. But then I rejected those ideas, and I was asking myself, why am I writing?
So in the midst of the pain, there is the first answer: to express your emotions, only the refreshment of the codeword. As a person born in the Chinese department, Confucian things have penetrated into the bones, "the good is to help the world, and the poor are good alone", "there is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, and then there is speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called three immortals". If I can express what I want to express and resonate with readers, there is a point that I would like. If none of this can be achieved, at least, I can use my own experience to tell my child that I have always been very serious and hardworking, and when she grows up, I will read this novel to her, hoping that she can see what I want to express.
In this way, the heart calmed down, every day in the spare time code words, although the number of clicks may only be more than 10 a week, although the collection rose by two and one less, so repeatedly, but it had little impact on me.
In fact, I also found that I am also improving, "Sunset Long River" has been coded for almost two years, and the next volume of "Raptors Across the River" has been coded with more than 200,000 words in more than two months, I feel that the writing is more comfortable, and sometimes I can't help but cry when I code words.
I think that since there is such a beginning, at least, I will finish this work and not dig a big hole for those who insist on reading this book.
Also, in the end, I want to say, thank you for persevering in watching it, now I read the previous plot, there are a few places that also make me ashamed, such as: the disguise of the white clothes when she was undercover, and her brain-dead behavior of dispersing her internal strength. Thank you for being able to endure watching such old episodes, and there won't be any more episodes in the next volume.
Finally, let's explain the plot of the eunuch palace change, such a thing did happen in the Ming Dynasty, but this happened in the Ming Yingzong period, in July of the fifth year of Tianshun (1461), the eunuch Cao Jixiang colluded with the Fan general to rebel, but the rebellion failed, but was broken into the market street. And Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhi ascended the throne is relatively smooth, in the writing of the Ming Yingzong historical events to use, but also please readers do not be misled.
By tomorrow, "Daming Golden Knife Catching Fast" will enter the next volume of "Raptors Crossing the River", in a blink of an eye, Ding Si is already thirty years old, let's meet in the text tomorrow.
