421. Fan letters
Liang Yu is a cartoonist, just as the vast majority of cartoonists have fans, Mr. Yuliang's fans accumulated since the beginning of "Chess Soul" should not be underestimated, in fact, a large number of fans write to Liang Yu every week, and the official also holds fan feedback activities from time to time, such as signing meetings, or buying magazines to give cat teachers pendants, pencils, erasers, mobile phone cases and other gadgets.
The accumulated fan letters are naturally not casually thrown away as garbage, but after they have been saved enough, they are handed over to the author by the editor himself. When Liang Yu was in Qiunan City, those letters were all brought by Huang Yuan by car in person, but now that she is far away in Dongyang City, these things can only be packaged and mailed.
"Thank you for helping me move here."
The courier only moved the things downstairs in the dormitory, and was not allowed to come up because of the dormitory manager, and helped Liang Yu to carry the things up, in addition to Liao Yuqing and Xia Ji, who were sleeping together, there were three girls who happened to pass by, and took the initiative to help, which made Liang Yu feel embarrassed.
"It's fine." The girls said cheerfully, then glanced at the tightly packed bags and boxes on the ground: "Are these all things bought on Taobao?" ”
"Well, it's actually a letter from a fan and some gifts or something."
"Oh, oh, it's worthy of Teacher Yuliang!" There was a little girl with a round face over there who said with starry eyes.
The girl next to her pulled her quite shyly: "Since the things have been moved, let's leave first without bothering." ”
"Huh," the little girl next to her reluctantly sounded.
Liang Yu is now an old man, where can he not understand this kind of human feelings, although there are not many roads on the third floor, but people will help you move things up. It's too much to say if you don't give a glass of water to comfort you: "If you don't dislike it, do you want to stay and drink a glass of water before leaving, you can also take a look at these letters together, after all, there are a lot of them, and I will be happy if you are willing to help." ”
"Oh, we'd love to!" The little girl with a round face answered in seconds.
The other two agreed. Xia Ji was holding the kettle here, ready to prepare coffee and tea for everyone, while Liao Yuqing couldn't wait to open the first box after asking Liang Yu for instructions.
Not to mention, this is really a big project, because a box is thickly filled with more than five hundred letters, and there are a total of seven boxes of such boxes, although these boxes are not full of letters and postcards, and there are also gifts sent to Liang Yu by fans. But this amount is a bit too much.
There are a lot of letters, but the content is basically very similar, most of them are praising Liang Yu and his friends, of course, there are also some admonitions, testimonials and the like, among them, there is a letter that impresses Liang Yu quite deeply.
Teacher Yuliang greets:
When I heard that the teacher was drawing this manga, he was a high school student just like me. To be honest, I was deeply shocked. I'm a boy, a boy with a weak sense of existence. To be honest, I hadn't read shoujo manga like Margaerylyn before, so it was purely by chance that I came across the teacher's "Friend's Account", and maybe it was my luck, I thought.
I have had a hard life since I was a child, and I have always been a little transparent in school, and I don't have many friends. So at first, I was very envious that Natsume was so well taken care of by the Fujiwara couple, and that he was such a good friend as Mr. Kitty. But as the plot develops, I gradually understand what happiness is, and it is not obtained by chance. It's not a charity out of thin air, and if you think about it, my life is not completely unfortunate, at least, there have been a lot of people who have helped, maybe they just met me, and some have even helped me many times. And I, on the other hand, always think of the misfortunes of the past when life and study are not going well, but I am not as grateful as Natsume.
Natsume is bittersweet.
A gentle child like him, I'm sorry, maybe I'm not old enough to say that, but Natsume has cultivated his current personality at a very young age. He is lonely, but he is still gentle, and his heart longs for everyone's happiness. Just imagine, if Natsume was like me in the past, treating things with a complaining heart and cursing life, a proud fairy like Mr. Cat would not be willing to take the initiative to follow him and protect him. And around him, there will be no good friends like Tanuma, Nishimura and Kitamoto.
In the manga, Natsume once had a line that impressed me deeply.
"If I go bad," he said, "no one will take me in." ”
It's inexplicably heart-wrenching, but that's also the part that Natsume has always insisted on herself.
Whether it's grandmother Reiko Natsuki or Takashi Natsume, they are actually sad people. In human society, they are aliens and ostracized, so they want to seek a pure land. Takashi is probably the most empathetic to his grandmother's feelings, and he is clearly telling the truth, but he is blamed by adults and scolded by other children for being a liar.
That kind of grievance seems to be stuffed with chaos in the chest, and it is difficult to confide, so you can only bear it silently alone.
In many cases, I have been in Natsume's place, and I think I can understand his feelings, because I am the same, and the feeling of being ostracized and judged by others makes me seem to disappear from this world. To tell you the truth, I thought about killing myself several times, but in the end, the knife only cut a little flesh, and I gave up in fear.
Sometimes I hate my weakness and can't even die, but Natsume is much stronger in comparison. Even if he has been hurt, even if he has become indifferent on the outside, his heart has not been frozen because of this. He's saved kappa, worshipped the god of rujin, helped a little fox who had just recently appeared and was bullied by the same youkai, and more importantly, he desperately maintained his desire for the peaceful coexistence of humans and youkai.
Humans and monsters are not only fighting, I think, Mr. Yuliang's intention here, although it is written about people and monsters, but what is written is actually the alienation, estrangement and distrust between people. But as long as you are willing to understand and communicate with each other, the distance will eventually be shortened, and there will be bonds between lonely and strange people, and there will be a happy place for people to live in.
It is precisely because of this that I have decided to change myself, and I can't always complain about life and the indifference of others.
To be honest, I finally mustered up the courage to talk to my classmates last week, and at first, they were very surprised, but after a few conversations, they really got acquainted.
"I didn't expect you guys to be quite able to talk."
"Are you interested in this, I happen to have this book at home, I'll borrow it from you next time."
After that, I was able to say hello to and from school, and I thought it must be because I took the first step. Actually, sometimes, distance and estrangement are not terrible, the most important thing is whether you have the courage to take that step towards the other party, Natsume did it, I think, I will also work hard for it.
Thank you, Mr. Yuliang, and thank you. To be able to meet you when I am most lonely and most in need.
And,I heard that the animation is going to be broadcast soon.,I wish it a good night.,The teacher's wishes come true.,Everything is well.。
- Signature, a very helpful fan.
This letter, everyone in the dormitory read it, Liang Yu had an indescribable feeling in her heart, this is a relief, happiness, or accident, she didn't think that her story could help others.
After thinking about it, Liang Yu called the editor Huang Yuan again, and after discussing it, Liang Yu decided to open up a small link for readers and authors to communicate behind the cartoons published in each issue of the friend's account. (To be continued.) )
