[Abandoned station testimonial] or will be suspended
I don't deny that when I created "Demon Land", I had the idea of "making money with books and developing with books", but it is also undeniable that "making money with books and developing with books" is what almost all literature lovers crave. After all, why not be able to do it when you can sincerely devote yourself to the cause you love, and still get a lot of rewards?
But for a true lover of literature, what should occupy a greater weight in his heart should be the original intention of his writing and the ideas he holds in his heart.
Because for them, or for us, whether it is the initial writing and opening of the book, or the silent cultivation and persistence in the later period, it all comes from that love for literature and the persistence of this love.
This kind of love will not be shattered because of long-term burial or annihilation, but this kind of long-term perseverance will make it difficult for many people to stick to their original intentions, and even reluctantly succumb to reality, so as to gradually forget or abandon their original intentions and principles......
In my opinion, only those literature lovers who adhere to their principles, do not forget their original intentions, and are full of love for literature can be called a real writer, and as for the rest, they are just some executioners who stifle literature.
But the fact is that these executioners who stifle literature are like idols in the film and television industry, who gain fame and fortune by catering to the public, while those literature lovers who want to express their ideas with books and inspire humanity with their ideas can only be silenced at the bottom of the world......
This result is not only the sorrow of a writer, but also the sorrow of the entire literary world! And the main culprit of this result or phenomenon is the extremely heavy commercialization tendency of these so-called "literary websites and online entertainment culture"!
If you don't aim to promote and inherit literature, then why do you tarnish the reputation of literature here under the guise of literature? Why don't you just do these veritable things in the name of a certain commercial novel network or a certain online entertainment station?
Perhaps, your original intention was to propagate and develop literature...... Perhaps, your original intention was to make a profit in the name of literature.
If it is the former, I just want to say that even a literary giant with a large number of talents and a reputation can only succumb to the present and cater to a commercial society......
If it is the latter, I can only shake my head and sigh, lamenting the rise and fall of literature and the degeneration of writers......
The drama is in charge and the country is dying, this sentence seems inappropriate and inappropriate, but the deep meaning and warning implied in it are the same. Because not every "drama" is "Chen Daoming", and not every creator will be responsible for the impact of his works.
And when a group and a company lose their own principles and lose their bottom line, what will it usher in?
Some people may say that you have this kind of thought, just because you are not deeply involved in the world, and if you are also in the reality of "survival", you will not say these words.
I agree with this, but I can't change this idea until I get through the "angry youth" and "get too involved in the world."
But even if I have passed through the "angry youth" and waded through the deep world, even if I have chosen to follow the footsteps of the public and step into the trend of fighting for survival because of the pressure of reality, can that mean that I and you have abandoned my principles, bottom line and beliefs?
......
In the face of the pressure of life and reality, many people will use all kinds of side objects and various ways to relieve the restlessness and depression in their hearts, and among them, I believe that most of the people who choose to dive into the sea of books are the majority, and among this part of the people, the people who choose online articles and novels are also the majority.
Because when reading a book, they can completely open their hearts and minds to the scene in the book, follow the protagonist of the book to the wanton journey, to sing magnificently, feel the ups and downs of the characters in the book, and fantasize that one day, they can have such a life, without worrying about so many social contradictions and practical pressures......
In other words, it is a special way for people to place their emotions on themselves.
In my opinion, a book is a world.
Perhaps there will be many irrational places in the worldview of this world, and there will be many contradictions that are contrary to objective reality, but perhaps this alternative worldview is also the fascinating thing about a book, and it is also the charm of this book.
But a good book needs to be not only charming, but also meaningful.
A book that is cool and messy, but has no deep meaning, may make people love it for a while, but once the three-point heat has passed, how many people can remember it? But a book with too many truths and sparse cool points will also make people unable to chase after it for a long time, because they understand these truths, and because these things involve contradictions in reality, they bring them back to their suppressed emotions......
It's contradictory, but it's also tangible.
But for a true literature lover, even if it is his own reader, it is enough to feel a little touch of his heart and realize the slightest meaning of life from his own book.
Therefore, there are so many literature lovers, who know that their works do not conform to the trend of commercialization, and they know that their efforts may not be able to get much return, but they are still willing to fall to the bottom and create silently......
And if there is no "accident", their kind of creation will always be persistent, even if it is broken today and delayed tomorrow, but as long as they have more than enough energy, they will not easily stop writing......
Because this is their philosophy, it is also their belief, and because of them, their love for literature has never diminished.
But sometimes, people's love and persistence for a thing will be touched by some phenomena that seem to others to be simply uncommendable, or no one pays attention to them at all...... Suddenly gone!
And this kind of touch I received did not come from life or have nothing to do with others, but from this website!
Those who know a little about "Demon Land" should also know: for big and small reasons, I have been writing the book "Demon Land" intermittently for more than a year after it was released and overhauled the whole book, and if there is no "accident", I will continue to write it......
But sometimes, these "surprises" always come unexpectedly......
According to my habits, every time I edit a manuscript, I always open the mobile client of the starting point of reading, go in to browse the various progress of the works I am concerned about, and by the way, I will simply check the data of "Demon Land", such as whether there are new comments, votes, clicks, etc......
But on April 2nd, when I was habitually browsing the data of my works, I found that the data of my works was ...... It's blocked.
Because a few days ago, when I checked the data, the "number of readers" of "Demon Land" was still 3,000, but on this day, the number plummeted by more than 400!
I don't care much about the data, so I didn't pay attention to the long-term lockdown of clicks on my work on this website. Because I know that there are book friends who are following my book, there are pen pals who are supporting my book, and because it is not contracted, these data are not important.
But this incident made my heart burn namelessly, especially after the incident, when I learned about the pen pals and book friends on the same station, because I often left messages in the comment area of "Demon Land" a day or two apart, expressing support and encouragement to me, but after being banned, I also felt cold when I was depressed......
On this website, it is common to brush data and advocate the wind, but among these works, how many of them will be blocked and controlled? But why are our works, which have no data and dismal results, always suffer from such unprovoked blows and inexplicable targets?
I don't know if it's the management that's doing the trick, but also because a certain company has acquired the starting point, and through this malicious means, it is subtly weakening the foundation of the starting point, so as to suppress and boycott us literary lovers who are not in line with business, but this kind of backside practice is really disgusting and indignant! If you don't want to see this kind of work, why don't you just say that the appearance of this style of work is strictly forbidden? And why engage in this kind of trick behind the scenes?
We chose you out of trust in you, but you have shattered our trust in you!
Publishing a book is the author's right, whether you can sign a contract or not is the author's ability, and whether you are allowed to sign a contract is your right, but this does not mean that you have become the author's top boss and are a head taller than the author!
Review and respect are the same, they are mutual, when you review the author, the author is also reviewing you, if you give the author due respect, the author will also give you the understanding you deserve, but if you don't treat the author well, I believe that there are not many authors who will be subservient and cater to the dead face, hot face and cold ass.
In my opinion, a writer is a writer, there is no such thing as a god or platinum, and if the writer has made outstanding contributions to a certain literature or culture, he should also be called a writer, rather than defiling the word literature by dividing it into unnecessary levels.
With all due respect, although the starting point is large, there are not necessarily many readers who wish to read the works of the great gods, and among these readers, how many people are willing to spend money to read the works of the great gods? If there were no writers at the bottom, how could this huge website be able to resist by relying on these so-called great gods alone?
When one day, the starting point is empty, and the god brand such as Duyuer can survive?
There will come a time to pay the price, maybe at this time, it will not be realized in this era, but if you are willing to do this and do not make changes, there will be a time to disintegrate!
My heart is cold, I won't stay any longer, I should look for other good stations, at least the crooked atmosphere of those niche stations is not as much as this online giant. If all the literary stations in the world are like this, then I should seal the pen......
Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the book friends and pen pals who have been paying attention to "Demon Land" for a long time.
Goodbye, no thanks.
