Why Write Fiction?
Lao Hong, 34 years old, a native of Mianzhu, Sichuan, now uses the pen name Hong Haotian, on Baidu Literature Zongheng Chinese Network.
High school Chinese, in the second and third years of high school, he was the head and editor of the school's literature club, the liberal arts are very good, and the English and mathematics are poor, so he did not take the college entrance examination, and the entrance examination was all for talents to pass and get a graduation certificate.
Before graduating from high school, in 98, my father, who was a contract foreman, bought a storefront for me, plus a house of more than 200 square meters, and started a business in the town.
But I didn't want to do business at the time, and when I was over 18 years old, I went to a chemical factory to recruit sales clerks, and a few days later I was squeezed.
After that, I thought about starting a business, but I built more than a month of roads, and I wanted to learn masonry, then work as a contractor, and finally become a construction worker, but I still didn't do it.
Now let's talk about business: I learned to ride a motorcycle in my sophomore year of high school.
In 1998, when I started as a grocery store, I pedaled a tricycle to Shifang Market, 50 kilometers away, and this experience was more than two years, and the number of people dropped from more than 90 pounds to more than 80 pounds.
In the summer, when I got up at five o'clock in the morning, I pedaled my tricycle from the town to Shifang Market, and it was only seven o'clock, when the bosses opened their doors.
But it was miserable to come back, from 1 o'clock in the summer, staring at more than 300 catties of goods, when I came back, I passed the long slope of the Shiting River, and the steep slope of the Sheshui River, I had several times even people and cars retreated more than a dozen steps, and finally came back with the greatest courage.
A lot of times it's already 8 or 9 o'clock when I come back.
At that time, I was already trying to engage in small wholesale, that is, rural wholesale. Later, I bought the fire triround.
When I was 20 years old, I found a partner, but at the age of 22, because the woman had hepatitis B, I treated her for a few thousand, and it took a few months, but it didn't work, and finally they proposed to divide and give them 5,000, which wasted more than a year and spent more than 20,000 yuan.
After that, I found another object, but it wasn't really counted, because Lao Hong hadn't even held hands a few times, but he spent more than 10,000 yuan in a few months.
Later, it was the current wife. Got married in a flash, got a marriage certificate after knowing each other for less than 20 days, and then got married more than a month later.
I don't want to say that I have been wronged in my life, but I am really wronged!
In the past, when I was in high school, I was one of the bosses of the school, and because of my talent, I liked at least three of my beauties. Let's not talk about the ugly ones.
After counting, I have been in business for five years until I got married.
At that time, it was already a wholesale department, but there was really no money, and the money for marriage, including having children, was all paid by my father.
It should be noted here that although the store was able to make money at that time, the price was low at that time, so the profit was also thin.
In addition, my mother likes to play big cards, and the money I use to find a partner, which means that I don't make any money at all.
In the past few years, my father has invested more than 20,000 yuan.
After getting married, I gradually didn't have much expenses, and my father invested 50,000 yuan at one time, so the business expanded a lot all of a sudden.
But before 2008, there was still no spare money in the store, and I didn't know how the business was doing.
Business was good at the time, but it wasn't profitable!
In addition, my mother spends money like water, and playing cards is a bit big. (20, 40, 80, 160, plus floating, dang, draft, etc.)
In the 2008 earthquake, fortunately the house was fine, and the store lost several thousand.
In 2008, I also went to Neijiang from July to September to work as a bulk liquor agent.
Although I didn't make any money, I learned some experience in doing business and knew how to make money!
After coming back, I happened to encounter reconstruction, and it was very good to engage in food wholesale business, so in the summer of 2010, I earned more than 200,000 yuan, which is much less than others, but it is much more than before.
In 2008, before the earthquake, I liked to play stickers, and someone asked me to write novels, but I was afraid of being cheated, and my business was good, so I didn't write it.
In the second half of 2010, business slowly deteriorated, so I bought a van and started a county-level milk wholesale, but it failed for many reasons.
I heard that I made money by speculating in stocks, so I went to speculate in stocks, but I lost more than 80,000 yuan in more than a year;
In 2012, my father-in-law's relatives in Guizhou said that the wine bottle was selling well and went to Renhuai, Guizhou, which is Moutai.
The loss of more than 20,000 yuan is not to mention that there are still more than 60,000 yuan of payment that have not been returned, and there may be a loss of more than 20,000 yuan;
After coming back in December, all thoughts were lost, I felt that I was very useless, and I once thought about suicide, but I thought of leaving a book before committing suicide, which was considered a suicide note, so I wrote "Global Han"
As soon as I started writing and playing, I thought I wanted to express the sullenness in my heart, and then someone called me to sign a contract, but I didn't sign it.
Later, someone said that it was okay to write, I went to the novel reading network to sign a contract, using the pen name of Hongba Tianxia, but more than 300,000 words have not been put on the shelves, saying that the collection is not enough, and I finally went to Baidu Duoku.
The first time I knew that as long as I wrote a book, I had full attendance, and I used the pen name Hong Batian at the beginning, and I wrote "Yan Xiu Tiandi" in June 13, 1.4 million words, and I knew the first noble person in my life - broken wounds!
My wife heard that I had money to write books, so I bought a laptop, and in August, I basically wrote books, but sometimes I still have to deliver and visit the store.
"Yan Xiu Tiandi" only earned more than 10,000 yuan, including full attendance, and when Yan Xiu Tiandi finished writing and did not finish it, I started to write the urban "Yan Jiao Dragon Desire", this time using my ID card, pen name Hong Haotian.
The book was written 970,000 words, it took three months, and only 830,000 words were posted on Baidu Duoku, during which I experienced a lot of things, and I didn't have a homepage recommendation, and I earned more than 20,000 yuan.
Because of this, my parents supported me in writing a book!
In the past, I even wanted to drop my notebook! And both of them went back to their hometowns, and basically didn't come!
Now they basically eat at the shop at noon, my wife and I go to Mianzhu to play, and my mother has to guard the door.
Although I only earned more than 30,000 yuan, I saw a new way out.
Now I still follow the shadow of the reflection to edit and compile, write a book in the Baidu wireless group, buy out at the price of cabbage, and send it in the vertical and horizontal.
Of course, I'm not without money, after all, I've been in business for 17 years, and I still have hundreds of thousands of cash.
As for my father-in-law, since 2008, he has been a popular man, and there are millions.
But if I hadn't written a book, I would have committed suicide by now!
What I said is true, because my life is very tragic, and there are many things that cannot be said here, so if I hadn't written a book, I would have really committed suicide!
The above is Lao Hong's post on the Dragon's Sky Forum some time ago, but it is also Lao Hong's heart.
Now I send it out to my relatives, just to let my relatives know Lao Hong, why do you want to write a book, and what is your attitude towards writing a book?
That is the determination to never give up with affection, with heart, without force majeure!
