The Tenth Congress | Zhuo Muxian: creating flesh-and-blood characters and creating stories that resonate with readers

At the scene of the tenth congress, online writer Zhuo Muxian delivered the following testimonials:

It is a great honor to participate in the congress and listen to General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the opening ceremony.

"When culture is prosperous, the country is prosperous, and when culture is strong, the nation is strong." "The party and the people need you, trust you, thank you..."

General Secretary Xi Jinping is far-sighted, follows good examples, attaches so much importance to literature and art, and is full of respect, trust and love for us literary workers, which makes me deeply encouraged and inspired. Up to this moment, my mood is still very excited, and at the same time, I have a strong sense of responsibility and mission.

From the end of the meeting to the present, I have been thinking about how we online writers can achieve new deeds in shouzheng innovation, how can we tell Chinese stories well, and show the world a credible, lovely and respectable image of China.

I found that we online writers have our advantages in this regard, online literature has developed to today has been more than twenty years, not only in the country will always have hundreds of millions of readers, and just in the past five years, is spreading overseas with a strong momentum, with tens of millions of readers overseas, and even attract overseas authors to create on the overseas online literature platform of our Chinese companies, it can be said that we have taken a big step in "online literature going to sea".

Due to the differences in cultural traditions between the East and the West, themes such as fantasy, magic and fairy tales are more easily accepted by overseas readers. Therefore, I think that online writers engaged in the creation of this type of theme should continue to play with their whimsy, have the courage to innovate, expand their style and genre, and attract more overseas readers through stories that contain our traditional Chinese culture and Chinese elements.

And an online writer like me whose "brain hole" is not big enough, but has a certain social experience, should go deep into the grassroots, take root in the people, and engage in the creation of online articles on realistic themes.

In terms of realistic theme creation, we online writers have our advantages.

First of all, network literature came into being with the development of the Internet, especially mobile Internet technology, and it can be said that network literature is the literature of the times. We have caught up with the best times, we should breathe with the times and share the fate, use our way to write the times, praise the times, and make due contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Secondly, we online writers come from all walks of life in society, fiery real life, daily work, sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, is a natural rich mine we create.

We are in it, capturing its wonderful moments, creating flesh-and-blood characters, and creating grounded stories that resonate with readers. I am convinced that our continuous exploration and progress in the creation of online texts on realistic themes will surely promote the prosperity and development of literature in the new era.
