Xu Zechen believes that if you want to write a good life in the present, a very important path may be to turn back. He believes that "this retro is not a simple retro, nor is it a rule, a chapter body, we (should) find something for us to deal with the current life from the traditional literary narrative resources, folk narrative resources, and cultural resources." ”

"Squid who loves diving" shared: "We Chinese like family warmth, family feelings, handle things in a softer way, and tend to be more introverted." Therefore, I hope to gently construct the image of the protagonist through Oriental philosophy by extracting the typical personality of the individual and the people around me, the typical way of doing things for people. ”

In fact, his creation reflects the changes of the times and the changes of society. I think online literature is naturally the most suitable way to portray the times. ”
