Hemingway won the Nobel Prize, but finally ended himself with a shotgun; Yukio Mishima frequently cut his abdomen; Zhang Ailing moved more than 180 times in her later years because she always felt that her sheets had lice, and finally had mental problems.
Not a cruel person, can not write a good work, this seems to be the law of this line.
Childhood is a tail that cannot be cut off if you want to, and it is a trace that cannot disappear on the cement floor - the Mai family.
The young Mai family, rebellious and left home
In 1978, a teenager in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province, had a fight with his classmates, and the teacher was also pulling a fight. The child who fights with the teenager insults his father as a "rightist" and a counter-revolutionary, and the teenager does not act until he is angry.
Unexpectedly, after the teenager's father came to school, he directly slapped the teenager viciously. The teenager's face was suddenly red and his ears were hot, and his eyes were misty with tears.
However, his father gave the teenager a slap without asking the reason, and his reckless behavior completely broke his sensitive and fragile heart. Since then, he has never called out to his father again.
This teenager is the Mai family.
When he was 17 years old, when the PLA Engineering College came to the village to enroll, the Mai family firmly grasped this "life-saving straw", when the Mai family participated in the college entrance examination to fill in the volunteers, he deliberately applied for the PLA Engineering and Technology College far away from home, just in time, an admissions officer of the PLA Engineering and Technology College came, but because the Mai family's score was slightly lower, it did not meet the enrollment requirements.
Just when the Mai family regretted missing the military academy, things took a turn for the better, the PEOPLE's Liberation Army Engineering and Technology College did not record enough places, and the Mai family was admitted.
"The 10 minutes of talking in the shadows under that tree completely changed my destiny and fulfilled my expectations, I wanted to leave this village, away from my father's expectations."
The Mai family left, still in a military vehicle, left as a soldier, fled his hometown without turning back, and fled his father, everything had to start again, this joy made him unforgettable, after graduating from college, the Mai family had the opportunity to transfer back to his hometown, but he chose to go farther away.
This walk is more than 20 years.
In more than 10 years of military life, the teenager had many opportunities to transfer back to his hometown, but he refused.
After transferring from the army, the Mai family chose to settle in Chengdu, where the Mai family worked silently in writing, polishing those words over and over again, and the devotion to the words gave him infinite strength, until one day, his works captured our hearts in a stunning way.
In 2002 he published his first novel, Decipherment, which was subsequently translated into 33 languages, becoming the largest collection of Chinese works in the world's libraries.

Return to your hometown and re-examine your life
Until the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the Mai family stood at the scene of the earthquake, watching the scene of human tragedy, seeing people holding their relatives and crying bitterly, the Mai family decided that he wanted to go home and go back to see his father.
When he got home, his father smoked a cigarette under the eaves, old and silent. When he bent down and said in a trembling voice, "Daddy, I'm back," my father looked up, lay back again, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" "
Father didn't recognize him anymore, he had Alzheimer's disease.
He had fantasized about meeting his father countless times, but he never thought that his father was sick and could no longer recognize him.
The trend of the times pushed the Mai family forward, he was extremely excited but it was difficult to return, and he had no time to take care of his father's critical illness.
In order to catch up with the draft, he became a "slave" to the text, missing the dying side of his father.
This blow made him start to re-examine his life. Why is it going so fast?
Five years of grinding a sword "Life Sea", Dong Qing and Gao Xiaosong shed tears after reading it
"I'm ashamed, I haven't published a new book in a long time, but I'm not lazy and I've always wanted to surpass myself."
This time, the Mai family took this new book and wanted to reconcile with their childhood and hometown. It was also the first time he mentioned his father in his own work.
The creation time span of "Life Sea" is particularly long, from the writing in 2014, to the completion of the first draft last year, and then to the final draft in early 2019, it took 5 years in between and finally released.
For him, Gao Xiaosong flew back from the United States overnight, and Dong Qing pushed away all the hosts, what magic did he have?
At the new book event meeting of "Life Sea Sea", Dong Qing, who had just returned from a business trip, pushed off all the programs and went to stand for the Mai family with this book alone! She said emotionally:
"If I use a poem to describe how I feel after reading "The Sea of Life", it is to look back at the place where it has always been, and there is no wind or rain or sunshine. Life sea sea, see all the ups and downs! When we love our father, we must also admit that no father is perfect. ”
And dong qing, who supported the Mai family, just made a phone call to Gao Xiaosong, and Gao Xiaosong rushed back from the United States overnight to attend the press conference. Gao Xiaosong read the book 2 times with tears and wrote down a comment:
"This book is a masterpiece that climbs to the next peak of literature in the depths of the heart, and I really can't help but cry after reading it."
Before the publication of "Life Sea Sea", he sent a text message to the Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, rarely wrote a recommended Mo Yan, wrote a recommendation for him and said with emotion:
"I read it twice, and the Mai family wrote very hard, with great effort, and eighteen martial arts were displayed. I was excited to see it, both lively and beautiful, dazzling, but also hidden in the doorway. ”
After 8 years of returning, under the meticulous craftsmanship, the content of the novel, the language of the idea and other aspects are based on the painstaking efforts of the Mai family.
Such a book will make you want to stop after reading it. When I first read it, I felt legendary, and when I read it again, I felt bitter, like a pot of spirits, the more I tasted it, the more mellow it was, as if the life written in the book was myself.
It is precisely because of the twists and turns of the Mai family's life experience that the novel bursts out of touching power in a unique way and full of content, and the sea of life is endless!
"Life is the sea of the sea", the Mai family tries to tell us to have a mind like the sea, as the book says:
