Text / Gao Jiaxin

As a platinum writer of the Reading Group and one of the representative figures of Chinese online writers, Liu Xiahua has been praised by the industry as one of the representative writers with great personal characteristics with his relaxed and humorous writing style, smooth and tense writing.

Liu Xiahua, whose real name is Huang Wei, was born in 1985 in Xinyang, Henan. At the age of 18, Yanagishita was admitted to the Chinese Department of Jiaozuo University. In 2005, Yanagishita graduated from college and went to Guangzhou to work with his girlfriend who fell in love with college. At that time, it was the rise of online literature, and Liu Xiahua, who loved literature, while working, planned to start writing online novels, and published his debut novel of youth romance novel "Mayor Qianjin Loves Me" under the online name of "Sitting Still", which attracted countless fans and became a representative work of romance novels in 2007.

In 2008, because his girlfriend decided to return to his hometown of Hainan to develop, Liu Xiahua also went to Hainan, settled in Haikou, and concentrated on online literature writing at home, successively creating novels such as "Genius Doctor", "Ultimate Teacher", "Hot King", "Reverse Scale" and other popular novels on the Internet.

In the 15 years since he became a professional writer, each of Yanagi's works has improved and changed, whether it is urban love themes, fantasy themes or urban fantasy genre novels, he can always attract readers with light-hearted and slightly tense stories.

Nowadays, Liu Xiahua has become a representative figure of urban online literature, and has been listed on the authoritative list of the industry for four times - the List of Online Writers of the Chinese Writers List, ranked in the top ten three times, and won many honors such as "Internet Writer of the Year" at the China Chinese Literature and Media Award.

In 2019, Liu Xiahua's novel "Hunting Fakes" was first published in the starting point Chinese Network, and after a month of launch, it received millions of recommended votes, the first booking on the shelves exceeded 10,000, and the continuous eight months received 3.9 million + recommendations, and won the winner award in the fourth realistic theme online literature essay contest. In 2021, the final edition of "Hunting Fakes" became a book published, and was selected as the annual work of the "Searchlight Book Critics Good Book List" and the "China Internet Literature Influence List: Online Novel Influence List" of Literature and Art Daily.

Don't pay attention to my looks

In the view of Yang Chen, editor-in-chief of Reading Group and searchlight judge, the key to "Hunting Fakes" to be loved by readers is that Liu Xiahua combines traditional Chinese cultural knowledge, antique industry insiders and suspense very well. The suspense element increases the interest of the novel, while the traditional culture increases the thickness of the novel.

Yanagishita: I hope that every work will not be repeated, and the story will be different

Yang Zao (left), a researcher at the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, presented Liu Xiahua with the "Top Ten Online Original Novels" award

At the award ceremony of the "Searchlight Book Critics' Good Book of the Year" award ceremony at the China Museum of Modern Literature, Yang, a judge and researcher at the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, awarded the medal of the annual work "Hunting Fakes" to Liu Xia waving in the center of the stage under the attention of hundreds of book fans at the award ceremony.

"Hunting Fakes" is an urban life emotional genre work with antique restoration as the theme, which takes into account the readability while integrating knowledge such as antique restoration and identification technology into it, leading readers into the world of antiques. The works have a certain scientific value, among which the description of the craftsmen who are determined to maintain the traditional art of the mainland is moving, which not only shows the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture, but also portrays the craftsman spirit of cultural relics restoration experts, which can be said to be a masterpiece with both feelings, interest and professionalism. ”

Li Weichao, executive editor and host of the "Modern Chinese Literature Research Series", was surprised to see Liu Xiahua, "You are so handsome. The witty Yanagishita smiled and responded, "Don't just pay attention to my appearance, but also pay attention to my talent." The book fans at the scene all laughed.

"Like your book friends, I can only focus on your talent, and it's hard to meet people today." So we know that online novel archaeology including tomb robbery is a traditional project, the reason why your novel was selected for today's list, everyone thinks that you have a lot of innovation in archaeological works, you will pay attention to people, pay attention to the spirit of craftsmen, do not know why you chose this angle to create? Host Li Weichao asked.

Liu Xiahua replied: "In the previous novel creation, traditional Chinese culture, poetry, kendo, antiques, calligraphy and painting and the like will be integrated into the novel, and recently I will watch some documentaries, such as "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City", "If National Treasures Can Talk" and "National Treasures". I hope that each book will be able to write about a group of people in a specific profession, and the next book may write about food and Chinese folklore stories. ”

From 2007 to the present, Yanagishita has written 12 novels. Starting from the debut novel "The Mayor Loves Me", the second novel "There is a girl growing up next door" determines the writing method of the urban ambiguous flow, the flow is not vulgar, it has won the love of readers, and also let him stand on the basis of literary creation, and then "Genius Doctor", "Hot King", "Fierce at the Same Table" and several other works have made him a "god-level figure of network writers", so that readers have known Liu Xiahua, and in one fell swoop, there are millions of huge readers.

Unlike many online fiction writers who write tens of thousands of words a day, Yanagi's writing speed is very slow, "about an hour can only write a few hundred words." Work three to four hours a day and write three or four thousand words if you're in a good shape. ”

Before writing each novel, Yanagishita will do a lot of preparatory work, make important content such as the background of the story, the detailed outline, the story structure, the character biography, etc., and then look at a large number of reference materials to determine the personality and career positioning of the characters.

"When you feel like you're within reach of those characters, you can really get involved in them and write more easily." I will make a setting every time I write a few chapters, mark out what I want to write in the next few chapters, set up contradictions and conflicts and what I want to present, and make the novel more logical. ”

The story behind the novel "The Hunt for Fakes"

Many of Yanagishita's works are often inspired by his joyful life experiences: after he was cured of his stomach for many years by an old man, he created "The Genius Doctor"; and after watching the cultural relics restoration and treasure hunting programs, he created "Hunting For Fakes".

Some fans of the book said that the book was "repairing the most precious cultural relics, hunting the most hidden fakes, breaking the most heart-wrenching suspense cases, and talking about the sweetest love." In "Hunting Fakes", Liu Xiahua breaks the convention, has both urban feelings, integrates Chinese national cultural elements, and intersperses the repair of cultural relics and hunting fakes in the main plot line of treasure hunting and suspense, rescues the fruits of traditional culture, highlights the beauty of Chinese cultural relics, and receives rave reviews in the circle of readers and cultural relics restoration.

With the popularity of the documentary "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City", the cultural relics conservators of the Forbidden City have become a popular "net red" profession, and more and more young people have learned about this unpopular profession through this documentary. The rare treasures have been restored to their original appearance through a pair of clever hands of cultural relics conservators.

Yanagisita is also a loyal audience for the documentary, "If you combine these ancient traditional Chinese cultural elements with a wonderful storyline, what kind of chemical reaction will occur?" Inspired by this, Yanagishita decided to write a novel based on the restoration of cultural relics.

"Hunting For Fakes" integrates the three themes of treasure restoration, suspenseful case solving and love, telling the story of Jiang Lai, a master of cultural relics restoration, and Lin Chuyi, a well-known female president of the antique auction industry, because of a broken rare porcelain, but it is expected that there is a feud between the two, and Jiang Lai's appearance is to seek revenge. In a game of good and evil with the mysterious smuggling leader "Bat", he found that "Bat" was inextricably linked to the Lin family... As the fog cleared, the "bat" was finally exposed to everyone.

The novel is divided into three parts: "Plum Wife Crane", "White Bi Qing fly" and "Bronze Human Head", in addition to describing the ecology of the antique industry, as well as the love story of young cultural relics restoration master Jiang Lai and Lin Chuyi, the female president of the antique auction house, it shows the identification, restoration and aesthetic details of many ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings, utensils, books, handicrafts, etc., and also reproduces the knowledge system of traditional cultural relics.

Yanagisawa believes that online novels can increase the interest of cultural relics, and cultural relics can increase the thickness of online novels. If the writer simply tells the ins and outs of a cultural relic through words, especially the professional technology of cultural relics identification and restoration, the reader may feel bored. If there are rich three-dimensional, vivid characters and wonderful storylines, coupled with some "sadistic" or sweet love stories, you may receive better results.

Compared with his previous works, Yanagishita said that he had two creative difficulties in "Hunting For Fakes", the first of which was realistic writing. Because it involves the expertise of antique restoration, Yanagishita has made up to 3 years of preliminary preparation for writing this work, "The most difficult thing about this novel is not the setting of the story structure and emotional conflict, but the antique identification and restoration knowledge must be professional, and the life state of the restorer must be real." ”

As a layman, it's actually hard to get into an unfamiliar field. "The threshold for cultural relics identification and restoration is very high, and it is not something that can be fabricated out of thin air." Therefore, collecting information became the first step taken by Yanagishita for this novel, and he read a large number of professional restoration and identification books, and found many restoration cases on the Internet.

Through the introduction of friends, Liu Xiahua became acquainted with teachers specializing in cultural relics restoration in the Palace Museum, the National Museum of China, the Shanghai Museum and other units, as well as some folk non-hereditary inheritors. By interviewing them for advice, we systematically and comprehensively understand the knowledge of antique identification and cultural relics restoration.

In order to more truly restore the working state of the restoration master, Liu Xiahua also exchanged and studied with the teachers of the Dunhuang Research Institute, listened to Mr. Zhao Shengliang explain the innovation and inheritance of Dunhuang art, and walked into the unopened area of Dunhuang to observe and interview the restoration skills and work processes of the restoration masters, and record their living conditions. These important direct experiences contributed to the creation of this novel.

In order to better show readers the profession of "cultural relics conservator", Yanagishita visited many museums to listen to the stories behind cultural relics and feel their interest. For example, in order to write the third volume of "Hunting Fakes" bronze human head, he specially flew to Chengdu to see the Jinsha Site Museum and the Sanxingdui Museum. In order to vividly depict the restoration of the murals, he went to Dunhuang and entered the unopened area of the Mogao Grottoes to observe the restoration masters repairing the murals. "Every time I write about a cultural relic, I want to be able to understand it up close, feel it, and that will make people feel more substitutionary."

The second creative difficulty is the relationship between the male and female protagonists, after the two know each other's true identity, one party comes for revenge, the other party knows the other party's purpose but has to bow to people, the relationship between the protagonist is complicated, and the plot is ups and downs.

"Hunting Forgery" has been rated by many fans as one of the novels with "the most potential for adaptation", and for film and television drama adaptations, Yanagishita said that a good novel writer is not necessarily a good screenwriter, and a good screenwriter is not necessarily a good novelist. Two professions are not the same system. "Adaptation is a systems engineering, and professional things have to be left to professional people. I hope that the screenwriter can maintain the character's characteristics and plot tension, and make extra points on the basis of the original. ”

If you like to write, be a writer

Yanagishita embarked on the path of online writing because he liked it.

He grew up in the countryside below Luoshan County, Henan Province, and wanted to read novels in a very luxurious way, sometimes needing to help people with farm work, carrying water, and cutting wheat in exchange for a book to read. "When I was young, I read all the books I could read at home, I had to read the medicine instructions, and I read the Bible over and over again."

At the age of 18, Liu Xiahua was admitted to the Chinese Department of Jiaozuo University, and just after entering the campus, he won the special prize of an essay contest, and under the recommendation of the head of the department, Xiong Zhichao, he read a large number of classic literary works, such as "Bell and Drum Tower", "Ordinary World", "Qin Cavity" and so on. These works were regarded by Yanagishita many years later as his "creative mentor".

After graduation, Yanagisawa went to Guangzhou with his college girlfriend to work and earn a living. Yanagi works as a copywriter at an advertising agency with a monthly salary of less than 3,000 yuan. Although there is no "unemployment as soon as he graduates", this "literary and artistic youth" who loves to read is confused about the future, so he has the desire to write, and holds the mentality of trying to put his conceived works on the Internet for serialization, thus entering the online literary circle as an online writer.

Because he liked the novel "The Day I Lived with a Flight Attendant", Yanagishita also followed the trend and wrote a book "The Mayor Loves Me" under the pseudonym of "Sitting In Trouble". Unexpectedly, as soon as this novel written in two months came out, it was quickly recognized by readers, and the publishing house also took a fancy to this novel and turned it into a paper publishing book.

"At that time, I had just graduated from college and was working as a planner at an advertising agency in Guangzhou. The salary is small, but the time is lots. Mixed eating and waiting to die, a confused. Xingye said that if a person does not have a dream, what is the difference between him and salted fish? At that time, I was a 'salted fish' that I didn't even dare to dream of. Because life is too hard, I pour all my emotions into reading novels, passing the time in novels, and finding comfort. One day I suddenly thought, everyone else can write, why can't I write? It just so happened that I liked the "Day I Lived with a Flight Attendant" on the Internet at that time, so I followed the trend and wrote a romance novel. Unexpectedly, as soon as the work came out, it was quickly recognized by readers, and I just wrote 20,000 words, and the editor called to say that the company was going to publish the novel. ”

The third novel is the 4.5 million-word Doctor Genius. Because he did not pay too much attention to his diet, Yanagishita suffered from a serious stomach problem. Later, after eating a traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by a Chinese medicine practitioner, the stomach disease slowly recovered. So I had the idea of writing a story of a TCM novel. He did a lot of homework to create the work, bought thousands of dollars of books, studied for months, and "after completing the four-and-a-half-word novel, he was almost half a doctor." ”

"Genius Doctor" tells the story of a genius who is proficient in medicine: Qin Luo, from an ancient family of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to retire from marriage, he came from Yangcheng to the bustling Yanjing. With a brilliant hand, he has healed countless patients. The eight major schools of medicine, such as the Typhoid School, the Cold Cool School, the Yishui School, the Cult School, the Soil Supplement School, the Ziyin School, the Wen Supplement School, and the Wen Disease School, each held their own absolute learning and gathered in Yanjing, Wen Wu first, medical no second, who is the orthodoxY of Chinese medicine?

This novel combines Chinese medicine and the city, although this way of writing is already an old routine, but Yanagishita has studied a lot of information, and the content of Chinese medicine is written in a picture, quite a sense of substitution. The most important thing is that this book promotes traditional culture such as Chinese medicine, with a sense of national pride, but also with a taste of respect for traditional culture, which has deeply infected many readers and changed the prejudice against true Chinese medicine.

"Close Bodyguard" tells the story of Ye Qiu, a young man from a mountain village, who came to the bustling city, became a personal bodyguard of a rich family under the introduction of a lewd old man, and lived in the legendary beauty apartment - blue apartment. With the unveiling of Ye Qiu's life, a great conspiracy also unfolded around Ye Qiu. The poor and white teenager has become the "Diamond King Old Fifth" with wealth and power, and what he gets is not only material enjoyment, but also a step-by-step killing opportunity.

The novel was inspired by Yanagishita's favorite movie "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai". "Jet Li acted so well, Zhong Liti was so sexy — because I liked that movie, I thought about writing a novel with bodyguards as my career line."

So the bodyguard and the beautiful woman became the new characters in Yanagisha's pen. Next up is the 3 million-word novel "The Hot King". This novel chooses the direction of urban entertainment, the protagonist is an all-round big star, and unique, but there is no problem in the entertainment industry. The novel continues Yanagi's writing style, with delicate techniques, light humor, a sense of logic, many famous quotes are used just right, and the plot is also very compact.

Another novel worth mentioning is the 2.7 million-word "Ultimate Teacher", this novel is a typical campus romance novel, Fang Yan was originally a descendant of the Taiji family, because he could not stand the bullying of a barbaric woman and ran away from the family, abandoning Wu Congwen to become a high School Chinese school teacher at a private school. Liu Xiahua chose Taiji, the point of traditional culture, and the image portrayal of the heroine Qin Yitian is very vivid, which makes people involuntarily like it. It was later adapted into a TV series, attracting many new readers to Yanagishita.

"The Hot King" is a story about the entertainment industry, the background is the entertainment industry, Tang Chongyuan is a beautiful teenager who came out of prison, but because of the grievances of generations of elders, he has become black and sharp. Because of the grudge, Tang Zhong and his sister were separated from each other since childhood. His sister is seriously ill, he took on this responsibility to enter the entertainment circle as a woman and join the "butterfly combination", he is the "king" of all attention, but he is more eager for the warmth of the family than anyone.

At that time, Yanagishita wanted to write an entertainment essay, and the editor immediately poured cold water on it, "Entertainment essay has never been on fire." Yanagishita replied, "Exactly, I'll be the first." I began to collect materials, browsing entertainment news on various websites every day, and buying autobiographies of Andy Lau Chow Yun Fat Chow Sing Chi and others to read. These entertainment stars are themselves protagonists of life, and the lives they experience are even more colorful than the protagonists of my novels. ”

Then there's the 2.7 million-word "Reverse Scales." This is an urban novel, the protagonist is born waste, because thunder split encountered the dragon god possession, inherited the dragon's ideas and abilities, scaled phantom claws, royal water dragon breath, clouds and rainfall, invincible flesh, since then idiots become geniuses, and finally defeated the demon king, in the Peacock Dynasty to marry a thousand degrees, become a human totem.

Next, Yanagishita transformed the style of "Fierce at the Same Table". The novel is less than 900,000 words long, and it's a novel about coming of age in love. "This is a novel of love sprinkled with sugar, a single heroine setting, a love story that warms each other and achieves each other. There is no vendetta, no fighting among the giants, no heaven and earth and omnipotence. Only entrepreneurship and love, write about men and women struggling for ideals, writing about men and women torturing each other and thinking about each other for love, and the love and hatred of ordinary people. If there is one thing in particular, it is the identity of the heroine's big star. ”

Finally, the 800,000-word "Hunting For Fakes", the protagonist is a legendary story of an antique restorer, who chooses to deal with fakes and compete with the hearts of the world. "I hope that when you see a book or see a certain sentence, you will reflect on it, or feel that your life status is now, or what kind of life I want to live, what I want, what I am holding on to, I hope that you can find this point." 」

"This should be the essence of all novels, some novels are just telling stories, some novels are reasoning. I personally hope to hide the truth in the novel, to show it in the dialogue of the characters or in a certain narration, so that the reader can find it for himself, and if he can't see it, he can read the story, and it is my greater honor to see it. ”

The latest work, "The Proud Everyday Life of the Dragon King", is being launched by reading group, which tells the story of a "Marvel-style" superhero who saves the world: the 200 million-year-old Proud Dragon King "Teenager" Ao Ye from the Dragon King, and the daily love story of the physical genius girl living in the earth's city. The novel combines contemporary science fiction elements, and also reinterprets the traditional Chinese cultural element "Dragon King" in the context of a modern campus, continuing the funny writing style of spitting and funny, and the people are new and interesting.

When Yanagishita talked about the style characteristics of "The Proud Everyday Life of the Dragon King", he summed it up with "relaxed, pleasant, and brain-opening". "The last book ,"The Hunt for Fakes" was written too tiredly, the multiple reversals of the plot, and the male and female protagonists competed in their acting skills when they knew each other's identities, which made me go bald! After The Hunt, I said to myself that I must write a lighthearted, less brain-burning novel. ”

"I hope that when you read your own works, you can be a little more relaxed and enjoyable. The core of comedy is tragedy, and I feel that my story has always been wrapped in the shell of comedy and writing a very tragic story. I hope that there is an inner expression in it, so that the reader can read this attitude of life that has a reflection or self-searching. ”

Online literature that keeps pace with the times

"The golden age of Chinese online literature has just begun. Today's online literature can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming. In each major category of subject matter, there are countless novel themes. When I first started writing, the city was the city, the fantasy was the fantasy, and the fairy was the fairy. Now the city will be divided into more detailed areas such as Reiki recovery, system flow, urban emotions, etc. ”

Today, Liu Xiahua has been writing and living in Hainan for more than ten years. At the beginning of 2008, the girlfriend returned to her hometown of Haikou to develop, and three months later, she could not help but feel the pain of lovesickness, and Liu Xia moved to Haikou to specialize in online literary creation.

As early as 1988, when Hainan established a special economic zone run by the provincial party committee, a number of outstanding mainland writers such as Han Shaogong had already come here to work and live, but Liu Xiahua found that there were only a few well-known online writers of his own age in Hainan. Leaning on a laptop, a coconut, a cup of coffee, Willow waved in a street café to write, sitting for an afternoon.

"There are countless people writing about every subject, but how do you stand out, you have to find the selling point of the market, your story must have its own core selling point, or where is the gap with similar works?" For example, we are now going to do IP development, do film and television, do games, do comics and the like, which are suitable for adaptation? Or which point is suitable for adaptation? All of this must be grasped well. I will consider some, this subject is what I want to write, and it is what the market needs. ”

Haikou is a beautiful city, when the writing is not smooth, Liu Xia waved to the beach to listen to the sound of the waves, to the theater to enjoy the wonderful Qiong opera, to the countryside to see the Li Jin coconut carving...

When Liu Xia waved, he wrote Hainan elements such as Jinghua City, Golden Dragon Road, Coconut Wind Sea Rhyme, and Bihai Silver Beach into the novel. Unexpectedly, some careful netizens left messages on the Internet, "Liu Da, are you in Hainan?" Some of these netizens are from Hainan locally, and some are from outside the province. Sharing the story with readers, he suddenly felt that he was not writing alone, and the network writers around him unconsciously increased, and friends got together to listen to the sound of the sea, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and talk about literature.

"Hainan has never lacked culture, but it has not been fully excavated before, just like gold hidden in weeds, and when you pick the grass on the surface, the gold is exposed." Hainan already has excellent writers such as Han Shaogong, Zhang Pincheng, Han Chuanzi, sun Haohui, and a number of online writers have settled in Hainan. ”

Wrote more than ten years of online novels, which also have hardships and sufferings. "I started writing my first novel, every day I thought about giving up, when my daughter Yanagi took my hand and wanted to catch shrimp, I wanted to code words; my wife took the trouble to develop a new dish that I wanted to taste while it was hot, and I wanted code words. Looking at their somewhat disappointed expressions, they will also try to convince themselves, or not? Don't write today? But as long as I remember the messages that readers have given me, saying that watching 'Yanagi' is the happiest moment of the day, what reason do I have to give up? Besides, if you give up now, if you want to return to this stage in the future, it will be very difficult to stand in this position. I had to persevere, for myself, for my family, and for the sake of readers who liked to read my novels. ”

A young man in the countryside, leaving his hometown to develop in a different place, bare-handedly breaking into society, earning fame and fortune by writing and typing, not only gaining social value recognition, but also economic personal success.

Today, Yanagishita lives in a villa by the sea, he loves the sea, facing the sea, spring blossoms. When I am tired of writing, I read novels, watch movies, and brush dramas. When he's fine, he'll go to the beach and drink coconut water and watch the scenery blow the sea breeze, which is a process that he enjoys a lot. When he first arrived in Haikou, he only hoped to have a house of his own, and now his seaside villa has a garden where he can plant some flowers and plants, and he writes novels here with peace of mind.

In 2017, liu xiahua's online novel "Hot King" was adapted into a web drama that officially began filming. As an urban emotional drama, the film crew filmed the whole process in Haikou.

Liu Xiahua believes that the audience of online literature is mainly young people, and online writers must understand the emotional life and state of young people at present, write in line with their state of mind and life, and promote mainstream values. Whether it is traditional literature or online literature, it is inseparable from excellent subject matter and true feelings, if you can't make readers resonate with it, how can you attract readers to read?

"Excellent online literary works should pay attention to life and the times, keep a close eye on the pulse of the times, do not detach from real life itself, and create some roles that young people like to hear." It is necessary to avoid blindly pursuing hot spots and popular themes, and it is even more necessary to avoid false big air. Whether it is online literature or traditional literature, the core is the expression of stories, emotions and self-awareness. ”

Every time he writes a book, Heagi has to do his pre-class homework. Although those obscure and difficult professional materials are very painful to read, "after reading it, I forgot to check it again, but when I saw the works I wrote, I still felt that all the efforts were worth it." I love history and science fiction. History makes the mind broad, and science fiction broadens the horizon. I want everyone to enjoy reading, because we can't determine the length of life, but we can determine its width. Every novel can make you live one more life. ”

It has been 15 years since I started serializing my first book online in 2007. Looking back on the early creative process, Yanagishita said that every writer does not want to repeat themselves. He hopes that each of his books will write a profession or write about a special group of people, around the profession or crowd to do people, think of stories, enrich emotional progression and upgrading, and each creation can open up a new world.

As readers become younger and younger, Yanagishita said that he will also adjust the direction of creation, "I will consciously study the market, but I will not cater to it, but integrate." Unsuccessful works, even if they cater to the market, are useless. In his view, every adjustment should be more faithful to the inner expression of the self, "Only by being loyal to yourself and sticking to it can we truly write the ideal good novel." ”

For future writing plans, Yanagisita revealed that he would like to write stories about food, hotels, or leading farmers in remote areas to build rural internet celebrity homestays, and will continue to write other stories based on traditional Chinese culture.

"The national is the world, and then I will continue to make more attempts on the creative road of combining urban fashion elements with representative elements of traditional Chinese culture to pass on the excellent culture of the Chinese nation to readers around the world."

As long as there is good inspiration, I am willing to try. I'm not afraid of hard work, and I'm not afraid of taking risks. I want to try to write more careers, and I hope to be able to create a record and become the most online writer in the writing profession. ”
