Almost crossing the threshold of sixty, recall the past comings and goings, some things, it is worth writing down.
For example, I actually wrote a novel, this novel is highly rated on the Internet, although it has been sold for a while, but it is not publicized enough, many people still do not know. It can be said that this book has changed many people's views on life, and in 2014, this book also received a high-standard honor, and was rated as the first excellent reading recommended to the elderly in the country by the former State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television and the Office of the National Committee on Aging. It is said that at that time, only Huacheng Publishing House in Guangdong Province won this award. The book was also published at the Zhonghua Bookstore in Hong Kong, and it is said that an old Chinese lady in Canada bought dozens of copies at once and wanted to bring them back to Canada to send her friends.
The title of the book is "Live to Understand", which is a bit cheesy, but the content of the book is not bad at all. It is a pictured philosophical novel that deals with happiness, dedication, nobility, villains, dreams, selfishness, joy, looks, one-night stands, bosses and subordinates, and other problems that life may encounter. The novel tells the story of the practice adventure of Wang Laoshun, a successful urban man, who met the god of wisdom during his practice, listened to the god's teachings and was greatly inspired, resolutely went down the mountain, and began to preach and teach. It is not only literature, but like Nietzsche's Zarathustra, it is a philosophical novel.
All of this mentioned above is not the key, the key is the following story.
At a seminar around the beginning of 2012, I met Ms. Yang Ying, a famous beautiful writer in Xi'an and vice chairman of the Xi'an Writers Association, whom I had not seen for a long time. Old friends meet each other, naturally talk a lot. I asked her what she had been busy with lately? She said she was writing a new novel. I jokingly asked, "Is the novel easy to write?" She also jokingly replied, "You can try it!" ”
When I met someone who liked to take jokes seriously, I immediately replied: Try it.
It is estimated that Yang Ying also took my words as a joke at that time, and a year and a half later, when guangdong Huacheng Publishing House invited her to participate in the new book meeting, I am afraid that she did not expect that a joke actually gave birth to a philosophical novel.
If I talk about nobles, in the creation of novels, Yang Ying is my nobleman. If it weren't for her "radical" jokes, I wouldn't believe it would have killed me, and I would have written novels.
Therefore, in life, we must be bold and try. Put more pressure on yourself, don't force yourself, how can you know if you are excellent or not?
Don't dare to try, how can it be successful!
Thank you for reading and forwarding :) Happy May Day!
