Find yourself and you will find the whole world that belongs to you

——Written to the children of Yuhong Junior High School

Li Jialu, |, Deputy Secretary-General of Weinan Youth Federation, Young Writer, Children's Drama Screenwriter, Director, Member of Shaanxi Writers Association

The children of the alma mater! I am Li Jialu from the eighth class of the first grade! Secretary Ren said that day that he wanted to ask me to write a few words for the children as an "outstanding alumnus". Time seemed to pull me back to that afternoon twenty years ago, when I was a little junior high school student. Now that I have graduated from my alma mater for almost twenty years, I have gone through high school, college, graduate school, and then work. It is a great honor to be able to say a few heartfelt words to you as a "distinguished alumnus":

You are a young man here, freshly dressed and angry, magnificent youth, with thousands of dreams in your heart just waiting for the clouds to sail, and then riding the wind and waves, let you gallop on the stage of life. I envy you, your future, with innumerable possibilities. I think of my youth, always looking forward to graduation, always with almost arrogant pride and ambition, and now, even if I am trained in this social torrent, I always remember that young self, as well as the most true original intention of each other, the most expensive dreams, and the courage to move forward in the youth fearless.

When I was a kid, I was a kid who loved to listen to stories. My little ears were infinitely satisfied by my parents, and I dreamed of my own childhood in many, many stories. Those stories nourished me like rain and dew, allowing me to thrive and grow happily. Later, as soon as I went to elementary school, I became the king of stories in the class. I have a surprisingly good memory, and my good eloquence combined with my excellent ability to repeat, and even my slight adaptations, made me popular with my elementary school classmates. When I first started learning to look at pictures and write words, I found that I had a sharper talent than my peers, and I could write more tortuous stories than others, with richer vocabulary, and appropriate expressions and vivid descriptions. The Chinese teacher began to pay attention to me, and when I first wrote a complete essay, I was read as a model by the Chinese teacher who was the class teacher at that time. Later, I became a "Fan Wen" pacesetter. Almost every time in the composition class, my articles were read as sample essays, and the classmates around me called me small writers. When I graduated from elementary school, I won the first prize in the National Essay Competition for Elementary School Students. This made me more determined to write, of course, that enthusiasm is more of a childlike fantasy and lack of life experience accumulation and mature writing techniques, so the dream of writing at that time was more like a seed, and the same as the beautiful experience brought by reading, quietly grew in the heart. I also became a reading maniac, reading books in the bed, reading books in the toilet, and reading books between classes, I think reading is the foundation for a child's future learning, and it is also an important guarantee for laying the foundation for writing.

When I was in junior high school, I entered Yuhong School. I became a "regular visitor" to the "Selected Compositions", and at that time, the class teacher, the Chinese teacher, paid special attention to me, and while I served as the representative of the language class, I also had a certain obsession with writing. And when the inspiration I get from reading is used to write, it is often written and spent. I also like books more and more, there is my little world in books, I wander happily in books, and obsessed with every word in a good story, I have a stronger desire to express myself while reading. Almost all the Chinese teachers in the school know me because I have articles in almost every issue of the extracurricular journal Selected Essays. Throughout my middle school years, I was even more hungry for reading, and I also entered a stage of early imitation, I imitated Shen Congwen's Lingxiu and Zhang Ailing's sentimentality. I imitated Duras's tone, Kundera's humor. I imitate.... These imitations seem so pretentious and dwarfed, but I keep writing, sometimes thinking of some only a few words, and I want to write these flashing golden sentences at once, and once I was crazy enough to write them in my various textbooks even if I was in class. In short, I seem to be expressing everything with my childish pen, and everything is still young at that time, and it seems to have a slight taste of being worried about the new words.

Later, I became a storyteller myself. My passion for writing supported me day after day, and I had the privilege of publishing my first novel, "Our Loneliness is a Garden," during my college years, which was also selected for the Xifenglie 100 Writers Collective Expedition Project of the Propaganda Department of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee. I am obsessed and obsessed with writing on the road that has no end. Nowadays, I have also been engaged in literary creation for a long time, and after entering the unit, I have also carried out a relatively diversified literary creation, and I have dabbled in stage plays, poetry, and novels. In 2015, I published the short story collection "Love Twelve Dreams", of which the novel "Chen A Blind" also won the Du Pengcheng Literature Award, making me the youngest winner in Weinan, thanks to the cultivation of all the teachers who have cultivated me, as well as the care of my predecessors on the road of literature. In addition, my theatrical works have also won many awards. But I have never felt that I am a writer, a screenwriter or anything, these labeled identities will dissolve the meaning of literature itself, I am a person who is tireless in literature, the eternal oncoming on the road of writing, for me is the original dream, has always insisted, is the hot hope that accompanies the rise and fall of the moon every day of my life. Writing is my sharp edge, my brilliance, so that I can seek meaning on the road of life, to write as a dream, to ride the horse, galloping on the road of life I will feel that I will not be in vain. The flower of literature dreams, sprouted from childhood, budded in middle school, to be released in college, and now, everything is still growing and experiencing, I look forward to my literary road one day blossoming, fragrant overflowing the garden. So, dear children, my classmates, never forget the original intention, if there is a dream, then let it do a little more brilliant, it will eventually be brilliant in your future!

I belong to people who are always not satisfied with their own state, in other words, I am quite capable of tossing and willing to toss. However, after graduating from university, I chose to work in the local cultural department of my hometown. During this period, I continued to study and study, and I was honored to be selected as a talent of the Shaanxi Provincial 100 Talents In Literature Creation and Art Program, and also entered the senior training class of the Writers Class of Northwest University, the Children's Drama Choreography and Directing Class of the National Arts Fund, etc. for related study and further study, and later obtained a master's degree. I think that a person's learning is a lifelong subject, from school graduation is only the beginning, and after entering the society, the state of learning can never be abandoned. My hometown is a thick soil, and the most authentic texts can be precipitated on this hot land, and there are countless moving stories worth writing. It provides me with nourishment, stability, and an unparalleled sense of well-being. I also insisted on giving a public lecture in my hometown for more than three years, "Writer's Mother Talks about Picture Books", hoping to bring more writing and reading enlightenment to children. Later, I was transferred to the Drama and Literature Department of the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Center. I have not left the thick land of Shaanxi, it has brought me too much nourishment, I just want to give back to this land with my efforts in my lifetime: that is, to write more and better works. In the same way, I am also envious of my classmates who have gone far and high, the sky is south and the sea, and there is a vast area of their own. But I have never regretted or regretted it: I feel that dreams shine everywhere. No matter where you are now, no matter where the future goes, be a person with a dream and send eternal light. As long as there is a flame burning inside, you are your own light.

Over the years of entering the society, I have found it difficult to be a person who does not complain. Everyone has a lot of problems and problems, as if there is always darkness in the world that hurts us. Children, all negative emotions are just the test of life, and every stage of life has problems that belong to that stage. Many things in our lives should be done in silence, and complaining, complaining blindly, is meaningless and empty. It only opened a blood basin and was powerless to engulf reality, but it could not produce a pair of powerful arms to give all kinds of ugliness a powerful response. Calmness can increase the thickness of a period of time. Especially in the middle school and college years, it is more necessary to quietly precipitate yourself. High school is the springboard to college, college is the accumulation of life, college is not the goal of high school, they are your real life path, life is too long, learn to precipitate yourself to find yourself. Youth can be crazy, it must be crazy, but madness does not mean emptiness and boredom, not crazy to play games, to desert, to be different, to watch soap operas. The coolest madness is that you find your own love in your heart and stick to it! Behind all the persistence, behind all the brilliance and achievements, you need to deal with the hardship and loneliness behind this alone and quietly. There is a popular saying that "behind every good person there is a time of silence." "The forbearance and loneliness, hard work and silence in this can only be experienced by yourself, and leave this time to your middle school and college days." After I graduated from high school, I began to think about my first novel, and then in college, I often wrote literature in the middle of the night, even if the people around me had classmates who were shopping for drama, but I was never influenced by others. Later, during college I published my first novel and became a contract writer. This is the first step in my dream. This 210,000-word book was carefully completed by me in my spare time during college, in fact, when a thing becomes your love, and you stick to it, when you finish it, you will find that it is not hard, but a kind of happiness, a kind of happiness that achieves yourself. I have always wanted to be a person who can tell stories and tell good stories, and the more I have this desire in my heart, the more I feel that I want to increase the thickness of my life. Dear children, in all quiet times, fighting negative emotions, cherishing all goodness, and giving everything in silence is a compulsory lesson in life. Every drop of sweat you put in today is watering the flowers of tomorrow.

In the days after graduating from college, I repeatedly listened to "the intersection of phoenix blossoms" and heard "The river of time enters the current, and finally we go separately." "I am a sensual person, and I feel a lot of emotions whenever I hear this song. I used to be someone I could easily say and never see again. At the moment of graduation, he wrote heavily in his notebook that "no matter how much you run everything, it is wrong." What you once loved, what you once resented, the moment you graduated really disappeared, when you looked up against the river of time, those pearls hidden in the gravel could only shine in the memory. After a few more years, you have finally become what you grew up like, and the once young and crazy can only sigh. The middle school era is the golden age of life, and it is also the most youthful years. It can be the fullest, most youthful and shining three years in a person's life, it can also be the most boring, most empty and most vain three years in a person's life, and it can also be the most stoic, silent and persistent three years in a person's life. No matter how you spend it, it's three years you'll never go back to. The flowers of youth are only bloomed once, I hope that you can achieve regretless youth at the moment of graduation, cherish the years, and can submit a satisfactory answer sheet to yourself, because in your life, you must only be responsible for yourself. I hope that you will always be young, always full of tears, always be a person who dreams and perseveres for it, and he will eventually let you find your own world!
