In 2019, I participated in literary activities organized by the Zibo Writers Association. In the "village of heaven", Niu Ji'an, writers and critics from all over the country talk about literature and life. A writer told a story: on a snowy night, a man and a woman were trapped on the mountain, and there was a small courtyard on the mountain, and the courtyard had two rooms facing east and west, and men and women lived in one room each. Women toss and turn all night, lest men take advantage of the silence of the four fields, heavy snow, and the night is as dark as ink, trying to misbehave. However, the next day, when she woke up, the woman pushed open the door with force and saw that the snow in the courtyard was like a carpet, flat and spread out, and there was not a single footprint on the snow.
This story left a deep impression on me, and when I wrote "Golden Sentences", I naturally wrote it into the novel. "Golden Sentences" writes about a couple, because the husband does not say "golden sentences", the two quarrel, pity and finally reconcile. I arranged two good jobs for the protagonists in the novel, the husband is an active military man with superb martial arts, the wife is a female conductor, the train on duty travels through most of China, the occupation gives them a certain heroic color, and the story that happens to them is very exciting.
In the novel, I like that when my husband is unmarried, he spends a quiet night across from his wife's room. He fell in love with her at first sight, but always remained pure and respectful. I also like that my wife eventually found that her "golden sentences" were really nothing compared to the beauty of life. In this world, excellent quality is better than "golden sentences", which is a priceless treasure that should be cherished more.
Advocating heroes and conveying "love and warmth" is what I have tried to express in my novel creation in recent years. I have created some characters in the novel, they all have a little heroism, but they are not perfect, they have such shortcomings, such as like drinking, such as cowardly personality, like the husband in "Golden Sentences", temperamental, always bad speech, the wife is temperamental, like to play small, but the good qualities hidden in them, at a specific time, shine, these shortcomings are covered up tightly.
There is no perfect person in life, and the characters in the novel naturally cannot be perfect. But he or she cannot have moral hard wounds, no matter what environment he is in, he must have a good heart and be full of love and enthusiasm for life.

Counting, my writing time is not short, from 1993 in shandong literature published in the first novel to now nearly thirty years. For such a long time, I have only written one novel, and the rest of the time I have been writing short stories. That novel was very difficult to write, and after it was published, some friends said yes and some friends said bad. I really liked it, and putting it in the bookcase was a real achievement. Sometimes I would "pretend" to give it away so that people would know that I was a "novelist". Those short stories are published in magazines, and for each time they are published, the magazine will send two samples, and they are also placed in the bookcase, but they cannot be taken out like long novels and asked for "Yazheng".
The love of literature is one of my longest-lasting hobbies. Why do you love it so much? I sometimes think about this. In fact, many times, literary creation is not a happy thing. I work for a company, and I have to work seriously during the day so that my colleagues don't think that I am obsessed with "novels" and delay my work. Not "tiring literature" because of my actions is also something I try to do. In the hearts of many people, literature is very beautiful, and if women love literature, it is the icing on the cake. What I want to do is to make people really think that literature is beautiful, and they are willing to communicate and interact with people who like literary creation.
However, I have to admit that liking literature does affect my life, such as working during the day and writing at night, which is a relatively hard thing. As I grew older, my physical strength and energy declined, and I often stayed up for an evening and could not recover for a week. If you write a novella, the whole person is in a trance until the work is completed. Of course, because of writing novels, not doing housework, not communicating with husbands and children, it is more often a thing. I remember when my daughter was a child, she often asked me: "Who is more important to me and the novel?" "Nature is important to children, but when writing is devoted, it is often important to pay attention to novels and ignore children.
Fortunately, my family understood very well, and they never demanded me of the standard of "good wife and mother", let alone treated me as a "writer". They don't read my novels or take my creations seriously. Don't praise when you write well, and don't criticize when you write badly. It was only when I spat out a typo that I joked: "Or the people who are composing the association, how can they say the typo?" ”
Such a relaxed family atmosphere and writing environment allow me to free my hands and feet to conceive the plot and shape the characters, and never have a heavy psychological burden for what to write, what not to write, and what kind of writing purpose to achieve.
In this way, writing a novel seems like an easy task.

What the writer is interested in, the state of the work will be presented. Life is rich, complex and complex, not only love, warmth and happiness, but also pain, sadness and separation. Especially in the face of life helplessness such as life, old age, illness and death, our hearts are full of sadness and sorrow. However, rather than sadness and sadness, I would rather pay attention to the things that warm and comfort our hearts.
Where do those things come from? Not my personal experience. Writers really don't have the ability, energy, and conditions to experience the variety and variety of life. So when someone pressed the story of the novel onto me, I couldn't help but laugh.
Since it is not a personal experience, where does the story in the novel come from? From what others have said.
Perhaps because I live in Pu Songling's hometown, I especially like to listen to people tell stories. Sometimes, I would take a notebook and write down those stories. When you don't have a notebook with you, write them down on your phone. These stories come from the mouths of the people, from all directions, weather, and all-encompassing. They swirled, tangled, rooted, sprouted in my head, and one day, usually around 10 p.m., broke through the ground and grew into a novel.
A colleague of mine, who used to be a train driver, used to tell me about the experience of driving a train. One day, I asked him, "When I first went to work, why did I choose to drive a train?" He said, "You don't know, when a steam locomotive passes by the railway line, when the whistle is sounded and the train makes an earth-shattering sound, the driver of the train is a hero." This passage deeply touched me. I found a lot of videos on the Internet about steam locomotives whizzing by on the railway line, and the grandeur was really shocking. The driver of the train was half out of the locomotive, and the white steam above his head was straight into the sky. They're really like heroes.
However, anyone familiar with a train driver knows that it is a hard job. To become a steam locomotive driver, we must first start from the furnace, which is the worker who fills the hearth of the locomotive, and the railway department has strict requirements for the action, time and quantity of coal filling. For example, one iron and eighty pounds of coal should be thrown in fourteen minutes. Only by meeting this standard can the exam be passed. When the steam locomotive climbs the slope, the furnace must desperately fill the coal, if the fire is not strong, the steam is insufficient, the train not only can not climb the slope, but also may go backwards. Train drivers are very ordinary workers, with such shortcomings as drinking a little wine when leaving work, carrying one or two dirty words when talking, and even using fists to solve problems when conflicts and disputes occur. But because of the experiences and stories of my colleagues, I feel the special color and glory that my profession gives them. It was because of this emotion that I wrote several novels related to train drivers. Those little people who drive the train, who look a little rough or cowardly, stand up at the crucial moment and show the purest beauty and the most shining human brilliance.

What you like, you will become what kind of person. The subject matter and content of writing are very easy to affect the emotions and lives of writers. This seems to be a strange circle. The writer is interested in a certain subject, plunges down, digs deeply, and then the subject affects or manipulates the writer, making him deeply trapped in it and difficult to extricate himself. This is true for writers, and it is also true for readers.
In recent days, I have been reading the japanese writer Jiro Asada's short story collection "RailwayMan", which contains 8 short stories by Jiro Asada, "RailwayMan", "Love Letter", "In Kakusho", "Obonkai" and so on. I almost read one article and cried, and I cried several times when I read "Love Letters". After reading it, after crying, the mood is still difficult to calm down for a long time. According to my own analysis, most of the works that brought me to tears were related to the lack of love in childhood and the hardships of life in my youth. This was about the same as a certain breath in my body, which resonated with my soul, so I was sad for a long time. However, can this sadness last? Nature is not allowed, and if we are always indulging in sorrow, then we may be greeted by the end of the road.
Eventually, man must learn to reconcile with himself, to shake hands with the past; to liberate and redeem himself; to love without always hating. In order to do this, in addition to not chewing on the pain of the past repeatedly, not to uncover the scars of the past over and over again, to taste and observe carefully, but also to contact more sunshine, more contact with love, more contact with beauty, more contact with kindness. What's more, there is beauty, love, and kindness in life.
Someone once said to me: "To be a writer, you must either die of weeping blood or die of tears, otherwise you will not become a famous writer." I listened, and I was so frightened that "the flowers were discolored." How good life is, how good it is to be alive. If I had to choose between being an ordinary woman or a miserable writer, I would naturally choose "to be an ordinary woman" without hesitation. ”
Grateful for life, embracing love and beauty, I hope that people who read my novels will have such experiences and feelings.
