Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, I would like to ask you a question for the vast number of readers. In today's society, people's cognitive laws are increasingly fragmented and fast food; at the same time, online text and short video platforms have also diverted a considerable number of high-quality cultural product followers. As a result, fewer and fewer people can calm down and read books every day. So why do you keep writing?
Xiao He: Writing, for me, is a deep-rooted obsession. Since I was a teenager, I have loved writing. It is no exaggeration to say that it has long since become an integral part of life. Words are weapons in the hands of writers, which can heal pain and resist nothingness; words are the traces of human beings in the world. I believe the charm and meaning of this trace is mysterious and timeless. Doctors dissect people's bodies, writers dissect people's souls. I will use this scalpel, which I have refined in words, to carefully cut off the tumor and rotten flesh, so that life will be filled with peace, health and happiness.

Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, you just mentioned that doctors dissect people's bodies, and writers dissect people's souls. Can you talk about it in conjunction with your work?
Xiao He: Of course this is possible. In the novels I have published so far, the two characters of doctor and writer can almost be said to be the most representative. They are characters that I can't write about no matter how much ink I use. Xi Muyang, a gynecological male doctor in "Yiyi", Ge Qingqing, a female obstetrician and gynecologist in "I want to live with you", and many doctor characters in "Rebirth 2019", Wang Qi, An Mutian, Bai Feng, etc. This seemingly coincidental arrangement, first of all, is because I have always had a deep reverence for the doctor community. When the new crown epidemic hit, it was a white figure that used flesh and blood to shield us from death. They wore sacred white coats and saved lives, like great statues. However, I would rather let the reader know the inner world of doctors. This may not even be dissected by the doctor himself. Their true selves are often hidden under uniform and unknowable. The writer's observation of human nature must be profound and not superficial. I want to uncover the true face of human nature. Only in this way can human beings continue to overcome their shortcomings and improve their ways. That's why I've always said that doctors treat physical ailments, and writers treat human soul-level wounds.

Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, the industry calls you a "cross-border beauty writer". What do you want to say about that?
Little Lotus: A little flattered. However, I think that frank humanity is to have the courage to accept judgment. Everyone labeled me as a crossover beauty writer, which is also an affirmation of my personal efforts. In my opinion, "crossover" is a step that every writer should try to take. It will bring us a richer life experience, which is very beneficial to creation. Outside of fiction, music is my second language. I have been learning violin from a famous teacher since I was a child, and I have been practicing diligently over the years. It's because I enjoy the pleasure of music. In addition, I have a lot of research on fashion design. Clothes are an important factor in people's external beauty, and they are also the external manifestations of personality, taste, cultivation, etc. In life, I am very concerned about these details. As for beautiful writers, I would like to say that women should not only pay attention to external beauty, but also pay more attention to the improvement of inner beauty, and recuperation and temperament are the keys to improving their image.

Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, how do you think about love and marriage?
XiaoHe: Love and marriage can coexist perfectly, and they are undoubtedly the happiest. But love is more like fresh cream cake, like mountain treasures and seafood, you may have been very addicted, but one day you will also get tired of it. After that, love is naturally transformed into family affection, that is, it becomes a home-cooked dish, which changes every day, but it never leaves its origin. Marriages with love will have as much charm as poetry and novels and movies. A marriage with love brings people happiness and reverie in the depths of their souls, and will make people feel happy. And marriages that compete purely in the midst of profit are exhausting and ultimately unbearable. Because no amount of benefit can be exchanged for the throbbing and joy in the depths of the soul. This is the difference between humans and inferior animals.
5PART
Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, you are a writer who focuses on writing about love, especially the feelings and gains and losses of women in love. Why?
Xiao He: The situation between women and men in love and marriage is particularly difficult. This is determined by the biological attributes of women themselves, as well as by the social environment. Although society is progressing and people's concepts are constantly being updated, the responsibility that traditional society has given women to "marry and teach their children, and be in the lord" has not changed. At the same time, women must have independent personalities, decent occupations and adequate economic income. Domestic and foreign trapped people abound. For example, the awakening in "Rebirth 2019". At the beginning of the marriage, she was very happy. However, her husband slept by her side and could not fully penetrate her heart. She is becoming more and more lonely, "I am a full-time wife who seems to be isolated from the world, I travel through my own world, pause, wander..." And Pan Yuan, who desperately wants to get rid of the "fertility machine" and find perfect love, can only truly comfort her with the fairy tale of "Da lin and Xiao Lin". Women's psychological needs are crudely reduced. I think it's an injustice. If one day, men could understand women as much as they understood themselves, there wouldn't be so many tragedies going on.
6PART
Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, some readers say that your depictions of men and women are very sexy. How do you define sexiness?
Xiaohe: In a more traditional social atmosphere, people are ashamed to say "sexy" bluntly, and they dare not express their love and hate freely. I'm different, I like to use words to delicately describe sexy men and women. For example, in Rebirth 2019, I write: "I got back up and changed into a bright fruit-green suspender pajama." I looked at my smooth skin, slender waist, and eyes as mysterious as the night. "Sexiness is a kind of spirit, the beauty of the body, and the beauty of human nature. It spreads in the eyes, breath, fantasy, and breath-like words. Sexy women are full of charm, seductive like peaches, and intoxicating like red wine. Such beauty is to use words to make everyone feel. So I'm against being veiled.

Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, a reader friend, said that it is often necessary to see fragments of classic literary works quoted in your works. How do you understand the role of classical literature in creation?
Xiaohe: Excellent literary works must not only have unlimited space for interpretation, but also have strong vitality. Only works that have both can become classics and be immortalized forever. I like to read a lot of books and like to improve myself in the process of reading excellent works. Many literary figures, such as Zhang Ailing, Duras, Tolstoy, etc., have had a certain influence on my creation. I have benefited greatly in terms of technique sculpting and theme refinement. Therefore, I think that literary creation should not be made behind closed doors, but should treat literary classics with a sincere attitude and open mind. There is poetry and bookishness in the belly, and this sentence is not wrong at all. Reading more and being good at reading helps to enhance a person's cultivation and temperament. We should embrace the classics and promote the classics.

Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, when it comes to literary creation, "non-fiction writing" is becoming more and more respected. In recent years, although your works have been constantly leapfrogged in terms of techniques and techniques, I feel that the content is still more realistic. So can you judge that your work is also "non-fiction writing"?
Xiao He: You asked this question very professionally. In contrast, fictional writing has a greater degree of freedom, and it can be empty and imaginative. The Traversal Body and the Magic Body take a fictitious route. I've also noticed that in recent years fiction writing has gradually given way to non-fiction writing. However, in terms of the meaning and value of literary works, I am more supportive of the latter. Literature, as an art form, must come from life, but it must be higher than life. Otherwise, literary works will become a messy pile of language symbols and become meaningless. Writers should carefully observe life, reflect deeply, and on this basis, rationally imagine and construct literary works. In terms of writing skills, don't stick to tradition, but be bold and innovative. For example, in Rebirth 2019, I practiced the writing technique of stream of consciousness, a seemingly divergent narrative that attempts to simulate the true inner nature of human nature. In short, in terms of content, I have always believed that to follow the basic principles of reflecting reality, you can't tell stories for the sake of stories; and skills can be bold, but they can't be out of place, don't be skilled for the sake of skill.
9PART
Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, I have noticed that the place name "Chunjiang City" often appears in your novels, is it based on Shanghai?
Xiao He: I think it should be said that "Chunjiang City" has certain Shanghai elements, but it cannot be said that it is completely based on Shanghai. Literary creation necessarily includes the process of creativity, and the degree cannot be defined by mathematical thinking. The reason why I call the place where the story takes place "Spring River" is that there is a specific connotation that I want to express. Spring is the beginning of the four seasons and the hope of opening a new life. It symbolizes the original rhythm of life, and it also symbolizes the vicissitudes of all things and the endless future. And all of this, such as a hundred rivers returning to the sea, flows endlessly. Of course, Shanghai is my foundation. Its combination of East and West, all-encompassing, delicate and bold... Every bit of it makes me sigh. It has become the cornerstone of my literary space.

Reporter: Teacher Xiaohe, can you reveal your next creative plan or development direction?
Xiao He: First of all, I just finished working on a full-length work, which has now entered the publishing stage. The novel is tentatively titled The Last Night at the Alice Hotel in London. This work has the shadow of the British literary masterpiece "Wuthering Heights", focusing on the growth process of Mr. Roger, the indian adopted son of a British aristocratic family, and paving the way for the story of a young Chinese female Chinese medicine doctor who went to Mr. Roger's mansion as a private doctor.
Mr. Roger is a character with a complex personality. Because he came from India to the strange Britain at the age of fifteen and grew up in British high society, in the process of gradually blending in, the brown-skinned him was inferior and conceited, passionate and full of doubts. The first time he married, he tasted the madness and sweetness of love for the first time, and the British aristocratic Lady Suzanne in his eyes was the goddess in his heart. But Suzanne never really loved him, but after being occasionally infatuated with him, she quickly left him. There was also a child left waiting to be fed. The trauma of his first marriage devastated him, and he began to indulge his emotions and play life, but he put a huge amount of energy into his career.
As his career grew to glory, his beloved adoptive mother suffered from throat cancer, and fortunately the operation was successful. Coupled with the arrival of the female Chinese medicine doctor Ellie, under the magical conditioning of Chinese medicine, the adoptive mother Mrs. Sophia gradually recovered. In the passage of the sun and the moon, Mr. Roger also has a subtle affection for the frank, independent, decisive and strong female Chinese medicine doctor. The female Chinese medicine doctor has been worried about her boyfriend Ding Wei in China. And Ding Wei has long been married and has children. Ding Wei was born in a humble place, graduated from a prestigious medical university, and met the female Chinese medicine doctor Ellie when she was a student, but she lost her again and again because of family and career reasons. And when he finally embarked on his career and was with Ellie, he unexpectedly met the beautiful novelist Angel and unexpectedly left an illegitimate child. He whirled and swayed between the three women, getting the desires and feelings he wanted.
The beautiful novelist Angel came to England and met the female Chinese medicine doctor Ellie. Angel discovers that they love one person in common and has his own secret plan. At this time, Mr. Roger's feelings for the female Chinese medicine doctor Ellie were quietly sublimated in the conflict, and he found that Ellie was a pure land in his heart after the paper drunken gold fan color dog horse. It was his original and ultimate innocent love and dreams. He fell in love with Ellie, unforgettable but deep in his heart.
The novelist Angel meets Professor York from Oxford University in England at a dinner in China. Professor York was originally an unmarried person because of repeated failures in marriage. But he was deeply impressed by Angel's talent and unique beauty. After the germination of love, Professor York also had fear and wandering, but in Angel's persistence and gentle tolerance, he gradually became a person who longed for marriage...
In short, the work will show the living conditions of several typical classes in contemporary Britain and China from multiple perspectives, thus emphasizing the beauty and eternity of love and calling for a healthy and peaceful humanistic environment. As for how it ends, you are welcome to read my new book. Again, I'm preparing a solo violin concert to continue the unfinished story with music. I hope you will support you.
