The Year of the Pig has passed and the Year of the Rat is here.
I don’t know if you still love me. Ever since I knew the Year of the Pig was over, I have been worried that my book friends would cruelly turn me into a roasted pig or a slaughtered pig for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Zhaizhu is not young anymore. He is an old man in his 40s. His meat is not as tender as that of Xinzhu. His meat is full of strength, toughness and sexiness.
He is an old pig who types a little slowly. His thinking can't keep up with his youth, and his typing speed is not as fast as before.
He had some inflammation around his shoulders and cervical spine, and his cervical spine was a little deformed because he had been hunched over the computer typing for a long time.
He is a middle-aged pig.
He quit smoking because he was worried that his body couldn't take it.
He wants to use his brightest brain to prepare a new book, "Linyuanxing".
He is still very ambitious, and he firmly believes that the greater his ambition, the greater his achievements will be (from "The Emperor"). He plans to write a fantasy world that has never been written by anyone in "Walking on the Abyss" (yes, that's what he wants to do, he doesn't want to rest on his laurels).
In this fantasy world, classical China has never experienced the Opium War, and classical Chinese culture has never experienced the invasion of foreign cultures. Zhaizhu calls this country Yuanshuo.
Yuanshuo was taken from the reign title of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was used to refer to this ancient country.
This fantasy world is full of incredible magical powers and magical weapons. But more importantly, productivity determines the social, economic, and political forms of this world. Therefore, after refining tools are applied to the construction of buildings, high-rise buildings that were unimaginable in the ancient feudal era can be built!
Moreover, this type of building is not like the current high-rise buildings that are straight up and down. Yuan Shuo's buildings are classical, such as Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower, and Tengwang Pavilion.
It has the grandeur and exquisiteness of a palace, the concept of carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and the bracket sets that contemporary architecture does not have. It has pillars, rafters, ridge beasts, and immortals riding cranes.
It is not a Western-style building, but it can rise from the ground and reach the sky, living with the gods!
It is surrounded by cloud bridges where people walk in the clouds. Giant beasts carrying small buildings on their backs also walk on the bridges in the clouds. People sitting in the small buildings can see the scenery in the sky.
This bridge is not an elevated bridge.
The bridge is like a long corridor in classical architecture, or like a bridge built over calm water in the water towns of Suzhou and Hangzhou, with a wide eaves that shelters from wind and rain, allowing vehicles to pass freely underneath.
It must also be in line with mechanics and aesthetics.
This fantasy world city also displays the beauty of classical culture.
The world imagined by Zhaizhu is experiencing invasion from foreign enemies and foreign cultures. It is undergoing a transformation. It has its own chronic diseases and indelible corruption.
Its internal classes have become solidified, and the path to advancement for ordinary people has become extremely slim, just like the slim chance for a spiritualist to become an immortal.
At this time, some people within it were conservative and stubborn, some were trying to change, some were radical, and there were also conspirators who were secretly planning something unexpected.
It was also at this time that Qiu Shuijing, a down-and-out teacher from Dongdu, walked to the uninhabited area of Tianshiyuan and met a little blind man, Su Yun, who was attending a class in the Fox Lecture Hall.
At this time, the curtain about this world was opened.
"when-"
The bell above Su Yun's head rang, and our story of walking on the edge of the abyss began, accompanying the protagonist as he walked on the edge of the abyss.
However, the pig has good ideas; the pig is too stupid.
When Zhaizhu uploaded the first chapter of Linyuanxing, he already had thirty or forty chapters saved. After one and a half months of unremitting efforts, he finally had only six chapters left!
That’s right, six chapters!
During this period, he deleted his drafts no less than ten times, deleting large amounts of text. He was not satisfied with the plot he had conceived or the wording of his writing, so he revised it tirelessly, striving for perfection.
But he was too stupid. His brain was not very smart even at middle age. Sometimes he would suffer from insomnia until the second half of the night. Suddenly, he would have a flash of inspiration and think of a wonderful plot. So, he would quietly turn on the computer in the winter night, put on his clothes, and write until dawn.
Sometimes he would sit helplessly in front of the computer, tightly pulling at his few hairs;
Sometimes he didn't shave for five or six days, and his face looked haggard;
He sometimes gets angry with his daughter-in-law because his train of thought is interrupted;
He was more withdrawn, turned off the sound of his phone and didn't want to respond to anyone's greetings. He became disgusted with WeChat and QQ.
Sometimes he was trembling with fear, worried that he would collapse in middle age, lying on the street and being trampled by newcomers, his body still twitching;
Sometimes he would desperately look through readers' messages, trying to understand their thoughts;
Sometimes he felt that he was really old, a middle-aged pig, and doubted his ability to create.
Honey.
This is how I have spent the past month and a half. I am just such a stay-at-home pig.
Linyuanxing, I want to write better, I want to write more deeply, I want to surpass myself, I want to break away from the influence of my past self.
I think too much.
Later, I figured it out.
I can surpass myself, but I don't have to escape from my former self.
I was myself before middle age, and I am still myself now.
I should break through and surpass my previous self instead of breaking away from it.
Suddenly I remembered that during the annual meeting of .asxs., there was a live media interview and the host asked me, what kind of book do you want to write about Lin Yuan Xing
I thought about it and answered, I want to write a novel in which fantasy shines into reality, and I want to write a novel in which reality shines into fantasy.
In this book, you can find the ancient times, the benevolent and ambitious people in history, the present, China and the world, and you and me.
It is fantasy, and it also has reality.
Yes, the Year of the Pig has passed, do you still love me
I still love you and I still love creating.
The Pig is middle-aged, losing hair, and feeling anxious, but his heart has not changed!
My love for creation has never changed!
Linyuanxing is not only a journey of Su Yun to the edge of the abyss and a long walk, but also a journey of Zhaizhu to the edge of the abyss!
Tonight, at 12:00 p.m., Lin Yuan Xing will be available on V.
The home pig is stupid, but it's time to live. Two chapters with more than 8,000 words will be updated at dawn today. There will be one chapter updated at noon and in the evening on the 1st. I am waiting for your arrival!!
When the new book is first put on the shelves, monthly tickets are crucial. I hope fellow Taoists will stay and support the middle-aged but unconvinced otaku.
On the shelves, charge!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!
Ps: Live broadcast at 4 o'clock, don't forget!
