I like reading novels since I was a child, whether it is literary masterpieces or red articles from Jinjiang.
Those bizarre worlds are full of infinite attraction to me. But the more I read, the more I feel that China literature can't escape the fate of anticlimactic.
Four classic novels, the front is wonderful and the back is dull. It is also possible that the last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions are wonderful, but there is no such possibility after all.
The legendary swordsman is indeed a wonderful martial arts novel, but after reading it as a child, I can't accept its ending. Yue Buqun worked so hard to become the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect, but somehow she died in Yilin's hands, and that woman Ning Zhong also committed suicide. Ren Woxing, an earth-shattering figure, died after the overall situation was decided. How did such a wonderful beginning and development end with such an abrupt and dull story?
It was not until I started writing novels myself that I realized that all efforts and enthusiasm were the beginning.
The longer it takes, the more you write. Slowly, you will lose patience, feel bored, and feel that you have forgotten the development of the previous story and the established fate of the characters. Then you hope to finish writing this novel as soon as possible and look forward to the next new beginning.
The more you grow up, the more you know and the more you persist. It's really the hardest thing in the world.

There was a girl in the college class who was quite fat when she entered the university as a freshman. I heard that she weighs 130 kg.
I have heard many stories about her losing weight in recent years.
I heard that she only eats one meal a day, and that meal is an egg, so I haven't seen her in the canteen except for breakfast.
I heard that when people in her dormitory are cooking in the dormitory, she always runs out of the dormitory alone, just for fear that she can't help it.
It is said that she goes running in the playground every night, running along the outermost side and carrying heavy sandbags, rain or shine.
When I heard that she only eats one egg a day, I really felt unbelievable. How does a person eat an egg a day? How can she not be tempted by so many delicious foods? Does she have no desire to eat? Isn't she hungry?
I can't understand or believe it.
Then, I heard that because I didn't eat for a long time, I fell to the ground when I walked, and because I didn't eat for a long time, my period was abnormal.
She is human, of course she will be hungry, and of course she will want to eat delicious food sometimes. When she can't help it, she will buy a small bag of potato chips and eat them slowly.
Under such circumstances, she didn't give up, just persisted for several years.
Her way of losing weight is too extreme, I don't agree. But I admire her perseverance, because I can't eat for a day. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. How did a girl as beautiful as flowers and jade struggle with food for four years? I really can't imagine.
And the result? Of course she lost weight.
After all, God never fails anyone who tries to persist.

There is also a girl in the college class, quiet and quiet, super super college bully.
Four years in college, no kidding, whether it is a normal school day or a weekend, her life is very regular.
Usually, she is serious in class. When there are no classes or weekends, she goes to the library at eight o'clock in the morning, has lunch in the canteen at noon, takes a nap, and arrives at the library at two o'clock in the afternoon on time. In the evening, when everyone is playing in the dormitory, she eats dinner, rests in the dormitory and goes to the library on time until ten o'clock in the evening.
I can see her every time I go to the library. As far as I can remember, there is not a time when I haven't seen her.
Most importantly, when she goes to the library, she always reads professional books. After studying for four years, she is still so serious.
I don't think I've ever seen her go out to play or have any leisure activities. A girl at the best age stays in the library all day, keeping company with all kinds of brick books of accountants.
I don't understand it and I don't like it. I always feel that such people are too boring.
However, God will not mistreat anyone.
Her hard work and persistence have enabled her to get a high scholarship every year, and all of us feel that she is a particularly down-to-earth person and feel at ease in everything she does.
Now I suddenly understand how amazing her persistence is.
Many times, walking on the way to and from work, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings, I think: in these rooms, there should be people who are determined to change themselves every day. Students are determined to study hard, girls are determined to lose weight, and boys are determined to quit smoking and drinking, but some people can't do it every day.
Then I felt more and more that it was easy to make up my mind, but it was difficult to stick to it.

Soldiers' assault is my favorite military movie. I can't remember how many times I watched it, but none of them.
At first, when I saw Xu Sanduo of Class Five building a road, I didn't feel anything special. As the years passed, I didn't understand the taste until I looked at it the other way around.
Class five on the grassland is an extremely desperate environment, without any hope, desolation and a few comrades who have lost their morale.
Without any requirements and supervision, Xu Sanduo still sets high standards for herself and does everything seriously.
Home economics, training, road construction.
Those idle comrades hate him because his seriousness makes those who are comfortable and not serious uncomfortable.
Yes, no matter where a person is, it is easy to be assimilated by the environment, so that he can adapt safely and not appear unsociable.
But the old horse later said, "He built this road. It was built by one person and demolished by four people. In this way, this road was repaired by him. "
With a dull and stupid spirit, Xu Sanduo built a road by himself.
Seeing this, I asked myself, if everything seems absurd and meaningless, will you continue to insist?
To tell the truth, I have been writing "Fat Meow Telling Stories" on WeChat official account 20171.3 for two years. In the past two years, there have been hundreds of fans, and there are dozens of readings every time. Many of them are classmates, friends and relatives around them, which is equivalent to reading with water.
If it were you, would you insist?
I'll answer for you, you won't!
Every writer wants more people to see his words. And if this basic requirement can't be met, what is the point of writing?
Therefore, if you can't insist, it seems understandable.
I can assure you that I have written every article carefully. I haven't perfunctory my readers once. I spent a lot of time. However, the amount of reading in the end is not high, and sometimes it is so low that you will begin to doubt life.
At that time, I often thought: Is it my bad writing? Is it because I have no talent for writing? Is my article not attractive enough? Just dozens of people, I don't write a fart, I can't write! I spend my time on a part-time job, so I can have more time to make money.
Really, such an idea will appear in my mind almost every month. I often doubt my writing ability. I often want to give up the official account of WeChat, a fat meow storyteller. I often feel depressed. I'm often unhappy because of this, and I'm usually not unhappy.
I asked myself: if I write it down, what is it for? Can I wait until more people see my article?
From a very young age, we knew: there is no accumulation, no miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be a river. Everyone wants to take Wan Li Road and become a river and sea. However, when small steps and streams are scattered for 365 days a year, it becomes boring repetition day after day, and thousands of miles of rivers and seas can't be seen at all, without hope and light, all ambitions will become ridiculous.
But I just want to stick to it, although sometimes I don't even know what I am sticking to.
I just think life needs a little persistence. If I give up the first time, then my life may be used to giving up after knowing the difficulties. I may choose to give up many things in the future, not just writing.
So I stuck to it for this little reason.

I've heard too many complaints.
"I want to learn guitar, but I have no time."
You have no time to fart. You go home from work every day to play with your mobile phone until the early hours of the morning, but the guitar you bought is quietly in the corner, and you never touch it.
"I want to write an article, but few people read it."
Yes, you want to write an article. With your enthusiasm, you opened an official WeChat account, which was widely publicized in the circle of friends and QQ space, but you didn't write a few articles. You see few people watching, you see that the number of fans has not increased, you see few people commenting, and you are discouraged. Then you stopped talking about writing articles in the circle of friends.
You still want to learn to dance, you still want to learn to draw, and you still want to be a designer. However, you will never pay attention to these things for more than two months.
Then you say, "God is unfair, and what I want to do will never succeed."
However, what makes you successful? You have never insisted on anything for your dream, and you have never paid anything. What makes you worthy of success?
Even though my article is not necessarily good, I have been writing for two years, and even before that, I started writing novels for so many years.

Want and get, there is a middle.
It makes sense for TV series to set Xu Sanduo as a fool.
He made me understand that no matter how stupid you are, with perseverance and action, you can still go where most people can't.
Xu Sanduo said: Living well means doing meaningful things, and doing meaningful things means living well. "
Clubs, tattoos, pierced ears and getting drunk all look cool, but in fact, it's not difficult to do these things at all. As long as you are willing to do it, you can do it soon.
What is cooler should be things that are not easy to do, such as reading, exercising and loving someone with your heart. This kind of thing that ordinary people think is boring and difficult to stick to, if you do it, it's really great. And anything that can last for more than ten years is already a great thing in itself.
Therefore, if you want to do one thing, the most important thing is persistence.
Life is boring most of the time. Let's try to see what will happen if we spend time on what we want to do and stick to it.
That way, isn't it interesting?
Hang in there. I also want to see how far my pen can go, and whether it can one day go to a bigger and broader stage and let more people see my article.
Let's, uh, wait and see.
