Historically, most people who lived by selling words were poor and hungry. Words are worthless.
This is a poor scholar in The Crow and the Sparrow in the 1930s. He lives by selling literature in an office building, and he is often too tired to vomit blood. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The most valuable thing in China is the physical strength of workers, followed by what we call articles. Only cleverness is the most valuable. (Not Gossip 3) "
If you want to be a writer, you must be a writer. These days, it is not good to do anything, but to write. I'm still writing. If you have a good father, food, drink and shelter, it's okay to write something. If you make a living by doing this, you will be poor all your life.
Lu Yao: I have been poor and bumpy all my life, and I have tasted the hardships and loneliness of the world in just 42 years. Do you know how to write Ordinary World? He died in his forties. Do you know what life state Lu Yao wrote when he wrote this novel? Poverty, overwork, terrible life, exhaustion.
Many people want to live on words. Whether they can eat or not is another matter.
So most people will come to the conclusion that:
The most worthless thing in the world is words.
To be fair, I want to be a person who lives by words, but I don't want to be a person who makes money by words. It is realistic that writing articles can't make money. Breaking through the torrent of reality with poetic romance is a road with extremely low success rate, and I can't guarantee that I can squeeze into this rare possibility.
There is a joke, very vulgar, but interesting to read:
When a woman writer met a robber at night, she said with trepidation, "Big Brother, I am a novelist. In his thirties, his salary is less than 3 thousand. On holidays, no one even gave 100, and no one gave gifts. This is my third-level writer's certificate. "
The robber had tears in his eyes: "Sister, I am also a writer, writing prose. I'm almost 40, and I don't have a house or a car. I only came out as a robber when I married my wife. " You go, by the way, don't take the side road, it's more dangerous, all poets are poor and crazy! "
The woman said, "Big Brother, you should take the following road when grabbing. They are all calligraphers! " " .
