I became associated with words when I was very young. At that time, there were many literatures on the bookcases at home. Classics are all my father's favorite books.
The book is very old, some pages have become yellowed to the point where the writing is no longer visible, and some have been eaten away by tiny insects and ants.
My father likes to collect books and is reluctant to throw them away after reading them. Because of my curiosity, after I learned how to read, I also liked to pick it up and look through it when my father was not around.
Although I didn’t understand it very well, and even forgot some of them after reading them, I still missed the smell of books and slowly fell in love with this feeling.
As a result, even though I bought a lot of books when I grew up, I didn’t read them all. I just read them, smelling the fragrance of books, and my soul felt peaceful.
The beautiful words in the book not only shocked my soul, but also opened up a whole new world for me.
In this world, I followed the Tang monk and his disciples in "Journey to the West" to experience the hardships of the Eighty-One Dilemma, and at the same time I was happy for them to obtain the true scripture; in this world, I experienced I saw the greatness of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the warmth and warmth of people in the Grand View Garden; in this world, I also saw the unique and exotic customs abroad...
At that time, I had a dream, hope I can also write such beautiful words. Through words, I can also lead others to places that the other person's feet cannot reach, and experience feelings that she has never experienced before.

The seeds of my dream were planted early, but it was in middle school that I really started to consciously study and practice writing. At that time, I liked Xi Murong very much and felt that her poetry was the best in the world. The most beautiful words. Follow her words to find the meaning of youth.
"I always hide in the depths of dreams and seasons, listening to the flowers and the night sing all the nightmares, all the prosperity, all the origins of memories."
"Youth It was a book that was too hasty, and we read it again and again with tears in our eyes.”
…
These beautiful sentences have been with me almost throughout my junior high school life, so that I have always read them. Live in the sadness and beauty of poetry.
When I was in high school, I started to have a "transference" and fell in love with Sanmao. I know that there is a kind of love called Jose and Sanmao, and I know that there is a distant place called the Sahara Desert...
"How Many Flowers Have Fallen in a Dream", "The Rainy Season Will Never Come Again" and "Sahara Desert" are all my favorite prose set.
And among them, "Lock my memory, lock my sadness, I don't think about you anymore, how can I think about you again, happiness is a forbidden place, after life and death, I can't find the key to get in."
"Loneliness is like a shadow, loneliness is like a companion, old happiness is like a dream, no need to dissolve, it has become a living thing." I transcribed sentences such as this in my diary, and I will always read them again whenever I open them. It feels wonderful, a feeling that only such beautiful words can give.
When I applied for the college entrance examination, I chose the Chinese major without even thinking about it. When I was a freshman, I started to publish articles on the Internet and in newspapers.
I still remember the scene when I published my first poem on People's Daily Online. At that time, I saw that my work was selected as a high-quality product. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep. I called my class teacher, Mr. Deng, to tell me the good news all night long. .
Teacher Deng happens to teach us the history of modern literature. His main research direction is modern poetry, and I also write modern poetry. Naturally, he can give me a lot of advice.
But in fact, he didn’t. Apart from encouraging me, he didn’t give me any other advice. Looking back now, he just didn’t want to suppress my confidence. After all, there must be many flaws in what I wrote. It is much more important for a student to remain confident at all times than for her to accept a little new knowledge in front of her.
Later, I published articles in the school newspaper. For a while, I had my own works in almost every issue. My teacher even recommended me to publish them in Dahe Newspaper.

Then I serialized a novel on Qidian. It was considered a hit at that time, but it was a pity that I fell in love during that time and could not stick to it. Quanqin couldn't get it, and his enthusiasm gradually waned, and he was depressed for a long time.
It’s a bit regretful to think about it. If I had persisted, I don’t know how great my achievements would have been. After all, in 2012, new media was just starting to take off.
Later, when I went to Peking University and met Secretary Liu, I was encouraged by him to regain my confidence in writing. Although it's a little late, I'm glad I didn't give up.
And it is undeniable that these small achievements in my student days gave me enough confidence and courage, which is confidence in words, fearlessness in difficulties, and persistence in dreams.
It was not surprising that I later joined the Writers Association and became a cutting-edge writer in our city. I even wrote novels, wrote scripts, wrote and directed... and even became a cutting-edge in the film and television industry in the future.
Whose peak does not start with small steps? If you have dreams, there is no paradise that cannot be reached, and if you have words, there is no distance that cannot be reached.
Reading and writing are the only interests I can persist in. Reading allows me to see a world that I have never been to before, and writing is the most powerful proof that I have been to this world.
Yes, what can keep those lost years and retain the beauty of the past? It’s words! There is nothing in this world except words and pictures to prove that you have been here.
I know how to take photos, but I am not proficient in it, and I have no persistence. Just words are my favorite thing.
I told Secretary Liu that every night you help me take care of the children and give me one to two hours to close the door and immerse myself in reading and writing. That is right. My best love.
A person who loves reading and writing is like a dry dead well without life! Not writing for a day is like not eating enough, and you will feel dizzy from hunger. So, adhering to my love for words, I met the one I like.
In this life, I just want to use words to measure the distance! I just want to reach the other side of my dreams through words, and this other side is just ahead!
