My obsession has always been that I must write a novel before I die.

As for the subject of the novel, I have already thought about it. First, it must revolve around family history and record the past of my grandparents’ generation in detail; secondly, it must contain my own personal experience, or “personal experience” that I imagined myself; thirdly, it must If it is group-like, with multiple characters and multiple main lines, and the first person should be the main character; finally, and most importantly, it must not be a purely realistic novel, but must have surreal parts that can make readers feel Astonishment.

What is astonishment? I think it was my heart that had a momentary shake of the truth. This thing, it shouldn't have happened, but it happened, and it happened right before my eyes. I couldn't believe it, but I had to believe it, so I started to doubt myself: "Am I wrong? Or is the world wrong?"

    Every breath I take when I wake up is for you, a testament to your love and devotion to you, because we are so in sync, close, possessing my soul, deeper and deeper, a reminder of prematurely foretold moments of crisis, But you always taught me that I couldn't extricate myself. Tragedy seemed to be predestined, and even betrayal and hurt happened like this. People who love each other are fun to listen to outdated pop songs, and even speech can be sweet.
