Features: My father not only wrote a lot but also, whenever his novels were published, they would immediately cause a sensation. In the readers' circle, he was known as the "King of Jin Fen Shi Jie," the "King of Ti Xiao Yuan," and the "King of Zhang Hen Shui." What's even more astonishing is that my father could write multiple novels simultaneously—at his peak, he could be working on seven long serial novels at once. Not only that, he never wrote drafts; he would write directly on the manuscript paper with a brush in his early years. His calligraphy was neat and tidy, without any carelessness or corrections. After the 1940s, he switched to using a pencil and carbon paper, producing two copies at a time. His handwriting was clear and well-organized, and anyone who saw his manuscripts was deeply impressed.
