Features: I have always believed that writing is the crystallization of the natural talent and dreams of authors. The bigger the dream, the greater the perseverance in writing. But since I started writing in my teens until now, I have never clearly defined the size of my own dreams. Half a lifetime has passed, and I still have no intention of putting down my pen, which makes this kind of perseverance truly hard to fathom. In the 13th century, there was a shepherd boy in Italy who spent his days watching sheep on the mountains. Bored, he would draw sheep on the rocks. Eventually, the entire mountain was covered in the various sheep he had drawn. One day, a famous painter from the city came hunting and happened to see the boy drawing. He took the shepherd boy into the city, and the boy's life changed forever. Besides natural talent, dreams, and perseverance, perhaps a bit of luck from the government, party, and military is also needed to bring someone to prominence.
