Features: Writing has become a part of my life. In my view, works are "frozen time" and "frozen life." Life is only once for a person. I am willing to freeze my limited life in my works and dedicate them to the times and to the readers. A writer needs a certain amount of money as a material guarantee for writing. However, if writing is done solely for money, such writing will not be sustainable. For me, I have already passed two "money" tests... One was during the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution," when there was no royalty for publishing books. I published ten books, and many others were written during that time and published after the "Cultural Revolution." The other is now, when both of my sons have successful careers, and I can live a comfortable life even if I write a single word. I still write every day.
