Features: Here I want to reveal a little secret to everyone: My works are currently undergoing their third revision. All the works are preparing for publication in bound volumes, but only after the revisions are completed. I have finalized the revisions for The Book and Sword, and after hearing Professor Li's speech at this meeting, I was very inspired, which was very helpful in revising the short story The Swordplay of the Yue Maiden. Professor Li said that during the Wuyue conflict, the Wu Kingdom was a highly civilized and enlightened nation, while the Yue Kingdom was a culturally backward and barbaric one. To defeat the Wu Kingdom, King Goujian of Yue used many savage and despicable means. Goujian was essentially a despicable person who achieved success, which seems to be a pattern in Chinese history. In the future, when I revise The Swordplay of the Yue Maiden, I will incorporate Professor Li's opinions, although I probably won't be able to write too much. This example shows that I really gained specific benefits from this meeting.
