Features: I may not be truly suited to be a writer, but fate has led me down this path. When I feel lost and overwhelmed, I must find a way forward. This path can no longer be traversed by my legs, so I must use my pen to seek it. And in doing so, I later discovered that it benefits this Iron Life and a restless heart in the world, guiding it toward tranquility. Therefore, I long for such writing—what Shi Tiesheng once called "the night of writing." When all the wisdom and illusions of daylight have faded, the night compels you to see the world with a different kind of eye. Perhaps the fifth eye. Fortunately, writing can be this way, otherwise the path beneath his wheelchair would have long been completed. Many have asked me: Shi Tiesheng has been confined to his room since he was 20. Where did he find so much to write about? Taking this opportunity, I offer my answer: the clarity of daylight is limited, but the night is boundless.
