Note to all readers:
Today is New Year's Eve, and I would like to briefly introduce to you the idea of creating this book.
In fact, the editor is not optimistic about the theme of this book, because as a grand fictional world, it is not easy for readers to immerse themselves in it. Liu Xingda sincerely suggested that I choose a more old-fashioned theme, that is, the late Ming Dynasty.
But I still stuck to my original intention.
On the one hand, the late Ming Dynasty has been badly written, and it is difficult to come up with fresh novels. I think readers will also feel aesthetic fatigue, and I don’t think I can surpass those famous late Ming Dynasty works.
On the other hand, I do have a strong obsession with this subject matter. The suffering and despair I endured in that era is really unbearable to read about. I think it should be the nature of most people to pursue a bright future, and even just fantasizing about it can be comforting.
As for why I didn’t choose that subject (such as "Speculators" and various aid articles), I don’t like the former, and the latter... There are already many on a certain website, not to mention these two types of articles are not in It can be sent here.
Considering that "Da Ming▇37" a few years ago seemed to be quite popular, I simply chose the fictional Daming Dynasty in the 20th century (actually, it would be more reasonable to fictionalize Li Zicheng's Dashun or Wu Sangui's Da Zhou, but I guess it's not much. People like it), and there is not much room for free play.
However, looking at it now, "Daming▇37" has many problems, especially in terms of ideology...
At the same time, its style is more similar to Xiaobaiwen and Long Aotian. Everyone knows the details, so I won’t go into details.
My original intention in writing this book was nothing other than to tell this story in a more objective and neutral manner. The writing style would be more rigorous. Although I dare not claim to be an old writer, I will work hard to achieve it; at the same time, it will not be boring.
Finally, I excerpt a long comment from a reader of my last book, which is a summary of my creative ideas:
"This story is really the best description of the sequel to Long Aotian's story. The final end of countless historical novels is that the protagonist dominates the world, so how this foundation develops often only has a few chapters of sequel. Here is the details sequel."
I wish you all a happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
Just this.
