A Cantonese can only write short stories about the streets and alleys around him. The platform asked me to recommend my own works, which I never thought of. Until one day, I saw Huang Weiwen's interview. Young readers may not necessarily recognize it. In the era before smart phones, in the era when letters were still put into the mailbox, the four names I heard the most were Huang Zhan, Huang Weiwen, Lin Xi, and Li Zongsheng. If we look at rankings, it must be Huang Weiwen. In my mind, he is Yi Shu in the choir and Li Bihua in the songs. Of course, let alone writing, the literature of my time was dominated by Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Gu Long, Yi Shu, Zhang Ailing, and Li Bihua. I have always liked literature, but in recent years, I can no longer find my hometown land in current literary works. It feels like Guangdong has been ripped out of the literary map of China. Until one day, I was inspired by Huang Weiwen and finally plucked up the courage. I thought I would write a novel using my own hometown dialect and local affairs. It doesn't matter whether the novel ends up on the best-seller list or just grows dust in the literary underground. I have left the mark of my visit on the platform, as well as the fireworks and hustle and bustle of Guangdong.
If you feel dull after watching it, I'm sorry, it's because I'm not gorgeous enough. If you can feel a little moved by my characters after watching it at the end, then thank you for your company. Having you watch and appreciate them is a kind of perfection beyond the novel.
Finally,
Thank you!
Huang Weiwen!
