Long Night·erosion of Light

Write in front After I was admitted to Shenzhen High School, I found that my social circle expanded so much that I was often easily affected by the environment. At first, I chose to write some random essays in a small book. I remember that I wrote a total of thirty or forty articles at that time, but the number of words in each article varied. Some might have five or six hundred words, while some might only have one sentence. Later, with the encouragement of friends, I started to write some poems. Although my skills were very average, I always felt that my interest in literary creation was getting deeper. So during the summer vacation after my freshman year of high school, I came up with the idea of ​​writing a novel, partly because I read Xiao Yimo's "White Group Portraits". I really liked his cold writing style and the transformation between everyday language and unfamiliar language. So in July 2025, I began to conceive of my own novel, imitating Xiao Yimo's style, and finally wrote "Wind Traces" (preface to this book). After sharing "Wind Scar" with my friends, it received a lot of positive reviews, so I decided to get involved and tell the story of this "world overflowing with supernatural powers". Later, during the writing process, I discovered that I could actually integrate some of my usual thoughts about life, society, and human nature into the novel, so I followed this line of thinking and wrote this novel into an urban novel that is socially critical and has deep thinking rather than just cool writing. I came up with the name "Long Night" when I was halfway through the creation of the novel, because I felt that in this world, even if supernatural powers appear to be slowly overflowing from the outside, the fate of this world has been doomed since the "dissolution" in 1910. At some point, this worldview also reflects some characteristics of our real world. For example, since the Age of Discovery, the impact of capitalism's plunder and exploitation of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America has not been eliminated, and it can even be said that it can never be completely erased. In short, this novel reflects some of my thoughts in daily life. I don't expect that I can change anything through these words. Perhaps most readers will read it as a refreshing novel, but I know that this novel carries my views on the world, and I have always had such an imaginary world in my mind, with different joys and sorrows and ups and downs every day. Stare into the abyss for too long, and the abyss will stare back. Retracing the ashes for too long, we are also stained with dust. Therefore, I believe that this novel can bring something to you, the readers, even if it is just a moment of immersion. I hope you all enjoy this novel!
