Snowbound at Blue Pass

Some happy news to share: "Snow Besieges Blue Pass" won Best Novel at the first Flint Literature Awards. Xiao Hui went to pick up the trophy yesterday, and the award was presented by the esteemed elder Jiang Zilong. I'm so happy. As I said in my acceptance speech, "Snow Besieges Blue Pass" was written purely out of love. I knew from the start that its subject was niche and its market small, but I was still burning with enthusiasm and spent a year writing 500,000 words. To borrow Lin Daiyu's words: "I did it for my heart!" After the book came out, it unexpectedly received widespread praise from readers. It was successfully published, its film and television rights were sold, it became a wonderful audiobook, it was serialized on CCTV's opera channel, and a TV adaptation is about to begin filming... Now it has also received recognition from this treasured literary award. Xiao Hui is overwhelmed with emotion: Give your all, and you will receive an answer. No matter how harsh the world may be, facing it with an innocent heart will never go out of style! I also want to thank everyone for all the encouragement and support you've given Xiao Hui and "Snow Besieges Blue Pass." A deep bow! My new story, "Lotus Born in Dunhuang," is currently being serialized. It's Xiao Hui's first attempt at online fiction. Its style differs from "Snow Besieges Blue Pass." Online fiction needs to cater to the market and please readers more than traditional literature, but I always remind myself to uphold my conscience as a writer. I will never lower my standards just to cater to the market. Winning this award has strengthened my resolve: to make my stories exciting and compelling, to keep improving, and, above all, to stay true to my writing and my heart. Thank you for staying with me all this way. Your love gives me more courage! In life and in my writing, I will strive to be as clear-hearted and genuine as Liansheng, Zhong'er, Yingcao, and Tianqing: to live freely, love openly, and encourage one another. Mwah!
