I originally wanted to start writing this novel later, because I don't have enough time and energy right now. However, I just feel that inspiration is flowing out, and I am afraid that it will be lost in an instant. I had no choice but to write first and retain my feelings.
This is my first formal attempt at writing a full-length novel, and it is a martial arts novel. I have already mentioned in "About Ye Ye and Martial Arts" in the essay series "Collection of Leaves" that I have the idea of innovating martial arts novels and hope to contribute a small amount to this novel form that I love. In fact, the so-called innovation is nothing more than integrating with current social phenomena and social trends of thought, and exploring social issues in the form of novels. In terms of writing techniques, in recent years, both public opinion and readers have become more and more tolerant, and various realistic modernist techniques have emerged in endlessly. Whether it is Yu Hua's unique writing style that dissects human nature with bloody violence, or Murong Xuecun's transition from realism in "Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight" to modernism in "Cherry of Eden", both have been highly praised. Even Han Han's Q version of the martial arts novel "Chang'an Rebellion" and Lin Changzhi's "Q version of Chinese", despite the praise and criticism of such works from all walks of life, still show their certain vitality. Therefore, I think it would be appropriate to take advantage of this period to try to innovate martial arts novels.
