Beyond family affection, beyond friendship, beyond love, this is the clearest and purest love rendered with blood and life.
Life is a drama, and it is the most unforgettable tragedy. We use hypocritical and cruel smiles and indifferent and alienated suspicions to build a huge siege for ourselves. The high walls block the sun and the air becomes heavy and cold.
There are only two ways to abandon this city, one is the most cowardly and helpless death; the other is the almost impossible escape and rebellion.
"Abandoned City" is the novel I put the most effort into. It took me half a year to conceive it before I started writing it, because at the beginning I only had thematic ideas but no writing ideas.
Later, I read "Fantasy City" in Four Dimensions, Ka Suo and Ying Kong Shi, The Mystery of Fantasy Snow Mountain... And I suddenly got inspiration.
At night, I had a very strange dream. I dreamed that there was a man who pierced his heart with a sword in a deserted snowy wilderness. He was smiling, and the blood spurting out melted into the snow, quietly igniting clusters of flames and warming the whole world.
I turned over and wrote on the paper: "Huo Zhi is dead, and his blood dyed the swirling white snow red."
Thus, "Abandoned City" was born, on March 31, 2010.
