Xu Zhiliu, a sophomore student in the Department of Literature, was lucky enough to have the opportunity to interview Ji Zhen, an alumnus of the school, during the school magazine.
Senior Ji Zhen graduated three years ago and is a well-known playwright. She has won awards for three consecutive plays. She lives in seclusion and rarely appears in public.
It was the birthday of her alma mater, and as a junior whom she knew well in middle school, Ji Zhen happily accepted the interview.
Xu Zhiliu came to visit and learned the secrets of senior Ji Zhen's creation - there were countless manuscripts, all of which were handwritten. The tallest pile on the desk, Ji Zhen said, is stories written and discarded.
On this day, Xu Zhiliu said goodbye to Senior Ji Zhen and secretly took away a piece of waste paper.
A month later, Xu Zhiliu published a short story and won the silver medal in the essay competition. He received a bonus of 5,000 yuan and was invited by journals to write articles.
Xu Zhiliu sat in front of the screen all night and typed out hundreds of words, which was unremarkable.
Three days later, Ji Zhen received a text message from Xu, saying that the pen might have been left at his home.
Ji Zhen opened the door to her house with a smile and invited him into the room.
Dark little story.
Intention: Falling into the long dark night
