Tang Xiaoping's personal monograph "Flute Sound on the Railway Line: Twenty News Reflections on Writing Live Characters" is about to be published. This is a gratifying thing. Speaking of which, Tang Xiaoping and I have some similarities in our life experiences. Our majors are similar. I majored in Chinese in college. She studied secretarial major. When I was in college, I loved literature and wrote many articles that were published in Hunan Daily and other newspapers. These works provided me with great help in finding a job in the railway after graduation. Tang Xiaoping initially worked at a grassroots station. She loved writing and often published articles in newspapers and periodicals. In 2001, she and I were in the same batch and entered the Guangzhou Railway Group Office and the Guangzhou Railway Newspaper respectively after passing the open recruitment examination. After Tang Xiaoping arrived at the newspaper office, she has been writing at the Changsha Reporter Station for 13 years, and has now become a well-known senior reporter within the Guangzhou Railway Group. In November 2013, I was transferred to the Guangzhou Railway Newspaper. When she put this manuscript in front of me, I read the book and seemed to see the steps of her growth. I am delighted to be the first reader of this book and to write the preface for her. Here, I might as well talk about my personal feelings about her and her published works.
