Chapter 195 To Nie Jisan

Comrade Nie Jisan: It took you a year to write this "Expectation". This kind of hard work is good.But this novel has three shortcomings: (1) The stories and characters throughout the text are messy and vague, and there is a large distance between dialogue and spoken language, so that it lacks a lively atmosphere; (2) The basic writing level is too poor, and attention should be paid to the smoothness of sentences , Write fewer other characters, this is the minimum condition; (3) Can't see what the main idea is, so that the purpose and meaning of writing novels will be lost.Although you think you have a theme, if you don't visualize it, readers won't be able to see it, and it won't be effective.The manuscript is hereby returned, please check it.

Yours sincerely! Shen Yanbing March 1954
