Chapter 10 happy hard

An old editor from Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House called and said that the sample copy of my novel "Psychiatrist" had arrived, and I replied without thinking: I will come and get it right away.Although I live far away, in Pudong, and have to cross the river, I can't wait to see my new book, and I immediately become excited, as if there is a sudden news that a relative who has been waiting for a long time has boarded the plane and is about to go When you arrive, you have to greet without delay.Really, when I got this new book, I felt like a nurse holding a fleshy little life in front of me after my son was taken out by caesarean section.At this moment, my mood was extremely rich, and the hardship of being pregnant for ten months all turned into joy at this moment—this is a heartfelt joy, and after careful understanding, besides joy, there is also a very sacred mood—for Life has fruits, which are the fruits watered with hard work!In the past year of writing "Psychiatrist", my mood has always been heavy, as if the sky above my head has never been clear, because of the experiences of many patients, as well as my thoughts on these experiences, as well as the heroic man I described emphatically. The psychiatrist who failed but failed, as well as the reflection on the doctors' failures, make the writing of this novel full of hardships and difficulties from the beginning to the end.What's more, this year, I had to move again. There was no desk in the borrowed house, and everything was relatively simple.Fortunately, I can adapt to the simple.Experienced writing at the post office.I am easily satisfied with the predicament of writing manuscripts on the kang in the dormitory of the Great Northern Wilderness. As long as there is a place to spread the manuscript paper, I can write and write those difficult stories.For the acceptance of hardship and hardship.Habit, the protagonists of my novels never blame others, because the life of our generation has always been difficult and difficult.Of course, we can also avoid hardships and difficulties. For example, the psychiatrist in my novel does not have to go out of the hospital to worry about the living conditions and living conditions of the patients. He does things that a doctor cannot do, but the result is Ask for trouble, ask for failure.But I think there is a spirit in the doctor's failure that we really cannot do without.When I portrayed this failed hero, I was full of emotion, because the society is very snobbish, and only judges a hero by success or failure, not his spiritual essence, but a society and a nation cannot be without spirit no matter what the situation is—— ——This is the spiritual motivation for me to finish writing this novel with such a heavy heart when the desire for money and material things is in full swing.However, the completion of writing does not mean that you are done. There is also the hurdle of publishing. Many works cannot be printed due to lack of orders.Of course, I can't let my novel end up being "unable to print". For this reason, I went to Xinhua Bookstore from door to door, begging them to order my book; They can help me organize a "book signing" activity, and they will pay to buy my book and give it to readers, so that more people can read this novel that I have completed through hardships and hardships.My efforts and hopes have been understood by these entrepreneurs. When the book is published, I finally got my wish and can present a thousand copies of the book to readers.

I have been busy for a few days preparing for the book donation event.It is certainly a joy to be busy with one's own book.But apart from being happy, I was also a little nervous: How many people are still interested in my novels under the overwhelming economic tide?Will it be deserted?However, I also secretly comforted myself: Whether it is deserted or lively, I wrote it wholeheartedly, worked hard wholeheartedly, and I did what I should do, but in the end, whether it is success or failure, there is nothing I can do. . Book giveaways begin at 2:00 p.m.When I arrived at the Literature and Art Publishing House at 12:30, I saw a long queue lined up in an orderly manner.I hurriedly sat down to sign the book, and there were layers of people around the window.From time to time, I moved my eyes to the window, seeing strange faces and eager gazes, and my heart was warm, as if illuminated by the pleasant sunshine of autumn.Before two o'clock, the door of the "Reader Service Department" was opened, and there was a sea of ​​people outside the door.I was really surprised and delighted.I'm ashamed of the nervousness and worry I've had. I've underestimated my readers.The books I donated are limited, but the flood of people far exceeds the number of books.At this time, I was worried again: What about those who can't get the book?They all came from all over the world, and some even took long-distance buses from the suburbs.Although, considering this point, the publishing house is going to let us sign and sell books at the same time as donating books, but how many people are willing to pay for books?

Both book giving and book buying start at two o'clock.Once again, beyond my expectation, the queue for buying books formed a circle like a long queue.The queue is quietly and patiently lined up, and it always takes an hour or two to buy.I was deeply moved while bowing my head to sign for the readers who bought my book. I really wanted to ask them, why are they willing to spend a few hours and more than 20 yuan to buy the book?After all, most of them are wage earners, after all, it takes a day or two of wages.Whenever these readers handed the book to me with eager eyes, I felt faint uneasiness in my heart, and I would secretly ask myself: Is the book handed to them worth their time and rushing to buy it? ?The thoughts I wrote in the book, the worries I wrote in the book, did the ideals I wrote in the book express their feelings?From time to time someone in the team came up to me and said: I like your article very much, thank you for writing a book for us!I can only say one sentence: I should thank you!This is what I say in my heart, because with readers' love, I have the confidence and motivation to write books.Therefore, such book donation and book sales activities enable readers and authors to have wordless communication and gain spiritual motivation and comfort from each other.

Even though this activity has been over for a day or two, readers still often call me to talk about the various problems they encountered in life in this long story, and a reader wrote to say that when he saw the news of the book donation in the newspaper , her daughter is seriously ill and living in the hospital, she has to accompany her day and night, worrying that she will not be able to get away to buy books, "I hesitated at noon yesterday, the child was still infusion, if I walked away, it would be inconvenient for her to urinate. But I really want to see you. My daughter is so good, she said to me: Mom, you can go, this opportunity can’t be missed, you can go and see Aunt Xing’er, I’ll urinate by myself. That’s when I left with peace of mind I went, queued for more than an hour to get a copy, and queued up to buy a copy for a good friend of mine. She is still in Heilongjiang and teaches Chinese in the third year of high school. She teaches very well. I think, the book I like, she I must like it..." Holding this letter, I felt the comfort of being needed and the pressure of being needed, and I said to myself: You really have to write works that are really needed by people, so as not to disappoint these readers. Mind.While reading this letter, I deeply realized the joy after hard work. This kind of joy is sincere and from the bottom of my heart.I know that it is this kind of happiness that spurs me to continue to work hard, and to learn to work hard happily.
