Chapter 59 letter to children

Dear children: A reporter from Lingnan Youth Daily, the editorial committee of the National Youth Relay Series, sent several letters addressed to me among the received essays, and sent them by express mail, asking me to reply.I have read these passionate letters from all over the world, and I am very grateful to you for your love and trust in me!Almost every day I get letters from children transferred from the Chinese Writers Association and many children’s publications publishing houses, all talking about issues similar to yours: It is the various situations that I encounter in my writing.I would like to take this opportunity to provide a general answer here.

1.You all have the ideal of "to be a writer in the future".This ideal is good and positive.But whether or not one can become a writer depends on the recognition of the readers.Writing for writing's sake, articles without real emotion will not get sympathy and resonance from readers.May you keep this in mind. 2.You have all been rewarded for your writing, but sometimes ridiculed.I think to deal with this kind of sarcasm, the first is to be modest and introspective, and the second is to deal with it indifferently.As long as you think that the purpose of your writing is positive and has positive social effects, you must stick to it.

3.From your letters, I have seen a lot of teaching and support from your parents and teachers. I am very grateful to them. Please pay tribute to them on my behalf!Your warm and loyal friend Bing Xin December 15, 1986
