Chapter 1 foreword
The story "Diamond Flower" is the first of the stories with "Wesley" as the protagonist. When it was written, the subject of "science fiction" was not involved at all.When it was first published, I considered whether to include it or not, but it was included.Because this is the "first play" of the character Wesley, there is a fairly detailed account of the ins and outs of this character.Not long ago, a reader asked: "Where did Wesley mainly learn Chinese martial arts?" He couldn't remember it, but he had an affirmative answer: he was the apprentice of Hangzhou Crazy Beggar Jin Er.
This "allusion" is all in the story of "Diamond Flower".
Originally, I have always liked to use all kinds of characters that have appeared in the form of "continuous novels". Although the stories are different, familiar characters often appear, which can get twice the result with half the effort. Except for Wesley, the characters in "Diamond Flower" have never appeared again, like Shi Ju, who should be very cute and can be reproduced. Li Mingmei is dead, so there is nothing to say.
The reason why other characters in "Diamond Flower" are not used again is probably because it is not a science fiction story. In short, the writer has many situations that are not intentionally arranged. As for why this situation occurs unintentionally , it is impossible to pursue.
Since this is the earliest work, there are quite a lot of changes when it is re-edited.After many years of writing career, the writing is always much more refined than before.
