Chapter 44 Postscript The best eight years of my life have been given to you——To my Huayin

When "Van Hua Falling Shadow" ended, someone asked me, which of these eight volumes is the saddest and most sad?I thought about it, but couldn't say it.Because every time I watch it again, I feel that the answer is different. In the end, I suddenly discovered that the most abusive thing is the four words "the end of the whole series" at the end of the article. It has been eight years since it was serialized on the Internet in 2002.Too many things happened during this period, and this story is so different from my original idea.Even myself has changed so much.Many times I thought that I couldn't write these four words.

Sometimes, when encountering turbulent airflow on the plane, the expressions of all the people next to me changed. I couldn’t help jokingly thinking, if a flight attendant really came to hand over a note (for leaving a note in the black box, it is said that each person can only write 200 words) Character).In addition to explaining the funeral and distributing property, should I set aside a line to write the ending of the Huayin series?So as not to trap everyone?Yes, if there was such a moment, I would definitely do it.Huayin has been such an important part of my life.At least as important as passbook password :)

Fortunately, nothing happened, and after eight years, I finally finished it.When approaching the ending, I stopped writing several times and couldn't write any more; I also tossed and turned for several nights and couldn't sleep; Here, I really want to thank the extra episode "Empire of Roses" for its existence.Without it, making me believe that they are still happy in another parallel space, I really can't write any more. I also know that the sadness of this ending is unacceptable to many people. But I can assure you that I am not sad for the sake of sadness, not to hurt the heart, but deliberately hurt the characters.

Because I can't.Nobody loves them more than me.If anyone is hurt by this ending, I think the one who hurt the most is myself.I can cry at my desk, but I can't change it.Borrowing a statement from Xiao Zhuo in "Empire of Roses": "My destiny is higher than my will, and my most precious love must give way to the interests of the empire." Tragedy is not my arrangement, but in this world, it must come like fate—an inevitability that I cannot change. But I can also accept everyone's accusations calmly, because I know your love for the characters, and I would rather accept a vulgar reunion than see them wandering.

It was the same when I was a reader.I remember when I was watching it, I saw Scarlett looking for Rhett in the mist. At that time, I deeply knew that this story gained eternal power just because it was a tragedy, but I couldn't help thinking that even if it was vulgar, it would be great. Let's reunite.Because at that time my love for the characters had surpassed the work itself. What I want to say is that no matter how much you love them, you can't compare with me.How long does it take to read a book?a couple of hours?one day?a week?But it took me eight years to finish this story.If you count the time of conception, it will be longer.

I gave it my best years. If possible, I would rather let the story reunite to complete my love for them.But I can't, as a creator of the world, my destiny is higher than my will.They who are happy in the vulgar ending are not really them.The best gift I can give them is not their reunion in the virtual world, but their eternity in the minds of readers. What's more, in my mind, this ending is bright in a certain sense.Regardless of life or death, everyone gets everything they want. Life and death are not important in the illusory world, what is important is the completeness of the world.

There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: "All the heavens are there, the world is complete" is a portrayal of Huayin's ending. The dream of a thousand years is exchanged for a cup of the gods. Sadness and joy, birth and death, eternity and moment, all have their place. I really like the book "Vatican Flower Chasing Shadows".When I finished writing, I breathed a sigh of relief.Because I thought that after "Snow Wedding Dress", I would not be able to give a perfect ending, but in the end, thank God, I did. I am worthy of my eight years of desk work, and I am worthy of my lost youth.

Uncle Zheng, editor-in-chief of Jingu Legend, gave this book a review after reading it: ""Snow Wedding Dress" is exquisite and perfect, but it is not as vigorous as "Vatican Flower Falling Shadow". The atmosphere is amazing." Then, he said something that moved me: "The Huayin series has a great ending. After writing this ending, you can finally compromise with yourself—compromise with your relentless pursuit and harness your own talent." .” However, I still do not want to compromise, I would rather regroup and restart the journey. About the extra episode "Empire of Roses":

This is an afterlife story. The fate is over, but the love is still there.This life is over, waiting for the next life. It is not a small story that can be appended to "Falling Flowers", but a magnificent world, even more magnificent and magnificent than the original story. Because the Huayin series was conceived too early, it did leave a lot of regrets, including the order of publication, the immature state of creation at that time, and the confusion of details caused by multiple changes... Today, I dare not say that I have reached maturity, but in " During the creation process of "Snow Wedding Dress" and "Vatican Flower Falling Shadow", I feel more comfortable, more confident, more fluent expression, and stronger control.I often think, if I started writing Huayin today, I wouldn’t have left so many regrets, would I?Fortunately, all of this will be used in "Empire of Roses".It not only makes up for the happiness of the characters I love deeply in the main story, but also makes up for the many regrets left in my own creation.

The idea of ​​"Empire of Roses" also started a long time ago. It can be said that I have absolute confidence in it. Many regrets many years ago can be made up for now. I even thought that I can understand that some people don't like the main story. But I believe more people will like Fanwai.Whether it's Huayin's side story or not, it will be my best work.Because the splendor and depth of the core of this story is much, much higher than before. The previous years, previous hesitation, and attempts seemed to be preparing for it.Long years, waiting for a real blooming season to come.

But I also know that for many readers, this new world also has some difficult aspects, such as: 1. It is a fashion drama, obviously European style, but I prefer ancient style. 2. Worldization, will some characters become foreigners?It is hard to imagine Qiuxuan in the shape of a princess in a European castle. 3. Some characters' personalities and main stories may have been fine-tuned, making them cuter and brighter, but aren't they less cool? I know all this. However, this is such a grand idea, such a story that makes my heart move, such a smooth expression without barriers, such rich elements and adorable points...it is worth making these changes. If everyone is willing to let go of these prejudices, or pre-set stereotypes, then I guarantee that what will be presented to you is a more fantastic and grand picture scroll than the original story. To make an inappropriate analogy, if Huayin Zhengzhuan is an exquisite Suzhou garden, then Fanwai is a gorgeous European-style palace.Each has its own beauty, which cannot be compared, and one kind of framework cannot be used to limit another.If we are willing to let go of the stereotypes of aesthetics and walk in and take a look, it will be a wonderful journey.Princes, princesses, knights, gods and demons, these ancient legends run through the world around us, unfolding a roll of sweet, romantic, and magnificent legends. new legend.
