Chapter 55 Appendix Talking with Li Ximin

In the evening, I spent more than ten minutes on the phone with Li Ximin, a writer who survived the Sichuan earthquake, and I couldn't calm down.The day before yesterday, I received a text message from Li Ximin, saying that he had been discharged from the hospital in Chengdu and returned to his home in Shanghai. Thinking of Li Ximin's life and death disaster this time, I read his blog and friends about his experience of the earthquake a few days ago. Focusing on him, I really can't bear to disturb him. More than ten years ago, Ximin was still serving in a certain unit of the Air Force stationed in Guangdong. He is from Western Fujian and often returned to Fujian. Whenever he came to Xiamen, he often went to the editorial department of "Xiamen Literature" to find me.Later, the news was cut off, and when I heard about him again, he had become a famous "King of Horror", writing some thriller novels such as "Blood Money", which was unique in the whole country.Later we regained contact and learned that he had long since taken off his military uniform and settled down in Shanghai.

Last year, he approached me through a blog, saying that he wanted to publish a large series of military literature, and asked me for a manuscript.I sent a novella, said it was good, and asked if there was any more; I sent another novella, said it was good, and asked if there was any more; thus, I have sent three novellas one after another.After the Spring Festival, Ximin finally called and told me that his publication was called "Assembly" and that the first issue will be published in April, and asked me to write him a "congratulatory message", so I wrote it down. The article "Let's Gather Here" was posted; then, there was no news.

After the Wenchuan Earthquake, one day suddenly, I saw news that Li Ximin was buried in the ruins of Sichuan in succession on the blogs of Zhizhi Hutian and Da Abao.I can't believe this is true - what is he doing in Sichuan?But I still believe in my heart that this is true, because I know that Ximin likes to run around and hide somewhere to write novels.Later I learned that a friend of his friend opened a new villa in Pengzhou, and he hid there to write novels... Regarding the news of Li Ximin's escape from the earthquake, both "Literary News" and "Literary News" has been reported.

During the phone call, I asked about Ximin’s situation. He said that the wound on his body was healing, but his left arm was still a little numb. However, the doctor checked him during the treatment at the Chengdu Armed Police General Hospital and said that there would be no sequelae... Recalling his experience of being buried in Pengzhou for 76 hours, Ximin's tone was very calm, not like someone who just walked through the gate of hell and came back.However, he has exceeded the "golden rescue time", and has no food or drink, how did he survive? No one in literature is unfamiliar with Jack London's "Love of Life". The writer may have a deeper understanding of life.Xi Min said that the whole building collapsed and fell into the river, but his unit was still hanging on the river bank, and he could only lament his fate!Heaven never destroys Cao!Xi Min said that he will write these experiences and feelings into a book, and the book written from such experiences will make people feel truly horrified.We look forward to……

Ximin mentioned on the phone that the first issue of the upcoming "Assembly" will be published soon. He just mentioned the word "authorship fee". I immediately understood his intention and said without hesitation: "Donate to Please donate for me!" Li Ximin, who survived the catastrophe, returned home and contacted several authors of the first issue of "Assembly" to donate their compensation and manuscript fees... This is Li Ximin! Ximin finally said that he did not shed tears when he was buried in the ruins, but later saw so many friends' comments on his blog, concerned about his safety, he shed tears!I suddenly got a lump in my throat and couldn't say anything...
