A New Year’s letter to book friends

Dear book friends, hello. I am tx Cheng Zhi. I am here to extend my sincere New Year blessings to everyone. Today is January 17, 2023, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Here, Lao Cheng wishes everyone a New Year in advance.

May you be happy and auspicious in the Year of the Rabbit. The Rabbit will make rapid progress, the whole family will be happy, everything will go well, and you will be in good health.

In fact, Lao Cheng was just like everyone else in the beginning, he was a reader who loved reading. According to the online novel classification on Zhihu, I should belong to the first generation of online novel readers. Although he is an author, Lao Cheng is not a professional author;

Amateur author. People know themselves. I know that I don’t have the ability to support myself and my family by writing books.

I'm also very lucky that I didn't give up my job at any time to write books full-time, because my experience of writing books was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs. The better the results of one book, the better the next one.

Adult dog.

In 2005, I published the novella "Loving You Again in the Next Life" online for the first time. This novel was written based on myself, and it was also written to commemorate the lost youth, the lost first love, and the lost love.

"I Really Didn't Want to Be an Emperor at the End of the Ming Dynasty" is my eleventh book, and it is also the book with the worst statistics so far before it was put on the shelves. However, it is on the other extreme. Among all my books, I have subscribed

It is the best book in the world. Currently, the total collection is 4488, with an average subscription of 574, and the subscription ratio is 7.82. The first subscription of this book was 220,

It took a total of thirty-one days to open the book on November 26, 2022, and put it on the shelves on December 27, 2022. From the first order of 220 to the average order of 500, it took seventeen days. Until today, it has been less than two months. Update

450,000 words. To be fair, this is not Lao Cheng’s ultimate update speed. My highest record is 460,000 words in a single month, which was also done in eleven months using a book called "The Blood Blade of the Tang Dynasty" which is not yet a high-quality product.

Upgrade from level one author to level five and get 150,000 points.

However, it is too difficult for Lao Cheng now. The old man has lung cancer and has been in hospital for nine days. He is accompanied by him in the hospital every day. Lao Cheng still insists on updating and trying hard to maintain the hard-won situation.

An author friend said, you are so ambitious that you can still write books now...

There is really no other way, just carry it if you can, and carry it if you can't, because Lao Cheng is a man.

When you are free, when you are at home, take some time to spend with your parents, because they are old and no one can predict the future.

"I Really Did Not Become an Emperor at the End of the Ming Dynasty" is still on the road of growth, gaining support and criticism from more readers.

I will reply to some of the comments in the book review section.

For example, some readers said: "Why is it so stupid to dismantle a small machine tool into parts and bring it here? Is it because I don't have enough IQ to write a book?"

In fact, industry is a system, and it relies on the power of the system. It is not difficult for the protagonist to carry a machine tool on his back, but what about electricity? What to do? How to solve it?

There is also "riding an electric bike, drinking Erguotou, cherishing a dollar, this is the middle level of a state-owned enterprise?"

Lao Cheng is a state-owned enterprise employee. In fact, the income of the middle-level state-owned enterprises is not as high as everyone imagines. There are hidden benefits, but no matter how high the income is, the attitude towards life depends on each different person. This is something Lao Cheng himself deeply understands.

I have experience, because Lao Cheng is also a father with a child. Lao Cheng is willing to pay for the food and clothing of his child, but he... can only make do with it.

Before Lao Cheng got married, he was a smoker, smoking Big Red Eagle. Later he switched to Bai Liqun, then to Shiqu, and then after he had a daughter and son, he switched to the lower-grade Bailiqun Huangshan.

Men at different ages have different consumption concepts. When they were unmarried, they dared to spend half a month's salary on a meal. Now, they will calculate and compare every meal, even if they want to buy something.

Save a dollar and walk a few more miles.

No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, Lao Cheng still works hard to move forward.

In the new year, Lao Cheng and everyone set out again.

Finally, I hope everyone will continue to support us.

tx Cheng Zhi
