This time, I won't ask about grades, I'll only ask about sincerity. This time, I just want to write a good book. This time, I'm writing about hope, about the deepest dreams in my heart. I really want to earnestly experience a journey through time, truly live a life in my dreams. I am ordinary and mediocre, but my dreams are far from mediocre. Every night before I fall asleep, I enter the space of my dreams. In that space, I live bit by bit, walk inch by inch, starting from scratch, creating a dreamland that belongs to me and everyone else. However, this space is more real, more tangible than any space in my previous novels. This wasn't supposed to be the book's introduction. The prepared introduction was much better. I just don't know which boozer, returning late at night outside my study, is singing "Horse Herding in a City." I don't know how many wives he has run away with, singing so heart-wrenchingly. Somehow, it made this carefree, nearing-fifty, chubby me shed tears. People, the older they get, the less they accomplish. And so, the introduction ended up like this. Please bear with it and read. If the book isn't good, feel free to criticize me in the comments section. I'm used to it, eagerly listening. Also, if you like youth and passion, please go read "Tang Brick," "The Wisdom of the Song Dynasty," "Silver Fox," "Han Homeland," "Tomorrow's World." All of these books have a minimum of 25,000 subscriptions, guaranteeing their quality. This time, please allow me to slowly travel through time, to travel happily and with style. Your old friend, Jie, respectfully presents.
