On the morning of September 24th, the famous writer Liang Xiaosheng came to Han as a senior seminars for the Hubei writer of the Lu Xun Academy of Literature, and mentioned that his new novel "Father and Son" will be launched in November.

He said that each work is different. For example, the novel "Father and Son" he will launch in November, from 1937, was written until the early 1980s, and wrote generations.

After writing and one generation, the novel will be very long, but it will compress it to 300,000 words. Everyone will be confused about such a long period of time. How can it be compressed to 300,000 words? That is the change of perspective. If you write your parents 'experience, write the parents' words and deeds from the perspective of "I", and write "I" in the next chapter. After writing the son, the son is growing, and what the son sees in the eyes of the son. Choose the perspective you want to use, the rhythm will be faster.

Liang Xiaosheng said that his creation, his requirements for himself, at least to let readers read on page 50, forget to read a novel, and feel that he has entered a life instead of showing the writer himself.
