Writer 1979: Writing for the People

Wheat has ripened thousands of times, but for the first time, it's the people! A writer with an honest and upright life, meeting the people openly and honestly! Waking up one morning, Xu Lu found himself a former educated youth from Zhangjia Village in 1979, with no hope of returning to the city. Beside him sat a wife he had just met! Wait, I'm Old Xu now? "I can work, I don't eat much, can you please not send me away?" Faced with Li Xiuzhi's pleading, Xu Lu finally nodded. She was the only one left in the family, and they had already gotten their marriage certificate; where could he send her? But now that he had a wife, returning to the city was even more difficult! What to do? Xu Lu finally decided to write novels, to become a writer—a "roundabout way to save the country." If he became a full-time writer for the provincial writers' association, he could transfer his and his family's household registration there! What should he write? He would write stories that ordinary people could understand and enjoy reading! A great writer was born… He redefined rural literature, becoming the king of fairy tales in everyone's eyes, the most dazzling sun of the new era of literature! Countless people have been inspired by him to embark on the path of writing! Years later, Xu Lu, a leading figure in the literary world, said in an interview: "I don't have any grand ambitions, but my stories will always be written for the people!"
