Chapter 269
One day, someone came to the government office to ask him for help. After the discussion, he took out a magazine and said with a smile: "Did you write this?"
He took it, looked at it, and said, "I don't have the time to write something like this."
The man laughed and said, "I don't think that's possible. But the writing style is very similar to yours when you were young. And this pen name."
He laughed and said, "If it were really me, I would choose such an obvious pen name, afraid that people would not know it was me?"
The man laughed and said, "That's quite a coincidence. Why don't you ask the newspaper who this person is? He and you really hit it off. We have the same name and writing style. Maybe meeting each other will be like looking in the mirror."
He laughed and said, "I'd better not scare people."
Wang Jiazhi felt that since the other person had painstakingly written more than 20,000 words and fought three literary battles for her, she should write back to express her gratitude.
Mr. Xinyan:
Zhan Xinjia
I am truly grateful for your kindness in defending me the day before yesterday.
I've never been good at arguing, especially with written arguments. But when I see people who clearly understand something pretending not to understand, shamelessly and unscrupulously accusing me, I feel really bad.
I believe that sincere criticism, whether right or wrong, is respectable and welcome. Criticism that is simply for the sake of sensationalism is shameless.
The words he used to defend me echoed my own sentiments. Besides being deeply gratifying, I also felt a sense of joy at being understood.
When writing, my biggest fear is that what I write won't be understood by the readers. But if I write too meticulously, I worry that it will be too cumbersome and elaborate. I believe that criticism that readers understand is far more rewarding than countless words of praise that readers don't understand. And Mr.'s understanding praise is even more flattering.
The gentleman's words are calm and sophisticated, yet sharp and interesting, which I really admire.
Thousands of words cannot express my feelings, so I will just say a few words to show my deepest gratitude.
[Cat's Paw]
After Wang Jiazhi finished writing, she did not write her own name at the end of the letter. Instead, she asked a kitten's paw to dip in ink and make a cat's paw print.
At night, Lao Yi returned to his office and saw something on the table. He opened the letter and read it, thinking, what if she doesn't know it's him? This letter is too ambiguous.
Good luck with your letter. Shouldn't you normally write "Sincerely," "Respectfully," or "Sincerely"? What's the point of saying "Thousands of words are hard to express"? Shouldn't you sign it "Sincerely"? Pressing a cat's paw is like acting like a spoiled child.
She also brought nine kinds of puff pastry: peanuts, walnuts, chestnuts, persimmons, apples, oranges, lotus roots, lotus pods, and, in the center, ginkgo leaves. The apples and oranges looked just like the real thing. She really did learn it quickly.
He must have been overthinking things. After he finished reading the letter, he found two long hairs inside. He picked them up and thought to himself, "My hair has grown so long."
Sincerely, Mr. Zhenli:
I received your letter today and was both delighted and nervous.
What you said, sir, is exactly what I was thinking.
My teacher said that writers fear readers failing to understand their meaning. I believe that those who understand me worry about me, while those who don't ask what I'm trying to achieve. Human emotions have their commonalities and differences. If I write about my inner thoughts and feelings, those who understand me will understand. There's no need to bother or worry about changing the main idea for those who don't.
There are many people in this world who seek to attract attention. I detest their shamelessness and despicableness. I would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings. I feel very lucky to be able to defend you.
Words are short, yet my feelings are deep, and I cannot express even a fraction of what is in my heart. I hope you will write with devotion, and not be disturbed by trivial matters.
It is late at night and quiet. I am leaning against the window listening to the rain. I wonder if you are also listening to the drizzle there.
[Cat's Paw]
After he finished writing, he dipped the cat's paw in ink and printed it at the signature.
Wang Jiazhi received the letter and complained inwardly, saying that the letter was too short and the feelings were too deep, and there was not much written. Instead, she showed off her skills by deliberately changing the font.
I thought to myself, "Your dad even wrote in cursive script."
