Gu Xijue's "Warm Love" Collection

Chapter 61 I'm always by your side (28)
Epilogue: Destiny due to kindness

"I've Been By Your Side" (hereinafter referred to as "Beside") is my first attempt to create a past life and present life essay. Although there is not much content related to the past life, the process of creation is full of freshness.

Although the article mentions ancient times and clearly states that it is the Southern Song Dynasty, I have to explain that the ancient background of this article has no real historical basis, and there is no textual research to restore the historical style, so you don’t need to delve into it.

But many things in "Besides" do have prototypes-in fact, in each book, I will more or less show some of my real life.

For example, the princess son-in-law temple in "Besides" was inspired by a friend's "family story".

A friend told me a few years ago that her grandma’s hometown was in a mountain in Shaoxing, and the source of her genealogy was a pair of princess and son-in-law who ran out of the court in the Song Dynasty.I asked her what era it was, and the names of people, but she didn't even know it.All she knew was what her dad told her, and her dad listened to her grandma.Passed down from generation to generation, the specific situation has no way of textual research.

Another example is the monk's best friend, who is actually my elementary school classmate.Although I am not familiar with it, I know of a person who aspired to be a monk since he was a child, and later he was admitted to a Buddhist academy and became a master.

Also, I believe in Buddhism, especially in the belief that good deeds are rewarded with good deeds.So I applied this "belief" to Cheng Yuanyuan: one made her give up her life, the other made her kneel for three days and three nights for him; .In short, I have always felt that the good fate we have encountered in this life is all obtained because of kindness.

The book "Besides" was basically created by me in my simple and quiet old home. I happened to finish watching a cycle of four seasons, and then finished it——Yuxi Town, where smoke rises under the sunset, the bustling and ancient town Chongfu Temple, Fu Beichen's red bean tree, Brother Xiaobai's lotus pond, and the garden's good deeds are rewarded with good deeds... they all have been explained clearly.

In this life, Fu Liu has achieved consummation, and in the next life, when he waits for her by the lotus pond, the one who proposes to her may be Brother Xiaobai.Who knows?
In the end, I have to admit that "Besides" is much smoother than the previous stories, without so many twists and turns.Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I'm getting more and more reluctant to torment people.Although there were many difficulties in the creation process, I finally finished this long-conceived work before I was 30 years old.As for whether it can satisfy you, I just wait for you to tell me.
