Hei Tu broke his word one last time. He said the book would be finished yesterday, but it ended up being an hour late.
There was indeed a reason for it. This afternoon, my wife's younger brother was in a car accident. He was injured when an overturned tractor crushed him, and his condition was rather serious. Hei Tu went to take him to the hospital and handled all sorts of things until midnight. It was already past ten when I got back and started writing, so I was late.
Let's talk about this book. The Era of All-People Evolution took more than a year to write, spanning over four million words, and it has finally come to an end.
A lot happened during that time. I was criticized and cursed at, but of course, there was also a great deal of support. You could say I made it through with both joy and sorrow.
But there are some things I really should mention. While I was writing, Mother fell ill, and many readers gave me help. Later, my wife also had problems, suffering from some anxiety and depression, which put a great deal of pressure on me as well.
Over the past six months, I've gone to the hospital nearly more often than I've gone home.
I supported the family by myself. Many times, I truly felt like I couldn't hold on anymore. My readers, I really owe so much to all of you.
Hei Tu doesn't like saying overly sentimental things. After all, I'm a grown man; saying that kind of thing makes me feel a little melodramatic.
I'm grateful to all of you. I'll remember it in my heart and repay you with better writing, instead of rambling on with empty words and getting nothing done.
