Wang Anyi's famous story: Everlasting Regret (GMW.cn) |
Wang said that she always writes about nobodies, for the "big potatoes" could be written by history. Before creating a novel, she has not set any kind of spirit or thoughts through her words beforehand. When she meets someone who happens to inspire much of her memory and accumulation, she knows that it is what she wants. Writing has become a part of her life, on one hand, the status of professional writer demands her to do better; on the other hand, since she has written for years, writing has gradually blended in her life, like eating and sleeping.
