Chapter 2517: About the little boy

About the little boy

From the end of April, after the Earthquake Relief, the little boy appeared, and it continued until the end of the year, when it was finally decided to keep this plot going.

At first it was intermittent; the little boy became part of Zheng Lao Ban's nightly QQ status updates. This is a very old anecdote; the earliest I recall is over ten years ago, when someone mentioned it in the Tianya Lianpong Ghost Tales.

After it appeared for a while, Teacher Shen one day called me and asked what was going on with this plot. I said, the little boy had already died.

Teacher Shen said, life is hard, readers are already tired; they just want to be entertained. Why are you making the plot so heavy? This is web fiction—don't be literary, don't be literary!

That makes sense, but readers keep asking about this meme—what exactly happened in the end?

It was a coincidence, or perhaps due to longing, and finally there was a response. To wrap up the leopard's tail, I opened this section, expanding what was originally just a little anecdote and changing the plot involving Director Pan.

Basically, humanity's struggle against the inevitable laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death is doomed to fail.

I just looked at the comment section—some reader's relative had passed away……silent. A few days ago……never mind, better not say it. Thinking about parting and death, my emotions are a mess; I deleted a lot from the single chapter I had written.

I will try to write this plot as bright and sunny as possible.

As above, that's it.
