The writer "Nian Mingyue" was promoted again. What did he do right?

In my impression, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was written for middle school students, so after that age, I had no intention of picking up this book and reading it until I saw the history book. On the book list, this book ranked first with absolutely high ratings, so I decided to take a look.

As a result, once I started reading, I couldn't stop. The history written by this man is not only fluent and very easy to read, but the most important thing is that it always runs through the pursuit of benevolence, justice and conscience.

I thought that Mingyue was a full-time writer, but I read an article yesterday and found out that his job is a civil servant, and he was recently proposed to be the deputy director of the Shanghai Information Office and a deputy bureau-level cadre. .

When he first started writing, he was a young man in his 20s and a grassroots civil servant. His boss's evaluation of him is that he has average ability and doesn't like to talk much, while his colleagues' impression of him is that he is a good person. In short, this is a little person who is not very conspicuous in the unit.

So, when his work became popular, it shocked the leaders and colleagues. No one expected that the insignificant young man next to him could have such abilities.

At that time, with his talent and fame, he could have chosen to write full-time. But he still lives the same life as before, going to work during the day and coding at night. During the last talk show, he still asked for leave from his work unit according to regulations.

He really regarded writing as his own pleasure, and he did not write for self-pleasure, but for a simple wish: to write a relaxing and beautiful historical story book.

With such a wish, he started writing in the "History of Cooking Wine" section on the Tianya Forum in 2006. He uploaded three articles on time every day, relying on his sincere feelings and unique narrative , the click rate exceeded one million in less than two months, and at that time, the total number of Internet users in the country was only 100 million.

While the fledgling Nian Mingyue was recognized by a large number of readers, it was jealous of several "big writers" who had established a foothold on the forum at that time. They all accused Nian Mingyue's writing of "destroying They even questioned his fake click-through rate, and later went on to covertly slander his character. In that disgraceful "literary war", hundreds of thousands of words that Mingyue worked hard to serialize were deleted.

However, he did not choose to give up writing because of this incident. He always maintained restraint and simply said, "I can't do anything about the Internet. I just want to write quietly and let my articles speak."

So he moved to another platform and continued to write his historical story for three years. In the past three years, countless publishers came to us and wanted to publish this book, but Mingyue rejected them one by one because "they just wanted to make the students believe that there are free things in the world." Until very soon. Later, he compiled the contents into a book.

Writing a book and becoming famous became a turning point in Mingyue's career. Later, he was transferred from a low-level civil servant at the customs to the General Administration of Customs, and then promoted all the way to the current deputy bureau-level cadre.

As soon as the news of his promotion came out, many netizens expressed their congratulations to him, because everyone saw a writer's original intention and persistence from his words and experiences.

He has not lost himself because of the popularity. He has always lived a simple and simple life as an ordinary person. He has not doubted himself because of others' rejection, and has always worked quietly in his own field. , after the waves are gone, whether it is a hero or a bubble, time will tell us the answer.

This society is too complex and human nature is rich and changeable. How to make the choice to stick to our hearts throughout our long life is a topic we all face.

"The Doctrine of the Mean" says: "The creatures of heaven must be sincere because of their talents." Everyone has their own talents. If you find the right direction and keep going, God will take care of you. I saw the interpretation of this sentence in Mingyue back then.

Finally, this article ends with the words from his book:

“There is only one success—to live life in your own way.
