Renowned novelist Mai Jia, celebrated as a forerunner of Chinese espionage fiction, reveals how writing became a healing journey. Best known for bestsellers like "Decoded" and "The Message," he shared that creative expression helped him reconcile with unresolved tensions from his childhood and hometown. 😊
"There was a time when I couldn't write about my hometown because of unresolved tension. The day I became willing to write about it was, in itself, a reconciliation," he explained in an exclusive interview with CGTN.
He believes that literature can touch the "most sensitive and tender of human hearts," encouraging us to embrace humility. With sincerity, Mai envisions a world with less conflict, misunderstanding, and even war. ❤️
In today's fast-paced world, his reflections remind us that reconnecting with our roots can transform personal challenges into opportunities for growth and unity.
