One
In the beginning, it was easy to think of what to write.
Later, there was a bottleneck in my thinking and it was difficult to continue.
At that time, I had an idea about what to write.
When I continuously gave up my own thinking,
I started to consider what others would like to read.
I found that everyone wanted to read different things.
However, I knew I could not cater to others blindly.
And then, I had one firm thought: I should write to validate Falun Dafa.
Now, I am thinking in terms of what the future people should know.
Therefore, keeping truthfulness, compassion and forbearance in my heart,
I want to inaugurate the future with ordinary people's words.
Flowery language and fancy diction does not matter. A pure voice freely flows from my heart.
Two
In the beginning, the thoughts were original—beyond the scope of common people's notions.
I found I harbored the desire to show off and a false sense of self-righteousness.
It was zealotry and the show-off mentality.
I ended up meticulously embellishing my writing with poetic diction.
However, I did not tell people the truth, which is what a life really needs.
Later, I realize it would be best if I directly speak from the depth of my heart.
From my heart—isn't this telling readers the magnificence of Falun Dafa?
Three
In the beginning, I only wrote.
Later, I found the articles filled with notions.
In the beginning, I only wrote.
Later, I found the desire to write from within.
But, behind this desire was human emotion.
Later, I still kept writing
Because I thought, "It is my mission."
Hence, I continued writing.
Now, I still continue writing.
I continue telling the people of the world the truth of Dafa.
This is still a novice heart!
Four
In the beginning, I exaggerated thoughts and emotionalized verses.
Later, I felt I should stress the beauty of the words.
It's just like wearing beautiful clothes: Dafa Disciples should show their best side.
Later, someone reminded me that the inner meaning was more important.
I thought about it very seriously
I feel both meaning and presentation are important.
As a Dafa practitioner,
I should write better.
Five
The simpler the writing, the easier to understand.
Don't use specialized jargon.
There is no need for complicated concepts or to coax the reader.
I only write benevolently and whisper pure insights to the world.
Then, both literary style and diction changed—
No literary level and no style—not a bad thing.
When they see it, they understand.
Every word penetrates the heart.
Six
To write about others.
To help others write.
To help those practitioners who cannot write.
To leave cultivation stories for the people of the world.
Seven
In Fa-rectification, writing can expose the evil and tell the truth.
Evil fears just this exposure.
Therefore, our writing probably exposes the evil.
As long as we show people the truth we can write in any way.
This is a manifestation of compassion.
Eight
The wish to write is the ability to write.
We stand in a high watchtower above humanity.
Isn't all of what we write compassion for everyday people?
I should write diligently.
I shall take responsibility for my words and sentences.
These are my thoughts.
