The Bow-Backed Sword Shines Through the Frost, and the Autumn Wind Blows the Horse Out of Xianyang

The bow-backed rosy clouds shine on the sword, and the autumn wind rides out of Xianyang

When I met Zhiqiu, everyone called him Sister Qiu. At that time, I was writing the Master's Notes. One night, Zhiqiu found my QQ and told me that he admired my book and pulled me into his book club.

Then he said, damn, you are not a girl? I said, damn, you are not Sister Qiu either?

This happened fourteen years ago.

In 2015, I came to Chengdu alone. Just after I settled down, it was Mid-Autumn Festival. I thought Zhiqiu was in Leshan, which was quite close, so why not go and meet him.

I got off the train and Zhiqiu came to pick me up. I found out that he was actually a 1.8-meter-tall man. He took me to his house and cooked a few dishes for me. There was a plate of sweet-skinned duck and a plate of garlic moss fried bacon. I don't remember the rest.

He was a generous and enthusiastic person with a wide range of friends. He had the legacy of an ancient gentleman. If it was during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he would have been full of retainers.

In this era, he is also a rare good man.

I am good at internal friction and cannot write any heroic characters. The reason why this book writes about swordsmen is because Zhiqiu is the prototype of Zeng Jianqiu. He is a perfect template of swordsmen and has all the good qualities of swordsmen.

Zhiqiu has his own unique perception and views on life and the world. He often says that his personality is not naturally formed - "I used to have the same personality as you", and he slowly healed and corrected himself to become what he is now.

I shed some tears after hearing the bad news, but now when I write these things, I suddenly realize that it is a bit redundant.

I used to be very afraid of death, afraid of nothingness and non-existence after death, afraid that everything I have experienced in this life is empty and meaningless after death.

But Zhiqiu believes that death is not the end of everything. Life is just a projection of the "I" in a higher dimension. The decay of the body is just a return to that "I", not nothingness.

If someone wants to ask what he thought at the last moment, based on some evidence, I think he felt liberated and free at the time. For him, this may not be a sad tragedy, but a brave rush towards a new world.

So there is no need to dwell on the details, nor to be overly mournful.

In addition, Zhiqiu's family will not launch any online activities to collect gifts or raise funds in Zhiqiu's name, and we hope everyone will understand.
