: A New Year’s letter to book friends

A letter to book friends in the New Year

Jade Rabbit brings blessings and good luck, and Basho here wishes all book friends: health, safety, joy and success in the new year.

The book will be published on March 2, 2022. In fact, I have been thinking about the title for almost a month.

If you think of one, you will be shot down by the editor. If you don't have a good title, you won't give me the text. I really want to take a big bite out of the editor. Ha ha…

In the end, it gave me a lot of inspiration, so I came up with the book "Battle to the Rich".

Last year, I was fortunate enough to meet all of you, and I got all kinds of support from you, likes, comments, bugs, recommendation votes, monthly votes, rewards, rewards for characters, etc. There are also strong support from friends on other stations. Because I can’t see everyone’s name, I can’t express my thanks. I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone for your support.

Basho is grateful.

Zhan Zhumen is inseparable from the support of all friends. Although sometimes when I read the comments, I occasionally feel bad and have emotional ups and downs, but I can't help but secretly read it. After reading everyone's comments, I realized my own shortcomings, which prompted Basho to correct and improve.

Every comment is because you care about it, and every word you type is because of love. Only after reading the article will you fall in love, just like watching a child who is not up to date, you will type all kinds of comments. Basho would like to thank every book friend who wrote a review. thank you all.

Bajiao’s writing power is insufficient, and her coding speed is also slow. She always has to ponder over the story repeatedly, type in the details repeatedly, and check and revise the coded words repeatedly. That's it, there are still a lot of typos, thanks to the friends who helped Basho catch bugs. Love you guys.

Regarding everyone’s urging for updates, Basho has never done it, nor has there been a real violent update, and I am ashamed of everyone’s support. I hope that the coding speed will be faster and more diligent in the coming year, and I will not be lazy at every turn. Haha... Especially when it comes to weekends, I want to be glued to the bed. Ha ha…

Every interaction with everyone moved Basho. That meeting was blocked because of the mask, so I didn't make any preparations, and the house lacked everything. My face was allergic, itchy and red, with red lumps and lumps, and I couldn't buy cosmetics and medicines, so I cried anxiously. Everyone left messages to suggest which medicine to use and how to deal with it, saying that they had the same experience.

It feels very warm. It made me feel that I am not alone working hard in a strange city, I am very touched and love you all.

If there is anything particularly interesting this year that I would like to share with you, it is the thank you list. That was so much fun.

Basho used the keyboard to type out the thank you list word by word.

It takes at least two hours to make a thank you list. I can code a chapter or two. Basho began to think of shortcuts.

Later, I found out that word documents have a voice input. Then try to input by voice.

But voice input, you know, whoever uses it will know.

For example, if you have a friend named "Zhang Jie", read it to the computer, and it will say "Zhang Jie". There are also "Yanting", "Jian Lin", "Nurse Adang"... Every time this happens, you will find that our Chinese characters are extensive and profound, and there are so many homophones, which are similar in pronunciation!

No matter how many times you read it, it just won’t obediently give you the words you want.

Then you have to change it manually. This change is not as fast as typing. (Pruning mouth~ Tucao... Cursing!)

There are also English letters in the name plus Chinese, plus capital and small letters plus symbols, such as "Xiaohui", "垣子_aE"...

When the voice input can be accurate enough to display the names of such various elements on the document, don’t forget to tell Basho.

There are still many friends whose names have both simplified and traditional characters. Some Basho can recognize the traditional characters, such as "Jinling 888" and "Qianli Qinshu".

When encountering traditional characters, I can’t type them out (the stupid author uses Wubi to type), so I can only ask Du Niang for help. Search for the traditional characters of the word, and then copy and paste it. This operation, one second, two seconds, three seconds... many seconds passed.

There are also some friends with several traditional characters in their names, and they are often characters that Basho does not know.

Every time I knock, I want to curse. Ha ha…

(Even if there are no symbols, you can display this friend’s name on the document in a voice-prepared way! I will definitely pay for it then. Hmph.)

There is also a friend's name, the "Jing" in the middle of "Symbol+Jing+Symbol" is still a variant of Jing. I've never been able to type the name. Baidu's heart-shaped map number, the result came out a bunch, but none of them matched.

I want to say sorry to this friend here. It’s not that I missed your name, but I remember your name very well. It’s the stupid author who can’t type this name. (But it is indicated in the list)

cry…

But voice isn't without its benefits. To say that voice recording is faster than typing on the keyboard, only numbers. Friends who are too lazy to pick a nickname are all a long string of numbers.

Voice recording is fast and accurate. At this time, I can’t wait for everyone’s name to be a long string of numbers, haha...

So friends like "Who is my Queen Mother" and "Small Chick" voted for monthly tickets several times in a month, as long as I typed the name, I would remember it, and I would not type it twice. But with a long list of numbers, I can't tell whether it has appeared before, so I will read it again for anyone who votes again. The list will be repeated.

So now I use the combination of typing on the keyboard and voice recording. In a hurry, I have to change the keyboard to change the voice, change Wubi to change Pinyin, switch between Chinese and English, and change capitalization...

Although the pronunciation is very weak, but the number is fast, so the speed has to be improved a lot. A thank you list can be entered in about an hour and a half. Although the time is not short, but compared to everyone's support for Basho, Basho is willing to call on everyone's name and keep everyone's name in his heart.

With an ever grateful heart.

I also want to thank the friends who have been voting for recommendations. The friends who insist on voting every day are the deep love for Basho and the greatest support for "Fighting the Rich". There are too many lists to type out.

Basho bows to you.

By typing everyone's names, Basho found that many friends chose names with unique characteristics and ideas, which gave Basho a lot of inspiration. Basho learned a lot from choosing names and setting passwords.

I babbled so much without realizing it.

The time is now at 9:36 am on January 15, 2023. Basho typed this New Year speech at Terminal 2 of Pudong Airport.

Shanghai is raining and snowing today. When I arrived at the airport, I saw a lot of snow. I haven’t seen it for many years. You can imagine that I originally flew at 8:00 in the morning, and got up early in the morning, and got up before 5:00, but for some reason, I had to change the flight to 12:00! That sense of collapse.

It’s the kind of visual sense of waking up early and catching up on the late episode. (Ah! The groundhog is calling~)

I had no choice but to find a corner in KFC on the second floor to pass the time and silently typed this testimonial. I don’t know when it will be posted to the article. There is no broadband port in the village, and I use hotspots to share. Can you imagine the speed of the Internet in the village for half a day to read a news? I have to carry a computer to town to use. I was very worried.

I originally wanted to write a chapter, but anyone who has been to the airport knows that the terminal building is noisy and there are no tables. This KFC has a lot of empty seats, but the music is so loud that it seems like the electricity bill is free. I had no inspiration whatsoever. My head is empty, and I can't piece together a plot.

I babbled so much again. Scroll up, oh my god, I wrote so much nonsense. I was probably too bored waiting for the plane.

This book will be concluded after the next year, and the new article is already being conceived. It will be launched in late February and early March, but the title I named is really useless. If you can't get a good title, you don't know when it will be online.

In the next book, I look forward to seeing every familiar new and old friend, and look forward to continuing to walk with you all the way.

"You know the rain at night through the window, and the plantains have their voices first." Thousands of words, gathered into a sentence of the most sincere thanks.

Thank you, fellow book lovers, for always supporting "War Rich Men" in the Year of the Tiger, and Basho is often touched by you. grateful. May each of you, in 2023, have a happy and safe family, and whatever you want, your dreams will come true.

Finally, I wish everyone: everything goes well in the Year of the Rabbit, and the new year is better than the old one!

Basho Ye Xiyu
