Hey there, young readers!
Have you ever felt like writing in your journal helps you deal with your feelings? 📓 Well, that’s exactly what happened to a famous Chinese author named Mai Jia!
Mai Jia is known for his exciting spy novels like “Decoded” and “The Message“. But did you know that writing these stories helped him make peace with his own past? 🤔
He once said, “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.” 🌟
What does “reconciliation” mean? It’s a big word that means making peace after a disagreement or feeling better about something that was bothering you.
Mai Jia believes that books and stories can help people understand each other better. “With humility and sincerity, the world should not be as full of conflict, misunderstanding, and even war as it is now,” he said. 💖
Isn’t it amazing how writing and reading can touch the “most sensitive and tender of human hearts”? Maybe next time you’re feeling upset, you could try writing a story or a poem! ✍️
