Chapter 41

Following that literary exchange, he realized that true creation was not merely about chasing external stimuli and mysterious forces, but rather about excavating the endless treasures deep within the human heart. He decided to invest more time and energy into exploring his own inner self, in order to display more authentic and profound emotions through his writing. He began reading books in psychology, philosophy, and anthropology, attempting to understand the inner world of humanity from different perspectives. He communicated with people from all walks of life, listening to their stories and feeling their emotions. He even incorporated psychological counseling scenes into his works, using the characters in his stories to explore his own inner world and the inner worlds of others. Such exploration was not entirely smooth sailing. He frequently fell into deep contemplation, pondering the complexity and contradictions of human nature. He felt confused and pained, but he never gave up. He believed that only through such exploration could he create works that truly touched people's hearts.
