I still remember when "The Great Rancher of America" was first published in March 2016. That day was rushed—I only released three chapters, and for someone with clumsy hands, it took eight hours to finish writing them.

The initial reception averaged over six hundred subscriptions, gradually growing to more than eight thousand. Given more time, surpassing ten thousand subscriptions wouldn’t have been impossible. Nearly two thousand chapters later, every increase in subscriptions was hard-earned.

"The Rancher" was banned for a month, which had a significant impact. Feeling that I had said all I needed to say, I then wrote this book, "Born in Chinatown." Occasionally, when I think of Fat Cat and Fat Ding, I can’t help but smile.

One person is rich for three generations; another is poor for three generations. Compared to Han Xuan's extravagant lifestyle, Su Mu’s life feels more authentic—marginalization, discrimination, rare chances to rise up. The process is inevitably oppressive, but isn’t that just life?

My storytelling pace is slow, aiming for detailed descriptions. Because of this, it lacks the typical thrills found in beginner or harem novels, which are already abundant. I believe the world doesn’t need another one like me, so I prefer to write something different. Fast-paced stories have their excitement; slow ones have their own charm.

I started writing in college and have been a full-time writer since graduation. Fortunately, with all your support, life has been manageable. Last year, I was fortunate enough to leave the ranks of the single, and recently I’ve been accompanying my girlfriend as she studies in Jinling.

This is the third time the book is about to be published.

After last time’s failure, I’m somewhat nervous. I hope for your continued support and am grateful to editor Winnie for the consistent strong recommendations.

Let me give you some motivation to subscribe. Just now, I thought about it—given my writing speed, one monthly subscription with five additional chapters is my limit. Recently, many readers have also asked me to write extras for "The Great Rancher."

So, tomorrow’s release plan is:

1. One monthly subscription plus five additional chapters, stretching out a bit but definitely finishing within a month.

2. For every thousand new subscribers, I will write one extra chapter of "The Great Rancher," rounding as appropriate.

Tonight at midnight, I will release five chapters; there will be more during the day. By April, there will be at least 250,000 words. If I don’t finish, I’ll kneel before a durian.

Subscription bonuses, monthly ticket bonuses, and the like will be announced in detail in a few days. Meanwhile, I need to keep writing as fast as I can. That’s all for now. Thank you all for your support. Many thanks…
