"At first, I kept a diary just to cope with the diary homework assigned by the teacher, but writing a diary became a channel for me to vent my feelings and pour out my emotions. I have always insisted on it." Since the third grade of primary school, he has written more than twenty diaries with millions of words.

The accumulation of literary skills is not limited to keeping a diary, but also includes extensive reading. When I was a child, my family subscribed to a newspaper. Children's eyes cut out articles suitable for reading in the newspaper every time, put them into a special book, and read them repeatedly in their spare time. After entering the university, the rich collection of books in Shaw Library provided good conditions for his reading. "My bookshelf is in the library." Every time he goes to the library to borrow books, he will lend out the full amount of books limited by the library card.

Introduction of works

Qin Bird is a long fairy tale written in 20 12, when he was only 22 years old.

Qinbird is a story of animal exploration. By telling the story of Qin Bird and Little White Fish helping each other in their relationship with various animals and humans, the novel promotes the beautiful traditional integrity of the Chinese nation, encourages people to fight bravely, emphasizes the importance of a sense of justice in real life, and conveys the concept of protecting nature and caring for small animals.

Qin Ming, the hero, has successively entered the wildlife world and the human world, witnessed various world scenery and made friends with different styles. In this process, the hero completed his life's growth.

In the book, children's talk gives birds a feeling of truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood and ugliness in the human world, and shows thousands of species in nature. It plays a popular science role while telling children stories of growth and inspiration. Speaking of the source of inspiration for the novel, Tong Yan said that it comes from extensive reading and love for flowers, birds and plants. "Because I like flowers, trees and small animals very much, birds are my favorite. The protagonist of Qin Bird is based on birds in reality. I read a lot of encyclopedias about birds in the library. Looking at those beautiful pictures, I can make up a beautiful story. "

"Actors must play in acting, and so must writing." For children, if the writing time of the whole book is 100 hours, it will take at least 300 hours to conceive. The roof of the No.8 dormitory building of the school is his secret base. Because the idea and writing need a quiet environment, at 9: 00 pm and 10, he pulls the patch panel, connects the laptop and writes on the roof, often for two or three hours.

When he thinks, he will walk up and down on the roof. The child said that every character in the book is like his own child, and he often enters the play: "Sometimes he is like a fool, suddenly crying when he thinks of a sad plot, and laughing when he thinks of an interesting plot." These flowers, grass and birds will form a touching story in his mind.

After reading Qin Bird, you will understand that all the birds in it seem to have become children with distinct personalities. Some are naughty and playful, some are clever and witty, some are glib, some are upright and upright, some are low-key and modest, some are fierce, but they also have a soft heart. ...

Success is no accident. In addition to reading widely and writing wholeheartedly, the children admit that life is the source of all creation. In order to accumulate more creative materials and write excellent children's literature, children's writing has become the king of children. He patiently communicates with the children around him, tells stories, plays games and teaches martial arts, hoping to become friends with them. He used the winter and summer vacations to teach in remote areas and keep in touch with the children, hoping to enter their inner world.

Children's writing in creation is full of passion, while children's writing in life has a wide range of hobbies and a gentle personality.

Writing is just for fun.

Since the first article was published in 2000, Tong Yan has published more than a thousand fairy tales, novels, essays and other works in major journals, totaling1.5000 words. When the reporter asked him if he would make a living by writing, Tong Yan shook his head: "I just regard writing as my interest. I prefer to listen to my inner voice freely, write articles carefree and write something real that children can see and love. "

Tong Yan said: "Writing is just a need for spiritual expression and an emotional catharsis for me. I don't know what I will write in the future. I just write with my hobbies and love for literature and art. "

Now, he has formed a habit. After writing an article, he will read it to his children several times to make sure that they like reading and understanding. In addition to writing for children, he also plays with them, teaches them to practice martial arts and helps them revise their compositions. "Being with children is also my interest. Their innocence deeply touched me. It is a pleasure to write some words to them after work and study. "

User comments: His fairy tales are very beautiful. I come back every year to watch it again. They are really beautiful!

Classmate's evaluation: Tong Yan is a legend. His endurance and perseverance are convincing. He can sit on a stool for hours, writing and reading motionless, completely forgetting everything outside. Every time I hand in my homework, he does it best; Every time he recites the text, he is the one who recites the loudest; Every time I write an article, the teacher always reads it to the class. Every day after school, he is the last person to leave; Every exam, the highest total score is also him.

If you are a child, you keep it. You keep this precious quality on you. No matter what you do and where you go in the future, don't throw away this good thing, it is pure, keep it.

Chinese mainland male host Tu Lei: What is the most difficult literary genre to write in the world? This is a fairy tale. He needs a childlike innocence, an adult brain, vicissitudes and optimistic spirit. So don't think that children's education is simple, but it is not easy to coax children. No! It is more difficult than adult education. Tong Yan, your paperwork is really good. You need some experience to mold it. I wish you better and better!

Children's Prose Xia Guang (1 1 year old)

How beautiful the glow is tonight!

The setting sun sets halfway up the mountain, and the rich sunset glow burns the western sky and casts a red light, which is fascinating.

This light is sprinkled on the tip of the willow, filled with fairy dust, and the willow leaves are crimson. Slight wind glides by, leaves and salads creak, and the glow flashes with the floating wicker and scatters a little. The willows in the morning glow are wonderful and safe.

Xia Guang sprinkled on the high-rise building on the side of the road, emitting bright, sparkling, bright waves like a lighthouse. The white wall turned red, the gray wall turned red and the orange wall turned red. How beautiful! The buildings in Xia Guang are quiet and harmonious.

Xia Guang spilled on every corner and everyone, and everything changed. Everything is drunk.

The setting sun sank slowly, taking back her soft light. Liu Ye slept, the building was quiet, and there were few pedestrians on the road. The hazy Tianhe is getting deeper and deeper, and the noisy day is silent.
