Creative background
"The Ordinary World" began in 1975. Lu Yao spent three years preparing and three years creating. In order to expand his horizons and master the information, he did a lot of He read nearly a hundred novels, newspapers and other related books for nearly ten years, and lived a life of "morning starts at noon". At the same time, he also traveled to all walks of life to experience life.
The writing of the first draft began in a remote coal mine hospital. From his creative essay "Morning Starts at Noon" we can see his persistent confidence in the literary career and the price he paid: " Writing enters a complete state of frenzy. The body almost disappears; life seems to be a purely spiritual form, and daily life becomes robotic."
The first draft of the second part was written in a remote small county in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau. Because of his irregular life, Lu Yao was severely overdrafted and finally fell ill. Later, after taking more than a hundred decoctions, his body recovered slightly. He relied on a spiritual force to continue writing.
The first draft of the third part was changed to Yulin Hotel. On May 25, 1988, Lu Yao finally completed all creation of "The Ordinary World".
