( C ) In 2015, Zhang We, better known by his pen name, Tang Jia San Shao, earned ￥110 million, about ＄16.8 million at the same time, according to China Daily. “I love writing, and I’m born with the ability of writing,” Zhang said in an interview. Zhang first started writing in February 2004, when he was 23. He was working as a website engineer at the same time. Before that, he also worked for CCTV.com. He wanted to write a fantasy novel about magic and light because there weren’t many novels at the time that talked about this theme. That became his first novel, “Child of Light”. At the time, online literature in China was still in its early stage of development. Most people who were writing online back then were writing for fun. A lot of writers didn’t finish their novels, so it was difficult to follow the stories. As a reader, Zhang didn’t like reading these incomplete novels. So when he started to write, he updated his stories every day. That way, he made sure that his readers could get something new every day. A lot of people ask Zhang Wei how he’s become so successful. He only does one thing, which is to give his readers new work every day. He’s done this every day for the last 12 years. This is really very difficult to achieve.
