不是十全十美，在我的世界，却是唯一的珍宝。 不管我心里翻涌起多少愤世嫉俗的怨念，无处排遣。只要看见你，就像看见了光。你让我心中所有微小的声音都在外部世界找到确切的落点。 如此真实，如此笃定。 这本文集，起名《笃定》是因为，其中的每个短篇都在讨论人物内心世界与外部世界产生冲突后的出路，这个集子中所展示的正确的选择多为一种对自我的可贵坚持。 我们每个人都渴望成为睿智有担当的成人，但在社会上找到自己的合适位置却又往往困难。在写作中，我在努力尝试着寻求社会与个人、理性与感性、主观与客观之间的平衡，如果大家也能从主人公们身上找到自己，从他们的生活经历中悟出对自己实现社会认知与自我认知、建立个人身份与人生价值有所帮助的一点东西，对写作者而言，这便是最幸福的事。
