Young Master Liem

Epilogue and the creative process of writing this novel

The day is Sin Cia or Chinese New Year celebration in 1932. No time has passed two years since Wan Siang met The Sweet. Loves the grief has been passed together, until they live happily with the presence of Jade Ling.

All the members of the Liem family and the daughter-in-law gathered at the house of Mr and Mrs Liem. The greatest happiness on Lunar New Year's day is when the whole family gets together, but there are other things that make the new year so special.

Siaw Cing and Antony Gwie have been best friends for several months. As promised, Antony often took Siaw Cing for a walk and adventure around the city in his car. Siaw Cing finally believed that the young man was actually a good person.

Siaw Cing has been introduced to his parents and it turns out that Mr and Mrs Gwie are good people. Although rich, they choose to look modest and like charity.

They both liked Siaw Cing who was plain and what he was, and were sure that the girl would be a good wife for her eldest son. The values of the Gwie family taught to Antony made the young man not glare with one's outward appearance.

At Sin Cia that time, Siaw Cing presented Antony Gwie in front of all members of the Liem family.

Everyone in the room has been informed of Antony's background by Mrs. Liem told it excitedly. So they don't have to ask Antony or Siaw Cing themselves any more.

“On this day, I want to announce, if... in three months we will get married, of course we will undergo the application process first,” said Siaw Cing.

“As a prospective new member of the Liem family, I beg for his guidance,” Antony said.

Everyone was happy because Siaw Cing's marriage was certainly the most awaited for everyone. Siaw Cing is a lucky girl, because it can captivate the oldest boy of the Gwie family.

The missed period is certainly a difficult time for the Liem family company. Despite the cuts here and there, the Liem family company does not seem to be able to survive, because the price of sugar is getting worse, because it is difficult to sell abroad even though the supply continues to come.

But because the Liem family has close and caring family members, coupled with good connections, their company can keep going, even if it has to change direction.

Siaw Cing and Antony Gwie eventually get married, and the Gwie family provides a good solution to Liem's family problems. That is cooperation in establishing a cigarette factory with the trademark “Walet Fly”. NV derivative cigarette company. Gwie Ting Tjiang, but with cigarette products at a cheaper price than their main product, namely cigarettes brand “Kapal Lajar.” That way, the Liem family can still survive in the era of the difficult misses.

Life itself is an art of survival, and the role of the family is certainly very large so that everyone can survive, then out of all the difficulties and trials of life. No matter what difficulties occur, both in the present and the future, the family always plays an important role in solving problems. Surely a loving family and its members care for each other.

Thank you and the creative process of the novel:

Thanks to all the readers who have faithfully followed this novel since the beginning, even all who have read my work since writing “Back girl Nippon”. This novel could not have ended without the support of all of you.

I really had some ups and downs in writing this novel. Of course I write not always in a happy state, but also sad for one reason or another. All I remember is, I had to keep writing for the sake of the readers who are still loyal and always support me.

However, this novel helped me to survive in the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak. On my own home block there are 3 houses whose residents are affected by this virus, out of a total of 12 existing homes. Six people tested positive and one of them died, without us being able to serve him. It's really sad, actually.

What else can I do but try to survive the virus? One of them is by writing a story that makes me happy, because I can only rely on immunity as the main weapon against the virus. In addition, I regularly consume vitamin D3 and eat nutritious foods.

The year 2020 which he said was dark and full of problems did make me sad and depressed. But because of that I found a turning point, which is that I can work and that is enough to make me happy. The feeling of sadness is certainly there because life is still very difficult, but because of writing, I do not pay so much attention to bad news, he said, which is very good for my mental health and body condition in this pandemic era.

I myself was moved to see myself finish two novels in the pandemic era, an achievement I had never achieved. Of course this has nothing to do with the number of views, likes or even income.

The most important thing is the feeling of happiness I get from writing, so that I can continue to survive until now. Also because I can transfer the knowledge I have to the readers. Sharing knowledge is a fun thing, which makes me happy.

The story of Young Master Liem began from my encounter with a man surnamed Liem, who willingly told the story of his life when young had become a bookie. From the stories that he told, I took some parts, adding and subtracting so that the intertwining story that I expected.

Then to J, an accountant from one of the largest companies in Indonesia, who is very good at playing the piano and has a high artistic taste, friendly and kind. Thank you for the curses all along, so I can write a character named Sun Kwan.

Also to R, my friend who since childhood went to school and studied in Europe, and now has returned to be a commissioner of a construction company. Your bringing inspired me to write a character named Antony Gwie.

A friend of the author in Noveltoon named Xiao Lien who has now disappeared somewhere, because of your support and encouragement, I was a bit less active writing, so it can be up every day. So many things you do for me, that I'm not down and excited.

Do you promise to read young master Liem's novel until it's over? I wrote this novel to the end, one of which is so you can stop by, whether it leaves a trail or just be a ghoib reader. I want you not to be curious about the ending of this novel. And may you be satisfied with the ending.

The question that is often thrown to me of course is, “Kak, whose visual Wan Siang?”

Well this is the beginning I want to write Young Master Liem, because I am interested in a Taiwanese actor who has been a K-pop trainee in Korea, his name is Wang Yibo.

Seeing Wang Yibo, who is handsome and very talented, can act, so MC, sing, dance, skateboard, and also a motorcycle racer, I want to learn his nature. So yes, I did a small character study on the unique nature of Wang Yibo, from many of the videos about him that I watched.

I see a lot of readers who like the visuals of Wan Siang, so in the next novel, I will still use the visuals for my main character. So. thank you Wang Yibo, you are my MUSE and my inspiration. Muse here means a figure that really inspires someone to produce work.

It is incomplete if I do not tell anyone who I choose to visual:

Daylight: Wang Yibo

The Sweet One: Prisia Nasution

Sun Kwan: Kim Dong - Hee

Siaw Cing: Kim Da Mi's

Miss Hu: Chae Soo Bin

Antony Gwie: Lee Jong Suk

Must be curious about the next story Kak Otor....

Since I've written two historical novels that drain my brain, let me write a story this time with a present setting. As challenging as I am, can I also write about the present as well as write with the past setting.

A psychological novel, about a young man named Michivery Strevino who experiences Oedipus complex syndrome, which is a man who has a tendency to like women who are older than him.

The story begins when Michi meets a woman named Fany who is 10 years older than him, so it is appropriate to be called Aunty by Michi.

There will definitely be readers who ask, “When will Thor release?”.

Wait for the next announcement, which is clear this novel is not removed from the favorite list first, so you can get notifications.

The end of the word thank you for all who have liked, commented, voted or just as a reader ghoib whose number is displayed as the number of views. Without all of you, Mr. Otor could not have survived and been sane until now
