A

In a classroom in Shenzhen, a young boy named Xu Weixuan often dreamed about the future. While his friends talked about games, Xu was busy creating stories about spaceships and faraway planets. No one knew that this quiet boy was about to become a young writer.

It all started in primary school. Xu spent many hours after class writing. He filled notebook after notebook. His hard work finally paid off—a 260,000-word science fiction novel titled Meteor was published. One exciting day, a letter arrived. He had won a third-class prize in a national writing competition! This success brought great joy to him and showed that his dream was achievable.

During these moments, he turned to the internet for research, and his mother was always there with a cup of milk and encouraging words, helping him organize his thoughts.

His curiosity grew beyond writing. He started learning about real space science and even won a prize in the National Youth Space Innovation (创新) Competition. This experience connected his imagination with real-world science, making his new book, Flying to the Moon, even richer.
