His life philosophy is, "In a small town, don't do anything big." Writing in a big city, for example, you have to worry about the pressure of all kinds of critics. But in a small town you can get published in the local paper. It doesn't pay a lot, but it's enough, and no one tells you what to do.
他的生活哲學是「在小鎮不做大事」，以寫作來說，在城市寫作，必須承受各種評論帶來的焦慮；在小鎮寫作，登在小報上發表，稿費不多不少，也沒人說三道四，最自在。
