Levin, whose real name is Xu Ruhong. In Taiwan Province Province, he was the editor-in-chief of China Daily, and later joined United Newspaper. Liu Changping, the editor-in-chief, has an eye for pearls and asked Levin to write the novel Biography of Li Wa, which exposed Levin's talent in this field and made him embark on the road of historical novel creation.

Levin is very dedicated. When writing historical novels, he often measured the map with a ruler, calculated the journey of the characters in the book and the time needed for the development of things on the draft paper, trying to make his novels stand the test of readers from all directions forever and never make subjective assumptions. Hao Tianxia, Levin's ex-wife, said: "Mr. Levin's skills in writing historical novels, as well as his efforts and unique insights in studying historical materials before and during writing, are really different. When he conceives a new book, he doesn't necessarily draw up a neat structure first, as many people do when writing articles. Instead, I often take a thin piece of paper with me, write down the outline, and then just like making wine. Over time, when the paper is wrinkled and covered with cursive characters that others can't recognize, it shows that his thinking is mature and he can start writing. Levin is quite proud of his' research eye', but this is also the result of his employment. "

Levin is not a narcissistic "tower writer", but a person similar to a former storyteller and a spokesman for ordinary people. Through the political career and private life of Li Shimin, Li Houzhu, Qianlong, Cixi, Tongzhi and Guangxu, we can not only see the court life as a manifestation of human nature, but also understand the public opinion that existed before and the modern people's views and comments on them.

When Taiwan Province critic Wei Tiancong compared Levin to Balzac of China, Levin once said humorously, "I'm so ashamed! I am similar to Balzac, but I got married late. " Levin married Miss Hao Tianxia at the age of 49. After the marriage, all two houses under Hao Tianxia's name were lent to Levin to pay off debts. Debt has been with Levin like a shadow, and his marriage has failed. Levin later had a confidante named Wu Jufen. After they lived together, his life became regular again. Get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and spend the whole day writing and reading, sometimes writing all night to catch up with work. Then let Wu Jufen prepare a snack for him.

Levin's celebrity is romantic, entertaining himself with poetry, chatting with friends of three or five, and staying up late at night, even staying up all night, which is his greatest pleasure. Sitting alone in the room and drinking slowly under the light is also his favorite artistic conception.

Hu Xueyan's Biography, Cixi's Biography, A Dream of Red Mansions, etc. Aroused great interest of readers. 10 years ago, he finished the last journey of his life. Friends said elegantly, "A poet should beware of prosperity, poetry, wine and romantic Li Taibai. I have learned to write many books, ancient and modern Yin Jian and Luo Guanzhong. "
