A

I had always thought of my dad as a magician. With his pen， he brought my childhood friends to life and developed brave characters. It wasn’t long before he put a pen into my hands and told me to create my own stories. The world was a big place， but my dad made it bigger. That was until the magician himself was defeated （打败）.

Cancer caught up with him and soon the world’s mightiest hero had to take a break. My world of imagination was on the verge of collapsing （崩溃） as I watched my dad’s bright energy fade away. I refused to take any of it. It was too soon and too sudden.

The truth could not be ignored when one morning， my mother had to break the news. My dad had only three months to live. It was at that moment that I felt the world my dad had built was destroyed. I put my pen down and never picked it up.

Until one day， my dad sat me down. I was afraid of having to talk to him. I couldn’t bear looking him in the eye. What was possibly there to say to a dying man？ But what he said was not what I expected. “Nu Nu，” he started， “I want to start a new project.” Then he began talking to me about his plan to write a new story and publish it online. Filling me in on his story， the characters， and this whole new world he had just recently thought up， he turned to me and asked， “Will you help me？” Without a pause， I said yes.

You see， my dad was on the brink of death， if I may be so honest. But that did not stop him. And it should not stop me either. That night， I took out my notebook and picked up my pen once more.
