"I feel unwell and weak recently, so the update will be postponed to New Year's Day." I wrote this message, followed by an emoji of "-".On February 27th, 2114, after Shenliu left the last message, there was no news.

After New Year's Day, readers found that the diligent author had not updated it on time. Later, it was discovered that no one had contacted him since Christmas. After several days of searching, friends from Deep Stream confirmed that the cartoonist who had been missing for nearly half a month died suddenly in the rental house. "The scene was terrible." On October 11, Deep Stream's funeral was held in Huidong. At the funeral, there were editors who came from Beijing overnight, and fans from various places. They were loyal readers of Deep Stream. Some of them had known Deep Stream for many years and met him several times. They used to call Deep Stream Big, which is the abbreviation of "Deep Stream God". "Liuda is very lonely, and we want to send him the last journey." The remains were cremated and put into the urn, which was huge. When they were sent to the storage point, readers Hyde and Lan Qie from Guangzhou held each other for a while and were silent.

"Every picture at Liuda University is colored, and it is rare to see such a serious author." Lan Qie, a native of Jiangxi, just graduated this year and worked in an animation company in Guangzhou. Upon hearing the news of the death of Deep Stream, she immediately came to Huidong. When he was a sophomore, he began to chase deep-flowing cartoons, which were die-hard fan of coloured glaze night. Another reader, A K, made a special trip from Hong Kong. By chance, he never read comics and saw this comic in his girlfriend's mobile APP. "Many details in coloured glaze night are well-founded. What surprised me most is that there is a spell in one sentence. I went to search and found that the author painted it exactly like the ancient books." Many readers want to come, but it's too far away. They set up a QQ group, in which they entrust people who come to the scene to help send flowers and incense, and help them thank the diligent authors for the joy they have always brought to readers.

"coloured glaze night" makes Deep Stream a "comic god" on the platform. Even with a large number of fans, the update speed of Deep Stream has been amazing, almost every week, for several years. A Fei, the editor in charge of Deep Stream, had been looking for Deep Stream in his contacts. After learning the bad news, he and another colleague Yao Zheng took the last flight to Shenzhen on the 9th, and then transferred to Huidong to help with the aftermath. "Deep Stream is an author who never has to rush. He is especially worry-free and hard-working. Sometimes his paintings will be updated daily." A Fei said that in October last year (2114), they had discussed with Shen Liu about the animation of coloured glaze night, and Shen Liu was also planning a new work, and they were going to sign the new work.

Everyone on the platform can upload their own original comics. Now there are more than 41,111 works in * * *, and the deep-flowing works stand out and become the top popular comics on the "unsigned" list, with more than 511 million hits. This has also brought benefits to Deep Stream. Paying readers can give monthly tickets to their favorite comics every month, and they can give virtual gifts to the authors. At the same time, the platform has an "editor's choice award" every month. These three discounts make Deep Stream live well in Huidong and provide a more stable environment for creation. "coloured glaze night is very popular, and sometimes the income may exceed the signed works." A Fei told reporters that Shenliu has not signed a contract with the platform yet, only signed an "exclusive", that is, the work is only put on this platform. After signing the contract, the platform will pay the manuscript fee according to the number of pages, and the income will be more stable.

Every holiday, Deep Stream will create a memorable chapter based on holiday allusions and give back to fans. He has diabetes and needs insulin injection every day. Before Christmas, the local hospital was out of insulin, and the doctor asked him to go to the city hospital to get it. "He may be in a hurry to update, or he may be in good health recently, and he didn't take it if he was lucky." Zhu Wen, a friend of Deep Stream, said. On Christmas Eve, 2114, Deep Stream updated coloured glaze night's No.181 "Silent Night", with a cover of glittering snowflakes floating in the dark red sky and a pair of arms holding a flame. After leaving a message of "unwell, the update will be postponed to New Year's Day", he died suddenly and did not complete the final promise of updating on New Year's Day. Hyde is a cartoonist and storyboard photographer. He has known Shen Liu for ten years and is his earliest reader. In 2115, domestic original comics have not been paid attention to, and the life span of comic forums is not long. In a forum, he saw a basketball cartoon called "1/2 territory", "The characters are very personal and cute, and the story is quite interesting, and there are many funny plots. The manuscript has a strong sense of handwork, the dialogue is handwritten, and traces such as tape can be seen. Even so, there is another feeling. Those paintings painted with pure paper and gouache are very attractive. " Interested in the author, once I saw the author leaving a QQ number in another forum, he added friends and communicated with him intermittently.

The online time of Deep Stream is not fixed, and it takes several weeks and several months to reply. From the conversation, he learned that Shenliu lives in Shenzhen and seems homeless. He sleeps in the park at night and occasionally goes to Internet cafes. "1/2 Territory" was serialized only five times, and that forum also closed down. Hyde learned some techniques from the internet and saved those five times. Later, Deep Stream said that he had lost all his manuscripts, and Hyde told him that he had kept his works. Deep Stream was very surprised, and it was re-posted to another website, and he continued to create the sixth and seventh chapters ... < P > In 2111, Hyde came to Shenzhen for work and met with Deep Stream at the East Gate for the first time. "He is wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers, holding a black bag, a thin figure, a weather-beaten face and combed hair. It is indeed a look of seclusion." Deep-stream's life is hard. Hyde invites him to dinner, but Deep-stream has a strong self-esteem and must invite him to drink. "I know he seems to sleep in the park all the time, but he never tells us which park he is in, and he doesn't have a mobile phone. He doesn't want others to see his down and out side."

Two painting lovers get together to talk about comics. Deep Flow takes out a shabby and thick notebook and shows their latest creations to Hyde. "It's full of books, pictures and texts, and some newspaper clippings are sandwiched in it." Hyde was amazed. Those pictures were drawn with ballpoint pens, which were very fine, and the settings were clearly written in a lot of words. He took pictures of these contents with his DV and scanned them when he got home to help him save his works. Deep Stream also sent the manuscript of coloured glaze night, a later famous work, back to Hyde for the first time, but now the first manuscript is gone. Hyde couldn't help laughing at this. He said that on the day he saw Deep Stream, several unlucky things happened. First, his mobile phone was stolen, and then he went home with some difficulties. "I told these experiences to Deep Stream and joked that it was bad luck. I didn't expect Deep Stream to let me burn the manuscript seriously, saying that the manuscript was musty, and I listened to him and burned the manuscript. "

From 2115 to 2114, for nearly ten years, he was both the earliest fan of Deep Stream and one of its few friends. At the funeral, there was not even a photo of him in the small auditorium temporarily arranged by fans. "Liu Da doesn't like taking pictures and almost never takes photos with people. But when he met me that time, he actually agreed to take a selfie with me. " Hyde's computer still keeps these photos. Because of the sudden incident, they didn't have time to develop them. They bowed to the auditorium where there was no portrait. "Deep Stream doesn't have a mobile phone. I didn't mention it when I moved from Shenzhen to Huidong. We turned around many times when we looked for him." After New Year's Day, first of all, the authors of Deep Stream found something was wrong and began to look for Deep Stream. Then they contacted the editors and realized that the editors were looking for him. "The online message didn't return, and the QQ message didn't return. No one answered the phone number he had registered before." Hyde found out the remittance slip remitted by Deep Stream before, and narrowed the scope of finding people to Duozhu Town, Huidong County. On the 8th, they finally got through the mobile phone number. It turned out that Deep Stream registered the number of his friend Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen immediately went to the deep-flowing house, but it was too late.

"There was no answer at his door. I thought he was eating downstairs and asked the owner of the noodle stand. The boss said he hadn't seen him for many days." Zhu Wen witnessed the scene, and almost all of the things behind Deep Flow these days were about him, including contacting Deep Flow's father.

most people think of him as reticent, introverted and stubborn. Deep stream's mother died young, his father remarried, and the contradiction between him and his father became more and more serious. In 2116, he left home and never said a word to his father until his death.

On October 9th, Zhu Wen found the house where Deep Stream lived as a child. This house is now rented out to others under the name of Deep Stream's stepmother. Through the tenant, he learned that Deep Stream's father's family had moved to Hong Kong long ago. Zhu Wen wanted to get a call from Deep Stream's father, and it took him a long time to persuade his father to go to Huidong to handle the funeral.

In the interview, the reporter found that everyone's understanding of deep flow is fragmented. Readers feel that Liu Da is mysterious, knowledgeable and humorous, and often say "God replied" sentences in the group; The editor thinks that Deep Stream is diligent, hard-working, earnest and talented. What they saw was Deep Stream in Huidong after 2111. Many people didn't know that before that, for nearly seven years, Deep Stream didn't have a residence in Shenzhen and slept in a park for seven years. The park where he lives most often is near the house where he lived as a child, and he has a deep attachment.

Zhu Wen is the only friend in the deep reality. They are neighbors. They met in childhood, studied in the same class until high school, and dropped out of school together during the rebellious period of senior one. When Deep Stream was down and out, the only person he turned to was Zhu Wen, whose mobile phone number was more familiar than his ID number.

I left home at the age of p>24, with only a high school education. He slept in the park at night and hid in a nearby building when it was cold. He did all kinds of work, once worked as a painter in Dafen village, a salesman and an animation company, but he didn't last long. Deep stream told his friends, "I think only drawing cartoons suits me best." Zhu Wen's answer is, "Then you must firmly believe that you can succeed." In order to hone his painting skills, he read books and pictures in the bookstore during the day, wondering about painting methods, and sometimes sitting in a chair by the roadside, watching all kinds of people and copying them.

At that time, Zhu Wen had just entered the society and worked in a game room in Luohu. He didn't have much spare money. The time to go to work is from afternoon to two o'clock in the morning. There is no last bus after work, so I take a taxi home. Zhu Wen thought of a way to buy a mountain bike and ride it from the park to the game room at two o'clock in the morning every day to take him home. He saved the taxi money to help Deep Stream. 7 kilometers away, in the silent night, you ride two he is my brother for 21 minutes, and I ride for 21 minutes. Zhu Wen tells jokes to Deep Stream, laughing so hard that he can't ride a bike, and they are also on the dark road together, imagining the future. "Everyone has his own line. I can say that this line is long in the mouth, but it is different in the pen." Zhu Wen called that time a "dark period", which was the most difficult and bitter time for them, but Deep Stream didn't think so. After moving to Huidong, he had a stable residence. Deep Stream often said that it was very interesting at that time, and it was fun to ride bikes together at night, and friends' jokes were also fun.

"Shen never cried, no matter when." After the funeral, according to the custom, people attending the funeral will have a dinner party. Zhu Wen has been talking at the dinner table, which, as he said, can really enliven the atmosphere. "Don't pity Shen. He never feels sorry for himself. He loves to laugh." After saying this, Zhu Wen paused and suddenly covered his eyes. "What an interesting life he had. You should laugh at his story." Zhu Wen's depressed cry rang out in the private room, and Hyde and Lanqie drank tea and their eyes were red.

In p>2111, Zhu Wen's work in Huidong improved. He ran back to Shenzhen and planned to bring Shenliu to Huidong to live. After waiting for a night in the park where Shenliu lived, they saw Shenliu the next day. They had a big meal and Shenliu agreed to go to Huidong. "I told him not to want anything, and he said he would bring only one thing, his painting." Deep current took him through several alleys and came to the rooftop of a building, moving a few bricks, and a hole was hidden with two layers of paintings carefully wrapped by deep current. They left Shenzhen, where Shenzhen was born, grew up and wandered, and started a new life in Huidong. It was also after I arrived in Huidong that I created the work coloured glaze night. Two years ago, Shen Liu felt unwell, didn't sleep enough, was often weak, and sometimes even couldn't afford a brush. After going to the hospital for examination, he was diagnosed with type I diabetes. "My parents have this disease. Don't worry, I will live a good life." In the QQ group, Shen Liu told the readers so, and also took a pill box of insulin and sent it.

Diabetes requires daily insulin injection, and even after getting sick, his update speed is not affected at all. In Huidong, he lives alone in a house with three bedrooms and one living room. The activity place is basically only in the bedroom. There are two tables, one with a computer on it and the other with painting utensils on it. He devotes himself to his creation. The living room and kitchen are as clean as new, and he occasionally uses an induction cooker to cook in the room.

Zhu Wen is busy with his work, and usually goes to see Deep Stream once every two days. Zhu Wen considered himself a strategist of Deep Stream and helped him plan everything in his life. From the very beginning, he thought that Deep Stream would be successful, and his life had developed in a better and better direction. The two brothers face the scenery outside the window, Zhu Wen analyzed. In the first 31 years, he helped Deep Stream, but after forty years old, Deep Stream will develop better than him, and then it will support him. When he was in Shenzhen, Zhu Wen helped Deep Stream many times. Every account was recorded in his notebook, and a thick one was recorded. At a certain time, it was written as an IOU. In Huidong, comics brought benefits to Deep Stream, and he paid off the IOUs one by one, leaving only the last one. "I said don't return the last one, so as not to lose my goal in life in the future. I asked him to return it when he was 41 years old." In October, 2114, the animation project of coloured glaze night was decided, and new works were also being planned. All the development was in the direction of "great success at the age of 41", but it was interrupted at the end of 2114.

In mid-February, 2114, Zhu Wen went to see Deep Stream. Because he was catching up with the progress of comics, Deep Stream blocked Zhu Wen from the door, saying that he was too busy and chatting would delay his progress. Zhu Wen came several times later, and Deep Stream was in a hurry. In order not to disturb him, Zhu Wen didn't come again. On New Year's Day, Zhu Wen went out to travel, and his mobile phone was dead. When he got home, he saw dozens of missed calls, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"He didn't leave with despair." What Zhu Wen said the most was "A Shen has succeeded half way". "111,111 Cold Jokes" was shown in theaters and sold well at the box office. This animation made the audience see a brand-new animation suitable for adults to watch. The author of "111,111 Cold Jokes" is also a member of the enchanting platform. Deep Stream once said that he hopes to be the next person like the author of "111,111 Cold Jokes".

"What we regret most is that when the environment of the domestic original comic industry is getting better and better, it has gone deep." Yao Zheng, the editor of the enchanting website, sighed, "For the sake of Deep Stream, coloured glaze night will never be removed from the website, and our company will try its best to realize animation, which may also be the last wish of Deep Stream."

on October 11, there was a light rain in Huidong. "Liu Da is like a legend to us. He walked from the bottom of his life to today, and it is incredible to say it." Hyde said, maybe he is lucky, this sentence seems to sigh and sigh, floating in the early morning rain.
