习近平的两种结局——毕汝谐原创戏剧六种: The Two Endings of Xi Jinping---Six Original Plays by Bi Ruxie
By 毕汝谐 著 （Bi Ruxie）当今世道，一个人想做一件举世无二、独一无二的事情（行善 也罢，为恶也罢），难于登月。 然而， 毕汝谐硬是做了一件举世无双、独一无二的事情——自 2013 年始，创作一系列以习近平为主人公的小说、剧本。 中国主席习近平如同日月临空，人人可见可鉴；却独独引发毕 汝谐的持久的创作激情！ 2015 年 2 月，毕汝谐敢为天下先，创作习近平主席的两种结局，超前预言习近平的两种结局：称帝或者死于非命。 2018 年 2 月，习近平称帝的狼子野心大白于天下。 毕汝谐实为事前诸葛亮。 2006 年 6 月，毕汝谐接受纽约中国广播网采访时说：作家是什么?词典说作家是从事文学创作的人； 毕汝谐给作家下的定义是： 作家是民族的乌龟背，作家是大众的老寒腿。作家理应是先知 先觉！ 毕汝谐是民族的乌龟背、大众的老寒腿，庶几无愧。 毕汝谐的幸与不幸，皆源于其具有神秘主义的特异功能。
