Mao Dun literature award winners list of 2019 Mao Dun Literature Award
In the song of children's solo "I and my motherland", the 10th Mao Dun literature award ceremony opened at the National Museum on the evening of October 14.
The 10th Mao Dun literature award was announced on August 16. Liang Xiaosheng's "the world", Xu Huaizhong's "leading the wind", Xu Zechen's "going north", Chen Yan's "protagonist" and Li Er's "Yingwu brother" won the awards.
"Literature has an unshirkable duty to influence culture and the people of the world. But people's requirements for literature are diverse. Literature cannot and should not be confined to a certain idea. The result of literature confined to any idea is bound to be a cocoon. " Liang Xiaosheng said that no matter how diverse the cultural ecological park is, it is regrettable that there is no literature that shares a little role for the cultural mission. " It is my great honor to travel with the four writers who have won awards at the same time. All of them have participated in the "lsquo" of contemporary Chinese culture with their own works; Pick up the missing & rsquo;. Our works have different styles, but the literary spirit is basically the same. "
"It was only after this award that the number of words in the Mao Dun literature award was limited to 130000. As it happens, my book "leading the wind" is exactly 130000 words. In other words, if I delete another thousand or eight hundred words, I will not be able to add up enough words and can only withdraw from the evaluation. " Xu Huaizhong, 90, said in his acceptance speech that a thin book is beyond boast. He recalled that in his early 20s, he went deep into the Tibetan army and kangzang area, created the novel "we sow love" and witnessed the golden age of waste and prosperity. By 1979, when the tide of reform and opening up was surging, he made a new exploration and excavation through his novel anecdotes on the western front. " In 2014, after a lonely and long creative preparation stage, I began to polish the long story of leading the wind. " He said that he was physically and mentally happy and energetic. He completely let go of his hands and feet and tried his best to make the last fight. "A sunset work finally let me deal with it. It's also very happy."
When delivering his acceptance speech, Xu Zechen said: "in the past 22 years of writing, I have been thanking this river. The way to thank is to write works related to the river one by one. It is the most loyal and reliable background of my novel. " Xu Zechen said that this river is not only the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, but the sum of all the rivers he encountered in his life. Twenty or thirty years ago, his life changed from one river to another. The river was the paradise of his whole childhood and childhood. The river is not only the closest playmate, but also a way to know and imagine the world. " I stared at the waves and eddies, imagining them running on the vast land. Where they go, my imaginary world goes; How far they go, how big the world I imagine may be, and how big my world may be. "
Chen Yan said that winning the Mao award is an affirmation of his 40 year creative process. In Zhenan, a small mountain county where he was born, there was a literary upsurge in the 1980s, and almost all young people were having hot literary dreams. He was coerced in at that time. For 40 years, he never stopped measuring and surveying the temperature of human nature and life. 'I want to thank my drama, the Chinese opera that has let me experience for decades, and the art troupe whose life has been deeply integrated for decades. I worked as a screenwriter and manager there. More importantly, I experienced a sinking lifestyle. This makes me feel flowing and gushing when I finally write the protagonist. I can do it easily without doing any homework. "
Li Er said frankly: 'thank you for the gift of fate.' In the spring of 2005, when he began to write brother Yingwu, he could not have realized that it would take 13 years to write it. " In the past 13 years, too many changes have taken place in the world in which we live: our relationship with traditional culture and our relationship with all kinds of knowledge are constantly changing. All these changes constitute a new reality, which is not only a call to the writer, but also a challenge to the writer. " He said that a writer rooted in the great tradition of Chinese literature must respond to it in his own way. For him, the result of this response is the book brother Yingwu.
