Recently, a literary award has set up an award for plagiarism, which is special, and the name of the award is also very interesting. It's called "White Lotus Award". The first flint literature award hosted by Tianjin Writers Association recently held an awarding ceremony in Beijing. Interestingly, the "White Lotus Award" was specially set up for the annual plagiarism works. This move caused a lot of netizens to discuss.
According to Economic Daily China Economic Net, the winners of the "White Lotus Award" are Tang Qi's "three lives, three generations and ten li peach blossom", Qin Jian's "splendid Weiyang" and Zhibai shouhei's "glory of the king of the League of heroes", all of which are involved in public opinion disputes on the Internet due to suspected plagiarism and manuscript washing. After the selection of online games, "beautiful Weiyang" won the final award.
Li Bin, deputy secretary of Tianjin Writers Association, said that the award was originally planned as the "golden snivel Award", but later changed to the "White Lotus Award" because he thought the name was not elegant. The purpose of setting up this award is to let readers understand the hard work of the original author, so as to consciously resist plagiarism and manuscript washing. Plagiarism damages both the original work and the plagiarist himself. '
The special prize for flint literature, the white lotus prize, was finally awarded the title of "splendid Weiyang". A prize of $9999 will be donated to Tong Hang college. Hao Jingfang, the founder of the academy and the winner of Hugo Award, received the prize on behalf of him.
