Chapter 190: Love Deeply (Asking for Tickets and Subscriptions)
The first award was the Best Poetry Award, which was Zhang Chu's old acquaintance!
Ma Qiwei, as a judge in the poetry category, coupled with his status as the editor-in-chief of "Poetry Magazine", is more than enough to serve as the presenter of this award.
As soon as this old and strong literary master took the stage, he was greeted with warm applause from the audience, "Thank you. The following poets won the title of "Top 100 in China", they are Dewdrop, Ruoren, Shiliu Qingfeng, Ziyi, Zhang Jianxue, ......"
The top 100 in the country is always better than nothing, but Zhang Chu found that as long as the works that passed the primary selection seemed to be in it, after all, only 100 works from each genre entered the final link.
It's really impossible to miss one.
"The work that won the first prize of this year's Chinese Good Literature and Poetry Essay Competition is Shui Kazuko's "Crossing the Sea"!"
When a female poet came to the stage to accept the award, the audience was almost boiling, and no one thought that such a generous and atmospheric poem would be written by a female poet!
Zhang Chu couldn't help but applaud and dedicated his applause to this majestic work.
……
One award after another was given, and when the gold winner for Best Novella walked off the stage, all eyes were on the last award.
Novels have always been a stage for literary masters, and this is a high-profile project, but it is also the most difficult!
An excellent long-form creation can be as short as one or two months, or as long as two or three years or even longer, but Zhang Chu has broken this legend.
Although no one knows exactly how much time it took to write "Life of Pi", one can guess from the time of his previous works.
"Psychological Crime" was released in early September, and at that time, Zhang Chu was still serializing "Journey to the West Diary" on Weibo, and he only started creating it in September at the earliest!
There were still people who were not convinced, thinking that Zhang Chu's work was translated from English or Hindi, and it was not that there were no such people in the past.
But when they searched all over the world, they couldn't find any trace of "Life of Pi"!
If you want to find it, you have to go to another world.
As the writer Xiezhu slowly walked onto the stage, Zhang Chu's heartbeat became faster and faster.
Even if he said that he didn't care whether he won the award or not, he was still very nervous when it came to the end, and his palms were slightly sweating.
This is the first time he has participated in the award ceremony, and he has appeared as a candidate, of course, unlike a bystander.
"The work that won the Gold Award for the Best Feature of Chinese Good Literature this year is Zhang Chu's "The Fantasy Drifting of Pi"!"
The originally clear and audible sound seemed to be extremely distant at this time, Zhang Chu's ears were full of buzzing sounds, and the whole world seemed to slow down a lot.
He saw the people in the front row turn their heads, he saw Zhou Kang's ecstatic face next to him, he saw the big swingarm camera moving over, everything was so realistic!
"Did I really win?"
Zhang Chu stood up a little dazed, the applause of the judges in the front row, the silence of the opponents in the middle, and the cheers of the readers in the rear all brought his thoughts back to reality.
Zhou Kang patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be in a daze, go up and receive the award!"
Zhang Chu then walked towards the stage, he thought that Ma Qiwei was hinting that he would not win the award before, but he didn't expect that this was an old naughty boy who made himself uneasy for so long.
Chen Yingsong, who was sitting in the front row, raised his chin very proudly, and said to his old friends around him: "See, this is the first book I found, and it deserves to be given full marks!"
"Yes, yes, you know the talent. Ma Qiwei on the side couldn't help but be stunned, he was looking forward to teaching Zhang Chu next year.
On the stage, Li Jingze took a serious look at his little junior brother, but he specially exchanged awards with others, in order to meet Zhang Chu.
As the deputy chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, Li Jingze shook hands with Zhang Chu and said, "Congratulations, "Youth School" is indeed very well written!"
"Thank you, Chairman Lee. ”
"The Chinese Department of Yan University is a good place, you study and accumulate well, and strive to bring glory to our literary world like your predecessors." Li Jingze handed over the certificate and trophy to Zhang Chu, and educated him seriously.
He is worried that young people nowadays are impetuous, and they can't settle down to study hard, and once the writing thing is impetuous, it will be over!
……
In the live broadcast room of Douyu, when Li Jingze announced the award-winning works, the barrage almost covered the entire screen!
The audience was celebrating Zhang Chu and "Youth Pi", and even fish balls and other rewards were thrown over.
"I knew it was so!"
"Call Life of Pi~"
"Congratulations to Zhang Chu, this one is so well written. ”
"Well deserved!"
"Awesome, I've won the prize!"
"This product actually won a prize, and it was not in vain that I spent money to buy it. ”
"Celebrate the whole world! Scatter flowers to celebrate!"
Wei Wenlin, who was waiting in front of the computer, jumped up from the chair excitedly, happy like a 200-pound child.
The honor of the friend is his own honor, Wei Wenlin's jump scared the rest of the people in the dormitory half to death, and they thought there was an earthquake!
"I won the award! I knew that Zhang Chu guy would win the prize, go to the string tonight, brother is in for a treat!"
A few people who were originally angry suddenly echoed happily, "Congratulations!"
……
Standing on the stage and looking at the audience is a completely different experience than sitting in the audience and watching the stage.
Zhang Chu found that all the faces in the audience were so clear, and he could see the joy, disdain, joy and appreciation on their faces.
He approached the microphone, thought for a moment, and said, "To be honest, I prepared my acceptance speech, but now I forgot it all. This is the story of Richard Parker, the teenager who was once eaten turned into a tiger in the story, and many people are asking me which story is true, and I hope you don't take my words as a standard answer.
In addition, there is a small poem I would like to give to some of the people present, please don't just button the hat to others. ”
Zhou Kang had a bitter face, Zhang Chu shouldn't be sarcastic in front of so many people, he was the first to tremble in his heart.
Zhang Chu, who was on the stage, saw that the faces of the director and the rest of the people changed instantly, but he didn't stop, but adjusted his breath and chanted:
"If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This storm-stricken land,
This eternal river of our grief and indignation,
This unending blowing and angry wind,
and the incomparably gentle dawn from the woods......
- and then I died,
Even the feathers rotted in the ground.
Why do I always have tears in my eyes?
Because I love the land so much!"
Zhou Kang stood up,
Ma Qiwei and Chen Yingsong stood up, and the audience at the scene also stood up!
They knew why Zhang Chu was reading this poem, and they knew what this poem meant.
The applause resounded in the lecture hall, and it didn't stand up for a long time.
This is a powerful refutation of the "banana man" appellation!
It is the best counterattack to the accusation of admiring foreign countries!
