Chapter 180: It's a Harvest Season

March 1984 was really a harvest season for Gowen.

On the 18th of this month, at the inaugural meeting of the China Science Fiction Literature Committee, he won a grand slam, as long as he could get the award, he won it all.

These Galaxy Awards are all recommended on the spot, selected on the spot, and the whole process is under the attention of more than 500 people, so it is impossible to save any cat or any dark box operation, in other words, these awards are selected fairly and justly, representing the true wishes of the science fiction creators in China's entire science fiction industry and the representatives of science fiction fans across the country.

Therefore, Govin won these awards purely on his own strength.

And such a thing has never appeared at various award ceremonies at home and abroad, it is simply unheard of, and no one has thought about it, so such a thing has become a legend and will remain in the history of Chinese science fiction literature forever for future generations to remember.

Wu Dingpai, Ye Yonglie and other organizers of the preparatory conference hope that this conference can start and end perfectly, they hope that this conference can satisfy all science fiction writers and all science fiction fans, and they hope that the perfection of this conference can make Chinese science fiction literature a hit, so that the entire literary world knows the concertedness, seriousness and perseverance of the Chinese science fiction community.

Seeing that Govyn had won almost all the awards of the Galaxy Award made everyone feel a little regretful. They didn't have a problem with Govine's award, but the problem was

Have you ever heard of any major literary award where someone can win all of them?

What kind of discussion will such news cause when it falls into the ears of readers, the literary world, the critics, the scientific circles, and the popular science circles?

Will they feel that the Galaxy Award is not solemn enough, it is a child's play, it is playing?

The whole award process is transparent and fair, but will they believe it?

However, looking at the end of the award ceremony of the Galaxy Award and the end of the first meeting of the members of the Science Fiction Literature Committee, those excited reporters who couldn't wait to rush back to the club immediately, Wu Dingpai and others really wanted to cry without tears.

It's really self-inflicted, and I knew that I would contact so many reporters in advance without a dead face

The members of the preparatory team were depressed and depressed, and a kind of science fiction writer secretly made up his mind while admiring and blushing at Gowen

In the next Galaxy Awards, we will never allow such a situation to happen again! This is the glory of Gowen, but how can it not correspond to the sorrow of others?

The new generation of science fiction writers is full of energy, and the older generation of science fiction writers is also ambitious.

As for the sci-fi fans who came from all over the country, they were happy

Gowyn's signature was obtained, as were the signatures of other science fiction writers.

To be able to experience such an impressive conference, this arduous journey is really nothing compared to this

When the last moment, everyone, Gewen, Lan Mao, Wu Dingpai, Ye Yonglie, Yang Xiao, science fiction writers, science fiction fans,............ As they stood on the steps outside the auditorium gate, they formed a phalanx to look at the photographer and shouted, "Long live science fiction." The first conference finally came to an end.

In the words of Robert Heinlein, PE is greatness in the words of Osamu Iwakami, no matter what, the first conference in the history of Chinese science fiction ended like this, perfect or great, this is not the end, this is just the beginning,

This is what happened in the small hall of Sichuan University in Chengdu on the 18th of this month, and after that, how Osamu Iwagami pestered Govin Robert and how he thought of communicating with Govin about some things, we won't talk about it; After that, how Govin held those award-winning certificates, and how he returned to Shanghai with Lan Mao, we won't say; After that, how newspapers and magazines reported on this science fiction convention, and what kind of earthquake this science fiction conference caused to China's science fiction industry and even China's literary world, we will not say; We're going to talk about what happened when Govin returned to Shanghai, when he returned home, when he met Lin Yiming.

"What's the old man who has returned?" Govin exclaimed in surprise.

When Gewen, who was packing up his things at home, heard Lin Yiming leaning in front of his room door and talking about Ba Jin's news, he couldn't help jumping up, and then stepped in front of Lin Yiming in two steps and repeated.

"Are you scared? Lin Yiming was taken aback by Gowen's movements, and then patted his chest with palpitations and said, "Ba Lao came back the day after you left." By the way, I went to the editorial office of "Harvest" the day before yesterday and met Ba Lao, and he asked me to tell you that he has something to look for you. ”。

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier? Why don't I say anything when I come back! Gowen immediately punched Lin Yiming's shoulder.

"Bastard, who said at the time that you were so tired that you need to get a good night's sleep!" was wronged in general, Lin Yiming was willing to obey, and he fought back at the moment.

When Govin arrived at Ba Jin's house, it was already late in the evening, and Ba Jin was watering the flowers in the yard accompanied by his daughter, Li Xiaolin.

Seeing Govin come in, Ba Jin was very happy, he beckoned Govin to enter the house with him, and then handed the kettle in his hand to Li Xiaolin, and walked forward first.

Gewen was startled, hurriedly took a few steps forward, supported Ba Jin, and then said complainingly: "Ba Lao, what are you in a hurry, take your time and be careful of falling." …”

"Hehe, I haven't seen you kid for more than a month, and it's still so oily and smooth, and it hasn't changed at all.

Hearing Ba Jin's joke, Govin immediately smiled and said: "Ba Lao, I'm a grandson monkey who saw Guanyin and went straight to the great god Lai Piwa." ”。

The relationship between him and Ba Jin is not ordinary, the two have long been familiar with each other's habits, and the jokes and amusements on weekdays are not once or twice, so they are naturally unrestrained.

Behind him, Li Xiaolin looked at the two of them, who were neither big nor small, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Govin, I heard that you went to Chengdu a few days ago? Is it to go to the general meeting of the Science Fiction Literature Committee? Barkin, as he was helped by Govin towards his desk, asked.

"That's right.".

"I heard that the science fiction community has planned a literary award?"

"Well, it's called the Galaxy Award."

"Seeing that the newspaper says that your kid has won almost all the awards, Barkin............ sat down in his chair, and then stared at Govin with a smile and said.

Govin smiled, "Don't make a sound."

However, he immediately remembered what Lin Yiming told him, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Ba Lao, didn't you just want to inquire about this conference?" ”。

"Of course not, you think I'm so idle?" Ba Jin stared at Govin angrily, then opened the drawer in the middle of the desk, and pulled out a few red wooden boxes from inside, "This is yours." ”

"Mine? Govin looked at the mahogany box that Bar Jin had placed on the table, and couldn't help but wonder a little.

These boxes are made of fine solid wood, "very flat, slightly larger than a typical 16K magazine." Govin looked at the vertical striped wood grain on the box, and couldn't help but pick up the top one and open it.

Then he was instantly stunned

I saw that the box that he opened vertically was stuck with a piece of paper on one side and a medal on the other.

On that piece of paper, the words "Award Certificate" were clearly visible, and then it was written on a new line

Written by Govyn

"One Generation" won the first Lu Xun Literature Award (1982-1983) National Outstanding Poetry Award.

The signature at the bottom is the Lu Xun Literature Award Committee, dated March 1984, and a bright red steel seal is printed on the top of the signature and date of the Chinese Writers Association.

Is this also a certificate for a literary award?

Gerwin looked at the medal on the other side of the box in disbelief, and the golden medal was printed with a protruding human head: "Looking at the stiff hair, eyebrows and beard on the avatar, Govin knew that this avatar was Lu Xun, because this avatar was exactly the same as the literary giant he had seen in the history album in his previous life."

It's very expressive

There are also five small protruding characters below the avatar, the Lu Xun Literature Award.

Hiss............

Govin took a deep breath, all of these in front of him showed that this was the certificate and medal of a literary award, but why hadn't I heard of any Lu Xun literary awards?

National Outstanding Poetry Award?

I remember that there are only two kinds of poetry awards in China: the National Outstanding New Poetry (Poetry Collection) Award and the National Outstanding New Poetry Award for Young and Middle-aged Poets.

Govin raised his head and stared at Ba Jin and asked, "Ba Lao, what's going on?" How come I've never heard of this award? You're not always kidding me, are you? ”。

"Hmph, teasing you? Is this funny? Do you know how much this box costs? That's nearly 300 yuan! When Ba Jin heard Govine's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and said with his eyes pricked up. But Govyn's reaction really made him very happy.

In this way, this award is really good

Ba Jin's heart was a little happy.

"Ba Lao", don't sell it, what's going on? Govyn asked, shaking the box in his hand as he closed the wooden box in his hand.

"Hehe, didn't I stay in Beijing for more than a month? That's what I'm doing!. Ba Jin explained with some smugness.

It turned out that "last month's Writers' Association meeting was to discuss the establishment of a new literary award, and now the most famous literary award organized by the Writers' Association is a novel award built by the great writer Mao Dunjian in 8 years, in addition to other awards organized by the Writers' Association, such as the National Outstanding Novella Award, the National Outstanding Short Story Award, the National Outstanding New Poetry (Poetry Collection) Award, the National Outstanding New Poetry Award for Middle-aged and Young Poets, and the National Outstanding Reportage Award, are very chaotic, although there are various types of literary awards." However, the management of this award is very chaotic, and it is entrusted by the Writers' Association to the relevant magazines to organize and organize.

It is time for the National Outstanding New Poetry Award and the National Outstanding Prose Award to be held", so the Chinese Writers Association held a special meeting last month, listened to the opinions of local writers' associations, and established the Lu Xun Literature Award, which is specially responsible for the Lu Xun Academy of Literature under the Writers' Association.

The Lu Xun Literary Award includes the National Award for Outstanding Novella; National Award for Outstanding Short Story: National Award for Outstanding Reportage; National Outstanding Poetry Award: National Outstanding Prose and Essay Award; National Award for Outstanding Literary Theory and Literary Criticism: National Award for Outstanding Literary Translation.

"In order to improve the fairness and authority of the literary award, the Writers' Association officially established the Lu Xun Literature Award in February, which is to encourage the creation of outstanding novellas, short stories, reportage, poetry, prose, essays, literary theories and criticisms, encourage the translation of outstanding foreign literary works, and promote the prosperity and development of socialist literature.

I see.

Govin was cleared up, and then he asked Barkin, a little strangely, "So, these are the awards I received?" …”

"Yes."

So, I actually won six awards?

Putting down the wooden box in his hand, Govin opened the other wooden boxes.

Ge Wen's Taoist Tower won the first Lu Xun Literature Award (1982-1983) National Outstanding Prose and Essay Award.

Ge Wen's Mogao Grottoes won the first Lu Xun Literature Award (1982-1983) National Outstanding Prose and Essay Award.
