Chapter 534: Talking about age

"This Lu Prize is a lot, that's a certainty, how can Xiao Fei be eligible for the Lu Prize prose award? With his rabbit-tail-like essays, and those boring rural whispers, how is he qualified to win this highest award in domestic literature? ”

"China's older generation of prose writers, Qian Li old man, this year is more than 90 years old, since the beginning of the New Culture Movement, he has published works, more than 80 years of pen cultivation, stick to the prose this territory, his prose works are simple and natural wisdom of the words scattered throughout the article, it stands to reason that Mr. Qian Li won a Lu Prize prose award, how should it be? However, the old man did not win the award, but a yellow-mouthed child topped the prose award......"

"I just want to ask the judges: What made you vote for Xiao Fei's work and propelled him to the top of the award-winning authorship in one fell swoop? Is he really better than those old writers? I don't see it, do I? ”

"Anyway, Xiao Fei should be regarded as a shame in my country's literary circles when he won this Lu Prize, the outlook on life, values, and worldview in the year of the weak crown has not yet been formed, he has been sought after to become a famous domestic literary artist, isn't it a joke? Looking at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, is there such a strange thing? ”

"The Lu Xun Literature Award was praised by the Chinese people on the altar, but as a result, it jumped into hell itself! This year's award can be described in one sentence: this is a disaster! Xiao Fei's winning this award will only chill writers across the country. ”

Han Han flipped through a number of newspapers in Shanghai.

As a result, in addition to the relevant news, he saw that supplements and opinion boards were flooded with critical texts like the above.

These articles are without exception. Let's talk about Xiao Fei's age first.

Some people believe that Xiao Fei is too young. It is impossible to write something deep and heavy, in terms of the prose works it publishes. There is not too much grand theme and meaning in it, such a small essay can be appreciated, but winning the Lu Xun Literature Award is too thin.

Some people believe that Xiao Fei squeezed out the opportunity for old writers to win awards, because Xiao Fei's appearance is likely to cause many old writers to regret it for life.

I never had the chance to win the Lu Award again in my life!

There are also some people who believe that Xiao Fei can win the award must be through relationships. Otherwise. It is impossible for all the judges to vote for Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei's award can only contribute to the increasingly unhealthy trend in the literary world.

Looking at these comments, Han Han was very angry.

He naturally knew that the people who could publish his articles in the newspaper so quickly must be people in the circle and were asked to write by the newspaper.

Just like himself, if it weren't for the morning paper, he wanted to write the article the day before yesterday and send it out the next day, which is impossible.

It is said that literati are inferior. And so it was!

Han Han sighed. He naturally read Xiao Fei's prose carefully, and even Han Han imitated Xiao Fei's writing, but he couldn't learn it well.

Such a fresh, natural, rustic and philosophical article. Why can't you win the Lu Prize?

Looking at China, how many people can write prose to the extent of Xiao Fei?

O these people! It's all a serious imbalance in mentality!

They watched Xiao Fei win such a freshman literary award at such a young age, and they were so jealous that they were about to go crazy. Naturally, they want to go crazy and express their dissatisfaction, which will increase the following pressure on the judges.

Our country down all these years. We're all used to allocating everything by qualification, and now it's good. Xiao Fei stabbed out obliquely, directly crossed countless old guys, and directly snatched their chance to win the award, so how could he bear it?

However, although a large number of people jumped out to criticize and attack Xiao Fei, there were still some insiders who expressed strong support.

These people argue that:

"The literary world is not a place to talk about seniority, the capable are up, the inferior are down, it is a matter of course, Xiao Fei's award is a good signal: future awards, or young people will have more opportunities. That's a good thing! ”

"Those who say that Xiao Fei writes poorly, must be living in a dream, or they are too selfish, the people are not fools, and they can't be fooled casually, if Xiao Fei writes poorly, how can his essay collection "The Old Days of the Sunshine Shine Old" sell hundreds of thousands of copies across the country? How can his well-known articles be frequently selected by abstract magazines with huge circulation, such as "Youth Digest" and "Reader"? ”

"Wake up, those who have repeatedly been prejudiced against Xiao Fei! When you wantonly attack Xiao Fei, you should deeply reflect on yourself, the gap between you and Xiao Fei is getting bigger and bigger, no matter how much you criticize Xiao Fei, it is impossible to narrow this gap, I can only say that you can't damage Xiao Fei in the slightest, on the contrary, it can only make readers look down on your little belly chicken intestines even more! ”

These supporters are clearly more sober and more objective.

……

National Writers' Association, in the secretary's office.

Several main leaders of the Writers' Association are sitting on the sofa discussing the list of winners of the Lu Prize.

Because Ba Lao is too old, he usually recuperates in the magic capital, and the daily work of the National Writers Association is presided over by Zhang Miao, secretary of the Secretariat.

"The public opinion reaction to this award result is a bit fierce, especially Xiao Fei's award, many writers think that there is a considerable problem in it." One of the people present said.

He is a deputy secretary of the Secretariat, Li Deyi.

"The main thing is that the outdated concept of seniority is at work, thinking that so many old people who have fought for the cause of literature all their lives can't get the award, but it was won by a young man, so everyone's psychology is a little unbalanced, that's all, I don't think there will be much problem in the award." The other said with a smile.

He is Jia Lianhe, vice chairman of the Writers' Association, a famous poet.

However, someone has already reported it and given some evidence, for example, the judge Cao Zi is Xiao Fei's teacher, it stands to reason that he should avoid it, right? However, he did not shy away. It is said that Cao Zizheng also lobbied for Xiao Fei's award and exchanged interests with some judges. Li Deyi said.

"Teacher Cao Zizheng won't do that, right? I still know his character well, he is the kind of person who hates unhealthy tendencies and will never do anything that violates discipline. Zhang Miao heard that someone questioned Cao Zizheng, so he said with a smile.

Hearing that Zhang Miao excused Cao Zizheng, Li Deyi changed his words and said: "I also think that this report may be problematic, but Xiao Fei really can't convince the public when he wins the award!" The entire domestic literary circle is talking about this matter, and everyone thinks that it is too early for a 21-year-old child to win such an award, and they all think that it is best to delay it for another ten or eight years, and when he matures, give him such a high honor, and maybe it will still be a protection for him. ”

This statement seems to be thinking about Xiao Fei.

is young, unstable, and suddenly receives such a great honor, it is easy to breed pride and complacency, and the idea of self-containment, wouldn't that harm this genius who has been rare for years?

But its intentions are sinister.

Li Deyi is trying his best to convince everyone to cancel Xiao Fei's award.

Perhaps Li Deyi thinks that his approach is to maintain some conventional rules in the domestic literary circle: young people cannot be allowed to run too fast, and they must not be allowed to influence a group of old people who have worked hard for more than ten years to have today's status in the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Miao groaned, looking at the others present.

"Let's talk about everyone's attitude." Zhang Miao said.

"The awards have been awarded, and then they are taken away, if this thing is really done, will it seem that our award is too child's play? Also, what's wrong with being young? You can't win the Lu Prize when you're young? Do you have to be eligible to stay up to a certain age before you are allowed to win the Lu Prize? It's ridiculous for this rule to get out, right? ”

"I don't agree with Secretary Li Deyi's opinion, we should respect the results of the prose award jury, and it is inappropriate to change the results without discovering major disciplinary violations."

"Giving young people the opportunity to let talented people develop faster is in line with the needs of our country's cultural development and prosperity!"

"Xiao Fei's award can't be wasted! really scrapping his award will make a generation of young people feel cold! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Now that the situation of domestic literary and artistic creation is so bad, there is no succession, and there is no successor, and a young man with amazing talent has finally emerged, we can't ruin him! ”

The people at the scene spoke one by one.

No one agreed with Lee.

Everyone is already the top few people in the country's literary and artistic undertakings, and their horizons are naturally relatively broad, and there are naturally few small ones.

Even if you are jealous and jealous of Xiao Fei in your heart, you won't show it.

That would make you look too low-end and too stingy.

Zhang Miao smiled, looked at Li Deyi and nodded: "Comrade Deyi, I think everyone's opinion is right, we can't talk about age, for a rare literary talent like Xiao Fei, we must do our best to cultivate it!" In addition, Ba Lao also gave us instructions, he said, the results of the award remain unchanged, just according to the announcement of the jury, change is more likely to be criticized! Ba Lao also said that Xiao Fei's prose is very good, better than what many old guys write, and he deserves to win the Lu Prize Prose Award! ”

When Li Deyi heard this, his face turned pale.

He didn't expect that Ba Lao had already given instructions.

So why not speak up sooner? It also caused him to disagree with these people...... Li Deyi was very depressed, below, obviously many people think that it is awkward for a child to win the highest literary award, but when he arrived at the secretary meeting, why did he change his rhetoric?

"Secretary Zhang, of course Ba Lao's instructions must be followed! So be it. Li Deyi said.

"According to this list of winners, is there any opinion?" Zhang Miao looked around with a smile and asked.

"No comment!"

"Totally agree!"

Everyone has expressed their positions. At this point, the list of winners of the first Lu Award has been completely determined. (To be continued.) )
