Distinguished Leaders and Distinguished Guests,

Hello everyone, first of all, allow me to take this opportunity to say thank you to the organizers and organizers of the event, thank you for building a bridge between online literature and traditional literature through such an event. It enables online writers and traditional writers who have been wandering on both sides of the ravine for a long time to cross the ravine and work together to interpret the new glory of Chinese literature.

At the same time, please allow me to take this opportunity to say thank you to the websites of Literature.com, April Astronomy.com, Original Literature.com, and Literature City, for providing space for online authors to express themselves for a long time.

At the same time, I would also like to thank all the online literature and enthusiasts, researchers, and supporters of genuine text reading here. It is you who provide the motivation for us web writers to persevere with your daily attention and clicks.

Today is the tenth year of the development of online literature. From the initial BBS publication and the mode of niche appreciation, online literature has come to this day, and it is not easy for excellent writers to emerge and excellent websites bloom. As a writer who has ten years of experience in coding words on the Internet and has witnessed every step of online literature, I look back on the past and am full of emotion.

Since the first day of its birth, online literature has grown with this criticism. Some people regard it as a flood beast, while others refuse to include it in the lintel of literature. However, the drunkard personally thinks that online literature is in the same vein as traditional literature, and there is no difference.

Both are the art of writing, and both undertake the mission of disseminating a nation's culture and promoting a nation's spirit. If you have to find a difference between the two, it can only be said that the alcoholic carries the text in different mediums. Online literature relies on the Internet to disseminate, and traditional literature relies on paper printing to be accepted.

The carrier medium does not affect the literature itself. Just like many years ago, our ancestors wrote poems such as "Mountains without edges, heaven and earth together" on bamboo slips, you can't deny its value as literature itself because of its rough medium of communication and its own simplicity.

Due to the relationship between its early birth, today's online literature is as crude as the poems written by the ancestors on bamboo slips thousands of years ago. Because of the mixed quality of online authors, some online works will inevitably flow into vulgarity, but you can't deny the contribution of Chinese literature to the entire online literature because of the situation of some works.

It is it, along with traditional literature, that has persistently brought back young people who do not have much time to read, or who do not have the money and energy to read literature, from the video game room and the mahjong table. It is the Internet literature that has caused the flood of foreign languages today, and the written works of our own nation can still be widely appreciated.

From a certain point of view, the contribution of online literature to the spread of Chinese culture is no less than the role of Grimm's call to the German nation. As we all know, the German nation was formed very late and was once a mess. At that time, the European upper class was proud to speak French, and it was difficult for German to be elegant. It was precisely because of the simplicity and popularity of Grimm's fairy tales, written in German, that the German language was once again valued among the Germans, and thus culturally integrated countless small countries into a unified German nation.

A nation without its own language has no future. If one day, young Chinese people walking on the streets will put on top hats and open their mouths to "Hello!" Nicetoseeyou!” And it's an authentic New York accent. That by no means means civilization and progress, but rather that the Chinese nation has completely lost itself.

This is the meaning of the existence of online literature. He has allowed countless young people who do not like to read in their mother tongue to sit in front of the square words again, and to re-understand their lives through the words handed down by their ancestors.

Today, it is definitely an honor for us as online writers to stand on this bridge connecting online literature and traditional literature. From now on, when people ask about our profession, there is no need for us to hide it. We can be honest with anyone, I, am a web writer.

On the other hand, I would also like to suggest to all web writers that whether you started the industry earlier than me or have just embarked on this path, please see the heavy responsibility on your shoulders. You are making history now, and history will record what you do today. In the future, perhaps we will not be equal to our writings, and we will not leave any names and surnames in history. Twenty years later, we will be showing our work in front of our own children. At that time, I hope that every online writer, including myself, can proudly say to their children that your father (and mother) used to be an online writer. Your father (mother) left a text worthy of his youth!

Thank you!

Note: The ten-year inventory of online literature is sponsored by the China Writers Association and undertaken by the Literature Network. com
