At seven o'clock, the award ceremony started on time. Yang Fengxia, Chairman of the Writers Association, went up first to give an opening speech. After that, she went directly to the main topic and began to announce the final results of the Wei Feng Award.
There are only two Wei Feng Awards in total, outstanding novella and outstanding novel.
Yang Fengxia announced the prize for the novella.
"The work that won the Best Feature Award was "River of Blood."
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, a little disappointed, because he felt that Biancheng should be able to win an award. Before, there was no Pu Songling Award for Biancheng, and he originally thought that he might be able to get an honor in the Wei Feng Award.
After all, he himself likes the work "Border Town" very much. Even compared with other works he has brought to this world, "Border Town" is still ranked among the top in his heart.
The author of "The Long River of Blood" was a shopping mall we chatted with before.
""The Bloody River" focuses on the struggle between the enemy and ourselves in the concentration camp of the China-American Cooperation, vividly expresses the desperate struggle of the revolutionaries to welcome the liberation of the country and completely defeat the enemy's death struggle, and truly reproduces the light and dark process on the eve of the national liberation.
The arduous nature of the final decisive battle reveals the extreme ferocity and vicious nature of the enemy's death struggle, and praises the strong will and fearless spirit of the revolutionary patriots fighting for the truth..."
Although Zhang Zhong has not watched "River of Blood", just listening to the award speech can tell that this is a work with the main theme.
And the award speech should also have been written by a certain pen.
It was vividly expressed... it was truly reproduced... it was exposed... it was eulogized. It's a complete set, and the format is very rigorous.
After she went on stage to buy her groceries and received the award, Yang Fengxia did not step down, but continued to announce the results of the Novel Award.
Different from the novella award, everyone pays more attention to the novel award.
Moreover, this year's Wei Feng Award is different from previous years because two of Zhang Zhong's works were shortlisted for the Novella Award and the Novel Award respectively.
Now that the novella award has fallen into the buyer's bag, the only thing left to watch is who will win the best novel award in the end.
Whether Zhang Zhong will win the Wei Feng Award this year is something that everyone is paying close attention to, because if Zhang Zhong wins the Wei Feng Award for Best Novel this time, he will set a new record for Zhuang Yu sixteen years ago.
record, becoming the first writer in history to win the Wei Feng Award under the age of forty.
"The winning work of Wei Feng's Best Novel Award -" When Yang Fengxia said this, she paused for a moment, looked around the audience, and then saw Zhang Zhong's position, smiled meaningfully, and continued
Said, "Congratulations to Zhang Zhong on "The Ordinary World."
Yang Fengxia's smile was too obvious, so Zhang Zhong had roughly guessed the result before she announced the result. Otherwise, did Yang Fengxia look at him specifically to make him unhappy?
""The Ordinary World" is a realistic novel and a fictionalized family history. Zhang Zhong highly condenses the historical change process of rural northwest China. The work achieves a high degree of unity of ideology and artistry, especially when the protagonist faces difficulties and hardships.
The spirit of struggle..."
"Labor and love, frustration and pursuit, pain and happiness, daily life and huge social conflicts are all intertwined, profoundly showing the difficult and tortuous path that ordinary people have traveled in the historical process of the great era."
The award speech was unremarkable, but it was greeted with thundering applause.
There is no first place in literature. Perhaps most people here do not feel that "The Ordinary World" deserves the Wei Feng Award more than their works, but they all know clearly that when Yang Fengxia finally read out the five words of "The Ordinary World"
When a word is used, what does it represent?
This means that Zhang Zhong will become the youngest winner of the Wei Feng Award in history, and he directly pushed forward the previous record set by Zhuang Yu by ten years.
In their limited imagination, it is impossible to imagine that another person can break this record in the future.
Will there ever be someone who can win the Wei Feng Award under the age of thirty?
It's impossible.
But when they denied this possibility and saw Zhang Zhong walking towards the stage, they felt that their denial was too arbitrary.
When Zhuang Yu broke the record, they didn't expect that there would be someone who won the Wei Feng Award in his early thirties.
Of course, there is already the Pu Songling Award at the front, and now that Zhang Zhong has won the Wei Feng Award, it is not as surprising as before.
Unless he specifically mentioned thirty years old or saw Zhang Zhong's young face, most people would never suspect that he was a great writer when they heard the name Zhang Zhong.
This time, Zhang Zhong's coordination with the award speech broadcast was not perfect. When the award speech was finished, Zhang Zhong was only halfway there. This was mainly because when Zhang Zhong came out, he met Liu Yuan halfway. This guy was so excited.
He hugged Zhang Zhong.
"It's amazing, Old Man Fang did a good thing this time." Liu Yuan hugged Zhang Zhong and kept mumbling.
Fang Ya was sitting next to him. After rolling his eyes at him, he smiled and said to Zhang Zhong, "Congratulations Zhang Zhong, "The Ordinary World" is well deserved."
What about "Border Town"?
If possible, Zhang Zhong would like to ask why "Border Town" cannot truly deserve its title, but of course he will not say this.
He also knew the concerns of the jury. To be able to award the best novel to a man in his early thirties like him was already a big decision. If they were allowed to award "Border Town" to the best novella,
, it’s really a bit overwhelming.
Hugging Liu Yuan took a lot of time, so Zhang Zhong had to walk the rest of the way without broadcasting.
He shook hands with Yang Fengxia and then took the Wei Feng Award certificate from her.
Yang Fengxia smiled and said, "Congratulations, Zhang Zhong. It is unprecedented for you to win the Wei Feng Award at such an age, just like you won the Pu Songling Award before."
"Thank you." Zhang Zhong smiled and thanked.
Yang Fengxia made a gesture of invitation, Zhang Zhong nodded, then walked behind the microphone, and then said with a smile, "Thank you to the jury for awarding me such an important honor, and thank you to all my friends who have encouraged me and helped me.
, because of you, this award becomes so meaningful.”
After finishing the cliché, Zhang Zhong took a deep breath and said, "As I stand on this stage tonight, I can't help but think of an elder in my mind. He once told me, Zhang Zhong, I like "The Ordinary World" very much.
, because I saw some extraordinary stories of ordinary people, just like each of us, ordinary and legendary."
