Yesterday afternoon, the donation signing ceremony of the "Ma Zhitu Literature Award" was held in the Jiang'an Liberal Arts Building of Sichuan University. At the signing ceremony, Ma Zhitu donated the full amount of 500,000 yuan from the calligraphy exhibition in June last year. So far, the personal donation part of Ma Zhitu Literature Award Ma Lao has reached 3.86 million yuan.

Li Yi, dean of the School of Literature and Journalism at Sichuan University, said that the Ma Zhitu Literature Award has entered its eighth session, and 153 students have been assisted. Li Yi believes that "what gives back to Ma Lao is not the data itself, but solid literary achievements." He said that he hopes that through the "Ma Zhitu Literature Award", he will better guide the generations of writers who cultivate campus literature, "so that more writers can grow up here and can make greater contributions to the development of Chinese literature." ”

At the event site, a video recorded when he visited Ma Lao a few days ago was played. On the morning of December 29 last year, Gu Lifeng, secretary of the Party Committee and Li Yi, dean of the School of Literature and Journalism of Sichuan University, Jia Xiu'e, deputy secretary general of the Education Foundation, Zhou Yi, executive director of the Center for Humanities and Art Practice and Transformation, and Zhao Wenqin, director of the Shiwujia Art Museum, visited Ma Zhitu's home and wished ma Lao, who was about to turn 108, in advance.

Through the video, Ma Lao instructed Sichuan University students to study well and learn the real skills, "Don't exaggerate, to learn the real skills, it really takes a lot of effort." I didn't teach you anything, I just led you to a path, and it was up to you to work on your own. ”

In the video, Ma Lao also talked about his longevity sutra, which Ma Zhitu summarized as "optimism, exercise, and more thinking". Ma Lao said that people should always maintain an optimistic attitude and not be bothered. It is also important to think more, eat and walk with your brain.

At the event, Wang Qin, a son of Sichuan University who won the first prize of the 7th "Ma Zhitu Literature Award", handed the framed handwritten letter to Ma Lao's grandson Liu Xiaoyuan, and presented flowers on behalf of the students to wish Ma Lao a happy 108th birthday in advance.
