At the scene, Xu Zechen, a writer who won the Mao Dun Literature Award, also had a face-to-face exchange with the famous online writer "The Squid Who Loves Diving". Xu Zechen is considered the "glory of a post-70s writer" in China, and his works are considered to "mark the spiritual vision that a person may reach in his youth". His work "If the Snow Closes the Door" won the 6th Lu Xun Literature Award Short Story Award, and in August 2019, he won the 10th Mao Dun Literature Award with "Going North"; "The Squid Who Loves Diving" is the pioneer of the Western Fantasy Arcane Theme and steampunk theme of online literature, and his representative work "Extinction Catalogue" is known as the representative of classical Xianxia works, "Arcane Divine Seat" is the pioneering work of the Western Fantasy Arcane Theme, "Martial Master" and "Lord of Mystery" not only won many important awards in the industry, but also been permanently collected by the National Library.
Xu Zechen believes that if you want to write a good life in the present and want to know the Chinese of the moment, "a very important path is to 'turn back'. This 'look back' is not a simple retro, nor is it a rule or a chapter body, but we find something that can be used for us to deal with the current life from the traditional literary narrative resources, folk narrative resources, and cultural resources. "Squid who loves diving" also said: "We Chinese like family warmth, family feelings, handle things in a softer way, and tend to be more introverted." Therefore, I hope to gently construct the image of the protagonist through Oriental philosophy by extracting the typical personality of the individual and the people around me, the typical way of doing things for people. ”
The two also shared their own visions for the future of literature. In Xu Zechen's view, "the literature of the future is to say that this is us as soon as we see it, to be able to see the past, to see the state of the present, and to some extent, to foresee some of the future we may have." "Squid" believes that "online literature to become universal literature can not be separated from family, friendship, love, but also need to add some reflection of reality, family and country feelings, and the world." ”
