Qianjiang Evening News hourly news reporter Zhang Jinhua

After a week of hot voting wrestling, the Spring Wind List 66 Good Books Readers' Favorite Good Book Selection was released this spring.

Let's look at it together —

The non-fiction Huo Xiangjie's "The Complete Works of the Bronze Seat" won the first place with 2693 votes, the non-fiction "Red Ship Departure" won the second place with 2305 votes, and the fictional Cheng Yongxin's "If Only the First Sight" won the third place with 2070 votes.

Two other books, Hangzhou writer and poet Wang Ziliang's "Jili Biography" and Chengdu writer Du Yanglin's "Sting", followed, with more than 1,000 votes.

The books in the sixth to tenth category are: Yu Zhenhong's non-fiction "Poetry and Grass", followed by four novels: Li Fengqun's "Great Hope", Hao Jingfang's "Cosmic Jumper", Yu Hua's "Wencheng", and "Echoes" of Dongxi.

In contrast, translated books are slightly unpopular compared to fictional and non-fiction books. "The Only Story", which ranked first in the translation category, ranked 13 out of all 66 good books.

Judging from the week's reader votes, there are also some books written by heavyweight writers and scholars, and there is a situation of applause or not. How to let more good books enter the vision of the majority of readers is indeed a major topic for "reading for all" in the future.

If the "Spring Wind List" has a mission, it is to let more truly valuable good books blow the earth like the spring wind, be discovered, seen, read, and loved.

According to the rules of the Spring Wind List, the first place in the voting of three individual readers - "The Complete Works of Bronze Seats", "If Only the First Sight" and "The Only Story" will directly enter the nomination list of the major awards of the Spring Wind Awards.

Curious, let's take a look at what these three books are written about?

About the Complete Works of the Copper Seat, a very, very thick book of 941 pages, the author Huo Xiangjie was born in Guilin in the 1970s, and is a potential writer of Chinese literature, an artist who is difficult to classify. The reporter opened the book with curiosity, but also was "stunned", this must be a strange book, this author is very talented, a book involving the content includes: territory, language, customs research, Yu Hengzhi, liechuan, art and literature, I don't know how long the author wrote this strange book of nearly 800,000 words, and the publishing house Writers Publishing House has a unique vision, published this book, must need a lot of courage.

Hu Wenjian, general manager of the Writers Publishing House, is a well-known old publisher in the circle, and after ten years of spring wind, the reporter has an impression of him, and he is indeed very eager to promote literary newcomers, as well as avant-garde writers who are not so traditional. Kang He, who had previously written Anthropology, was one, and this time, Huo Xiangjie's Complete Works of the Bronze Seat also seemed to have a kind of observation and construction of a huge, complex, and wonderful world, which was very interesting. But after reading these 941 pages, I believe that it is a great challenge for readers, even for judges.

Hu Wenjian promoted the book in this way, saying: The author of the Chronicle of the Spirit, a holistic writer who combines many different names. Single-handedly, he changed the way he wrote novels. Huo Xiangjie's ambition is obviously more advanced, he not only regards a village as a carrier of history and a field of time, but also regards a village as an immortal person, a book that includes all things, and this person and this book are the "Complete Works of Bronze Seats" in front of him. It is a synthesis of writing methods and a fieldwork excavation, and as a result, in the book, a village called the Copper Seat acquires a lasting vitality.

Are you curious about this book? Anyway, I'm curious.

The good book that won the first place in the fiction category is Cheng Yongxin's novel collection "If Only the First Sight", which is not very surprising. Why? Who is Cheng Yongxin? The editor-in-chief of Harvest magazine is estimated to be the top five in China so far with the most original Chinese novel manuscripts (the other is perhaps Jin Yucheng, the editor-in-chief of Shanghai Literature), and we can imagine such a scene, how many novel manuscripts have been read by Cheng Yongxin, how many novel authors have been killed, and how many novel authors in the country? Now, their opportunity has come, and they can finally watch this book written by Cheng Yongxin for "revenge", if only the first sight is written, what is Cheng Yongxin's own novel, too many people want to know. As a result, we saw more than 2,000 votes of likes, in fact, Cheng Yongxin was a pioneering novelist 30 years ago, and 30 years later, he returned, and "if only the first sight", this is what Shanghainese call, "tone".

Li Weichang, vice president of the Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, gave the following recommendation: As the editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Harvest, Cheng Yongxin is the closest witness to the scene of Chinese literature for decades, and this book is his newly completed collection of novels.

"If Only the First Sight" starts from individual experience and is deeply marked with the soul of the 1980s and 1990s with cruelty, passion and freedom; "The Shape of the Wind" tells the story of a college student knocking on the iron door of an old mansion in a hot afternoon, "Qingcheng Mountain" involves history and martial arts themes to explore the relationship between ideas, dreams and human nature; "Mahjong World" tells the story of friendship, love and a life of cups and cups. "My Chiang Mai, My Teresa Teresa" uses sentimental emotions and moderation to write about Teresa's relationship with an era. The themes and styles of the five novels are completely different, but in the end, they still fall into the past that happened in our Chinese society, as Yu Hua said, in this collection of novels, "both we and them are written." In any case, the foothold of the novel is still in human nature and our spiritual life in China for decades.

"If only the first sight", how beautiful.

The first good book in the translation category is "The Only Story", written by Julian Barnes and translated by Guo Guoliang. Guo Guoliang is a well-known translator who teaches at Zhejiang University. Julian Barnes was born in 1946 as a contemporary British writer. Graduated from Oxford University, he participated in the compilation of the Oxford English Dictionary and worked as a literary editor and critic for many years. In the 1980s, he was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for his breakthrough work Flaubert's Parrot, making him one of the leading writers in the British literary scene. He has since swept major literary awards, three times the Booker Prize finalist, which he won in 2011 for "The Feeling of the End" and the David Cohen Lifetime Achievement Award in English Literature in the same year.

This is the recommendation given by Yuan Nan, editor-in-chief of Yilin Publishing House, let us get a glimpse of what kind of book this is-

In love, everything is both true and false. For the topic of love, it is not ridiculous to say anything.

Paul, a young man from suburban London, returned home from a vacation and joined a tennis club. His partner, Susan, is a married woman in her forties with two daughters. The two fell in love. Paul rescues Susan from a bad marriage, but has to be separated because of Susan's alcoholic nature. The love that was once there was gone, leaving only regret and resentment...

Opening this book, in this epidemic period, perhaps we hope that in all situations, love is our only story.

Please continue to pay attention to the Spring Breeze Yue Reading List, who will spend the final major awards, the Spring Wind Jury is in full swing, stay tuned.
