"It was a surprise to me that Li Jieren's Past: 1925-1952 won the award, because I didn't know in advance that I participated in the selection, which also shows that the award is fair." Yesterday (April 23), Chengdu writer Gong Jingyan spent four years, consulted thousands of archives, sorted out the accounts of witnesses, and wrote the book "Li Jieren's Past: 1925-1952", which won the 2021 Annual Work Award of One Way Street Bookstore, and the joint awards were also "Ordered" and Chen Nianxi's "Dust". It is reported that the award was jointly nominated by one-way street bookstores and 100 independent bookstores across the country.
The Story of Li Jieren: 1925-1952
For Gong, the book's award is as gratifying as winning word of mouth. "I think that the book "The Past of Li Jieren: 1925-1952" can win this award, which is a good thing for the study of Mr. Li Jieren. Li Jieren deserves to be the soul of modern And contemporary Sichuan literature, and more people should know about him. ”
Works of the Year
Admittedly, Gong Jingyan spent a lot of energy in the book "The Past of Li Jieren". In the book, he presented for the first time precious public and private letters, meeting minutes, correspondence, business books and other first-hand historical materials to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Mr. Li Jieren's birth. As soon as this book came out, it was selected as one of the top ten best books of the year in the Commercial Press in 2021, which is one of the most important reading lists in the domestic publishing industry.
