Waking up in the morning, pulling back the curtains, the first rays of sunlight in Wuzhen shine through the mist. After washing, the first thing Lin Junmin (pen name "Ah Bo") did was to code words in front of the computer.
Ah Bo has been writing amateurs since 2005, and he is well-known in the field of online literature for his historical novels, including "Bian Rong", "Donghai Tu", "Lu Hai Giant Eunuch", "Tang Riding", "Shan Hai Jing Code" and so on. This doctor of literature and art is now a member of the Plenary Committee of the China Writers Association, the vice chairman of the Guangdong Writers Association, and a member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
This time to Wuzhen, Ah Bo told reporters, "At present, online literary writers are basically based on young people, I believe that in line with the tide of digitization and networking, in the future, young writers will be able to create more and better works in online literature and world literature, and can open up new areas that have not been seen before, and even innovate." In the next 20 years, there will be world-class writers among them. ”
After more than 20 years of development, Chinese online literature is no longer an "expression field" for personal desires, but a "witness place" for youth growth and national feelings. Letting the world understand the ancient China and entering the new China may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for this generation.
"China is willing to work with the world to shoulder the historical responsibility of seeking progress for mankind" and "let digital civilization benefit the people of all countries and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind". During the Wuzhen Summit and the China International Internet Literature Week, online literature writers, critics and representatives of key literary websites carefully studied President Xi Jinping's congratulatory letter to the Wuzhen Summit of the 2021 World Internet Conference. He Hong, deputy director and critic of the Network Literature Center of the China Writers Association, said that online literature is a microcosm of China's Internet innovation and application, and is a vivid embodiment of the concept of global Internet sharing and development. "We must bear in mind the 'great power of the country', fully understand the role and value of online literature, strive to achieve high-quality development, give play to the pulling role of the cultural industry, and consciously undertake the historical mission of building a cultural power; we must vigorously promote international dissemination, contribute Chinese wisdom to the development of world literature, and consolidate the cultural foundation of the community with a shared future for mankind."
Ren He, a post-90s online literature writer from Henan (pen name "Talking Elbow"), is an important representative of the new generation of online writers, and has created "phenomenon-level" works such as "The King Spares His Life" and "The First Sequence", writing about the inner growth of mortals to heroes, full of positive energy. "I often reflect on whether I am willing to show the stories I write to my children, so as to adhere to the bottom line of creation, and I hope that everyone will cherish the current good era of the development of online literature." At the Wuzhen Summit and the 2021 China International Online Literature Week Forum, Ren He said that online writers should welcome the scrutiny of thousands of readers and carry their mission.
Jiang Xiaoping (pen name "I Am Pure") from Guangxi has authored 8 works, including "God Controls the World", "The First God of War", "Heavenly Desolation", and "Just Defense", with more than 20 million words. In his view, literature has always been a hundred flowers blooming, competing for glory, and only then will more beautiful and exquisite stories emerge, which is determined by the development law of literature. He told the reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network, "Online literature should encourage the creation of realistic themes and write more works with the main theme, but it cannot ignore the needs of readers for various theme works such as urban, fantasy, and xianxia." There are also a large number of traditional Chinese cultural elements in fantasy-themed works, which continue many excellent Chinese traditions, write the strong and indomitable upward spirit of Chinese sons and daughters, and are an important part of going to the overseas literary market and transmitting China's excellent culture and Chinese values. Online literature creators should be supported and encouraged in the exploration of different types, so as to produce more good works with unified social and economic benefits, so that the online literature at the top of the entire pan-entertainment industry chain can deliver more and better content for the entire industrial chain, further expand and strengthen our cultural industry, and carry forward our cultural self-confidence. ”
