In response to the unfairness of the "Qingfeng Fangcheng" prize-winning essay selection activity questioned by netizens, the investigation team of the "Qingfeng Fangcheng" prize-winning essay activity in Fangcheng County, Nanyang City, Henan Province issued a statement in the early morning of October 31, saying that after a preliminary investigation, there were problems in the selection process, the selection results were invalid, and the investigation and handling would be released in due course.
According to previous reports, recently, the literary and artistic award-winning essay contest hosted by the Henan Chengxian Federation of Literary and Art Circles has aroused heated discussions among netizens. According to the list, 12 of the more than 20 award-winning articles are by the same author.
According to the screenshot of the online transmission, on October 26, 2023, the "Qingfeng Fangcheng" Literary and Artistic Works Prize-winning Essay Winners List Announced" released by the WeChat public account "Yuzhou Heart" of the Fangcheng County Federation of Literary and Art Circles shows that the award-winning essay activity is jointly sponsored by the Fangcheng County Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Fangcheng County Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and undertaken by relevant associations and the editorial department of Fangcheng County's "Yuzhou Heart".
As of the deadline of June 30, a total of 49 literary and artistic works have been received. There are 2 first prizes, 5 second prizes, 6 third prizes, and 10 encouragement awards, for a total of 23 award-winning works. The list shows that Qiao Mouli has 12 works awarded, and 1 first prize; 1 second prize; 4 third prizes; 6 encouragement awards. A reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News noticed that on October 30, the tweet had been deleted.
In this regard, netizens puzzled, why can one person win 12 awards? Some netizens noticed that Qiao Mouli was the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Yuzhou Voice", which hosted this event, "I hosted the event by myself, and my own people participated." When an athlete is a referee, how to ensure fairness? ”
According to the screenshot of the online circulation, the reporter noticed that among the 23 award-winning works, only 5 of the authors of the articles were not on the list of the editorial department of "Yuzhou Voice". The remaining 18 articles are members of the editorial department of "Yuzhou Voice".
Among them, 1 work of editor-in-chief Guo Moushui won the second prize; Deputy editor-in-chief Xiong Mouxiang's two works won the second prize and the third prize respectively; Editor-in-chief Qiao Mouli's 12 works won awards; Deputy editor-in-chief Li Mouyan's 1 work won the first prize; Editorial board member Liang Moufeng's 1 work won the second prize; One of the works of Wu Mouhua won the second prize.
On the morning of October 30, the reporter contacted Guo Moushui, editor-in-chief of the editorial board of "Yuzhou Heart", who said, "We are in a meeting, and we will contact you later." Subsequently, the reporter sent the interview request to the other party, but as of press time, there was no reply.
Subsequently, the reporter contacted the Fangcheng County Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the relevant person in charge said that it was the result of the preliminary evaluation, and it was posted on the Internet without the consent of the organizer, "It is being processed now." In response to netizens' questions, the person in charge said that it is definitely not suitable, this is an abnormal phenomenon, "We will announce the details through the official account, and then organize experts in the city to re-evaluate." ”
Zero's View: Being an Athlete and a Referee? It is okay not to do such an event
In an essay contest jointly sponsored by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and the County Federation of Literary and Art Circles, 12 of the 23 award-winning articles were written by the same author, and only 5 were written by "outsiders". Or is the level of ordinary people too poor, and only the humanities of the editorial department are brilliant? It's an athlete and a referee, what's the fairness of the game? With a super high school prize rate of 23 to 18, it is hard not to think that this is a self-entertainment of the editorial department, so since it is self-entertainment, why bother in the name of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles? Cultural events for the public should give everyone a fair and just opportunity to participate, it is not a platform for some people to make awards for themselves, and it should not become a talking point that is ridiculed.
