"I especially hope that more readers will get to know more outstanding female writers and writers in China through the annual selection, which is one of my wishes. Ignite more people's desire to write, the passion for writing. Recently, the latest collection of women's novels "Bright Moon and Plum Blossoms: Selected Chinese Women's Novels in 2023" and the collection of women's essays "Flowing Water Today: Selected Chinese Women's Essays in 2023" edited by Zhang Li, a professor at the School of Literature and Literature of Beijing Normal University, were published by Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House. At the sharing session at Shanghai Book City and Xinchao Book House, Zhang Li discussed with writers Huang Yuning, Qi Jinnian, Sansan, and Sun Qian, vice president of Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House, on the theme of "Reading and Writing from a Women's Perspective".
"Bright Moon and Plum Blossoms" is a collection of "Love", "Secret" and "Far Away", including 20 new short stories by female writers from the post-50s to the post-90s, including Ye Mi, Shao Li, Zhang Yiwei, Pan Xiangli, Sansan, Datouma, Zhu Jing and others;
This year is the fifth year that Zhang Li has presided over the compilation of the "Annual Selection of Chinese Women's Literature" series, and from 2023, the annual selection of women, mainly novels, will be divided into one novel and one prose, with the same selection criteria, but the stylistic compatibility is higher, and the collection of good writers and good works will be doubled. "The meaning of literature lies in 'seeing again', in 'seeing for the second time', in brushing away the stereotypes of things, and discovering the 'as it is' of the world. This is what good literature brings to us, and it is also brought about by reading and writing from a female perspective, and it is the uselessness of literature."
Huang Yuning observes that there has been only about one female Nobel Prize winner in literature in the past 100 years or so, but in the last decade, Nobel Prize winners have been almost half in gender, and "the whole world is rediscovering women." ”
"The female perspective is actually a pluralistic and tolerant gaze. The selected seniors and their peers have very different styles and themes of focus. Qi Jinnian admits that writing is a lonely thing, but the female writing community gathers together in the form of a book.
Sansan believes that women have a deeper soul hidden in their bodies and can do great things. "They may encounter obstacles and difficulties along the way, but they can all reach it in the end. We first listened to the fanciful theme song with pink bubbles, but we will eventually know what the world is like. ”
