Cao Wenxuan, writer, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award and professor at Peking University, explained the significance of the establishment of the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup from the perspective of the relationship between writing and civilization. One is that writing creates civilization. Writing is a unique human act, and this ability is extremely important to human beings. The history of human writing is the history of human civilization, and writing enables the knowledge acquired by human beings in practice to be recorded, circulated and remembered. The second is that writing allows human thought to be preserved and communicated, and human beings begin to enter a real civilization, and in this never-ending exchange, they move towards a more and more advanced civilization.
Gao Hongbo, a writer of children's literature, former vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, and director of the jury of the "Relay Cup Jinbo Children's Literature Award" and "Relay Cup Cao Wenxuan Children's Novel Award", said that the "double awards" of the relay cup are very pure and have a great leading role in the creation of children's novels and children's literature in China. In China, there are few awards dedicated to young children's literature, and only one of the seven categories in the National Award for Outstanding Children's Literature is awarded. He hopes that the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup will continue to be held after three sessions, five sessions, and ten sessions, so that it will become a particularly important outstanding children's literature award that not only belongs to Guangxi, but also belongs to the whole country and even the world.
Qin Wenjun, a children's literature writer, vice chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association, and a judge of the "Relay Cup Cao Wenxuan Children's Novel Award", pointed out that the books selected by the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup are pure books, valuable books, and books with literary spirit. The "Double Award" works of the Relay Cup have the literary spirit that many domestic children's literature lacks in them.
Xue Weimin, the winner of the "2nd Relay Cup Jinbo Children's Literature Award", served as a judge of the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup, and also competed for the selection of the Relay Cup Jinbo Children's Literature Award, so he was deeply touched by the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup, and he said that the Relay Publishing House was able to set up the Jinbo Children's Literature Award specifically for young children, and made great contributions to the development of Chinese children's literature, especially how to grow and progress rapidly in children's literature.
Wang Yongying, a children's literature writer and gold medal-winning writer of the "3rd Relay Cup Cao Wenxuan Children's Novel Award", talked about the origin of the creation of the gold medal work "Grandma in the Wolf's Cave" of the "3rd Relay Cup Cao Wenxuan Children's Novel Award". She hopes that through this family story of her grandmother and granddaughter, she will bring the children the strength to grow.
Shi Weiwen, deputy general manager of Guangxi Publishing and Media Group, said that Guangxi Publishing and Media Group and Jieli Publishing House are determined to do a good job in the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup, attract more people to devote themselves to the creation of children's literature, further stimulate the creative enthusiasm of the majority of children's literature writers, improve the taste and quality of original children's literature works and children's books, and strive to make the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup a children's literature award that can lead creation, lead publishing and have wide influence.
Bai Bing, editor-in-chief of Jieli Publishing House, children's literature writer, and secretary-general of the organizing committee of the "Relay Cup Jinbo Children's Literature Award" and "Relay Cup Cao Wenxuan Children's Novel Award", introduced the publication and social impact of the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup. Up to now, a total of 44 award-winning and outstanding works have been published in the "Double Award" of the Relay Cup, and the book circulation is 1.231 million copies. Among them, 26 works have been published in the three Relay Cup Jinbo Children's Literature Awards, with a cumulative circulation of 767,000, and 18 works have been published in the three Relay Cup Cao Wenxuan Children's Fiction Awards, with a cumulative circulation of 464,000 copies. Among the published works of the Relay Cup "Double Award", a total of 20 works of the Relay Cup Jinbo Children's Literature Award have been exported to 19 countries and regions such as the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Egypt, and a total of 7 works of the Relay Cup Cao Wenxuan Children's Novel Award have been exported to 7 countries including Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, and Malaysia, which have had a certain international impact.
At present, the 4th Relay Cup "Double Award" is in progress, and the deadline is June 10, 2025, and we welcome contributions from children's literature creators to jointly promote the high-quality development of Chinese children's literature creation and children's book publishing!

Cao Wenxuan, a writer, Hans Christian Andersen Award winner and professor at Peking University, said that he is very concerned about the publication of the "Stories of Chinese Pioneers" series. He said: "How a writer writes about a hero is a test for a writer. The writers of the "Chinese Pioneer Stories Collection" series are more concerned about the hero's heart, more concerned about the seemingly ordinary but difficult for ordinary people to do, and more concerned about the details. The power of heroes is enormous, but heroes are human beings first, and then heroes, so their power is even greater. ”
Children's literature writer, vice chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association, "Chinese Pioneer Stories Collection" series of writers on behalf of Qin Wenjun has created "Boy Jiali", "Girl Jia Mei", "Transformation School" and other works, "Qin Yi - Beautiful Life" is one of her few biographical novels, Qin Wenjun said: "In order to write this book, I consulted a large number of materials, historical materials, interviews, etc., and had a deeper understanding of Qin Yi's beautiful artistic dream, severe life trajectory, and broad psychological process, especially eternal love and pursuit. This heartfelt touch, love, and deep resonance supported me to complete "Qin Yi - Beautiful Life", which is also a beautiful climb in my creative career. ”
Wang Yongying, a children's literature writer and representative of the "Chinese Pioneer Stories Collection" series, shared her experience and insights on the creation of "Huang Wenxiu - The Flower of Youth", she said: "Wenxiu has planted dreams in the hearts of many children in this mountainous area, so she has become the most beautiful dreamer. The "Chinese Pioneer Stories Collection" series is spiritual energy, pioneers are like a beacon to lead us to grow, they are like stars in the sky worthy of our admiration and learning, accompany our children to grow. ”
Huang Jian, President of Relay Publishing House, gave a detailed introduction to the publishing principles, publicity and distribution of the "Chinese Pioneer Stories" series and future plans. This series of books invites domestic first-class children's literature writers and painters to create. From the perspective of children, with touching real details and vivid images, the series not only has a strong ideology and orientation, but also is rich in literature and readability, helping teenagers to cast their souls. The publishing house will continue to extend, revise, polish and strive for perfection in an open structure, so as to make this series a classic version that can be passed down to the world. As of June 2024, there will be 100 titles in the "Chinese Pioneer Stories" series, which will be divided into ten sub-series, including the "Science Pioneer Stories" series, the "Stylistic Pioneer Stories" series, the "Medical Pioneer Stories" series, the "Battle Hero Stories" series, and the "Pioneer Collective Stories" series.
Shi Weiwen, deputy general manager of Guangxi Publishing and Media Group, said that in the future, under the leadership and support of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Propaganda Department of the Guangxi District Party Committee, Guangxi Publishing and Media Group will continue to support the two publishing houses in publishing and distributing this series of books well, so that this series of books will continue to have a greater impact.

What is good about a good picture book - how to read a picture book sharing session
On the morning of April 21, Cao Wenxuan, Bai Bing, Bao Dongni, and Nie Jun discussed the topic of "What is good about good picture books - how to read picture books".
Group photo of the writers of the picture book sharing session
Cao Wenxuan, a writer, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award and a professor at Peking University, believes that picture books occupy a very important position in the world's children's reading. Cao Wenxuan said, "First of all, it is a brilliant idea, secondly, it must be literary and artistic, so that the story can travel through time and space, and finally it is the picture in a picture book." For example, the painter of "The Hoop Brothers" is the Polish painter Ivana, who has been selected for the Hans Christian Andersen Award four times, and her painting of "The Hoop Brothers" is the relationship between circles and objects, not only the iron rings, but also the relationship between the hoops and other objects, so that other objects are reframed, which will be surprisingly pleasant. So many years ago, I gave a definition of a picture book and called it a 'boundless picture book'. ”
Bai Bing, editor-in-chief of Relay Publishing House and a writer of children's literature, shared his understanding of a good picture book, and he believes that a good picture book must have multiple meanings, with wonderful creativity and design, with the structure of a novel, the narrative language of a short story or a micro-novel, just like a wonderful micro-film or blockbuster, with a story line, a character line, an emotional line and a fate line. Bai Bing also suggested that parents should follow the following points when choosing books for their children: first, read some books that introduce the important works of important writers and painters in ancient and modern China and abroad, such as "World Picture Book Reading and Classics", etc., second, select classic works by famous writers and painters, third, choose picture books published by professional children's publishing houses, fourth, choose picture books suitable for children's age groups, and fifth, choose picture books that are catchy to read.
Bao Dongni, a children's literature writer and a member of the Chinese Writers Association, believes that good picture books have their own characteristics, just like a movie, with different forms of artistic expression, but in general, the foundation of picture books lies in the story, which should be based on words, which is its core. As a children's writer who loves travel and birdwatching, she combined her more than 20 years of bird-watching experience to create "My Bird Friend", and the success of this set of picture books is not only due to the authors themselves, but also to the joint efforts of illustrators, picture book designers, art editors, copy editors and publishers.
Nie Junziqian, a young cartoonist and picture book writer, is a "newcomer" in the field of picture books and has his own understanding of picture books. He believes that picture books are a co-creation between the author and the reader, and everyone needs to participate together, and the writer should leave some space for the reader, so that the reader has the possibility of creation, so that the whole work will become very full and rich. He said that picture books are born from words, so in picture books, words are the soul, pictures are the outer packaging, and the combination of a good text author and a good painter is very rare, and it can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In "The Fairy Tale of the Old Street", Nie Jun tried to write and paint himself, and the creation of text stories in the early stage occupied 60%-70% of his entire creative time, not only collecting materials and doing pastoral research, but also constantly polishing the text.
