Li Jingze's "< Departure from the > - Its Author, This Great Canonical Poet", Liu Daxian's "Hometown is a Foreign Country", Zhu Yong's "Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City" won the "Work Award", and Hu Donglin's "Notes on the Mountain Forest" won the "Special Award".
Li Jingze, vice chairman of the China Writers Association, Ai Wei, chairman of the Zhejiang Writers Association, Chen Dongjie, editor-in-chief of October magazine, and many other big names in the literary circles, yang Mingming, chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Zhang Zhenyu, president of the Municipal Association of Taiwan Compatriots and Taiwan Affiliates, and district leaders Zeng Ruihua, Zhou Jinping, Pan Xiaolin, Cao Danyan, and Li Qian attended the award ceremony.
Qi Jun, a famous contemporary writer, was originally named Pan Xizhen. In October 2016, the Ouhai District Committee and District Government and Beijing "October" magazine jointly established the "Qijun Prose Award", which has been the fifth edition, and 16 writers at home and abroad have won awards such as Zhang Wei, Baoerji Yuanye, Zhou Xiaofeng, Li Xiuwen, Jia Zhangke and so on. The "Qijun Prose Award" has become an influential literary award at home and abroad, and has played an important role in promoting the economic, social and cultural development of Ouhai District. The event was hosted by Ouhai District Committee and District Government and October Magazine. The event was specially selected at the "Qijun Literature Museum" in Sanxi Middle School in Ouhai District, which is the former residence where Qijun spent 14 years of childhood.
At the scene, the quaint courtyard and elaborate programs conveyed a strong literary atmosphere in the cool night. The whole awards party took "The moon is the hometown of Ming" as the theme, and divided into chapters such as "oranges are red", "water is sweet in the hometown", "a thousand strands of love in green shirts". "It is a special feeling to be able to hold an award ceremony under the night sky and in the courtyard where nostalgia is placed, and to gather together in the name of the Qijun Prose Award, I would like to thank Ou Hai and Qu Xi on behalf of the winners." Critic and essayist Li Jingze said at the award ceremony. His award-winning work "< Di Li > - Its Author, This Great Canonical Poet", re-reads the poetry classics from the perspective of the history of civilization, and tells the origin, survival and continuation of "Chinese self-consciousness" with a sense of distancing. Touching the scene, Li Jingze said that what he wants to be most is to be a student, always study, write well, and write articles well.
Winner Liu Daxian's "Hometown is a Foreign Country", which describes the family experience of spending the last time with his father in his hometown, is a lyrical multi-son, individual and hometown, death and inheritance, and is also a vernacular sociological observation in the background of the great flow of the times. In his acceptance speech, he said that each of us is a person with a hometown, and our feelings for our hometown, especially in such a very changeable era, are full of emotions that are difficult to let go, which is intrinsically consistent with Mr. Qi Jun's prose.
"When I look back at the six hundred years of the Forbidden City, I not only see architectural, cultural relics, and materialized heritage, but also a kind of look and dialogue with people who have lived in the environment of the Forbidden City." Zhu Yong, a writer and documentary filmmaker, sighed when reviewing the cultural dissemination of the Forbidden City in recent years. His award-winning work "Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City" is a collection of works to decipher the Forbidden City, and with the dedication of a writer and the extensive knowledge of scholars, he has counted the past and present lives of the Forbidden City, giving the great Forbidden City an irreplaceable civilization and inheritance in the history of the Chinese nation.
The winner Hu Donglin spent more than 5 years plunging into the mountain forest, concentrating on observing the animals, plants and fungi of Changbai Mountain, writing a diary essay "Mountain Forest Scattering", leaving millions of words of ecological literature, and he died of illness in 2017. The award speech commented on him: "In his pen, it is naturally real and perceptible, and the literature is intimate and moving." ”
Zeng Ruihua, deputy secretary of the Ouhai District Party Committee and mayor of the district, said in his speech that the Ouhai District Party Committee and the District Government have always attached great importance to the excavation of Qijun culture, and have made every effort to build the Qijun cultural brand through a series of measures such as building the Qijun Literature Museum, holding the Qijun Cultural Festival, and establishing the Qijun Cultural Research Association. In the future, the Ouhai District Party Committee and the Ouhai District Government will adhere to the "Qijun Culture" as the guide, with the goal of building a Wenzhou regional cultural center, and continue to launch a number of characteristic cultural brands. At the same time, it is hoped that the China Writers Association, October Magazine, as well as experts, scholars, and literary "big coffee" can continue to care about Ouhai and publicize Ouhai, and take this award ceremony as an opportunity to actively guide excellent creations and continue to develop and expand nostalgia culture.
