On December 15, 1982, 600 people from the literary and artistic circles participated in the first awarding ceremony of the Mao Dun Literature Award at the Great Hall of the People today. The six writers who won the Mao Dun Literature Award held copper medals and paid tribute to the people who came to congratulate them. Zhou Keqin, who had just come from rural Sichuan and walked to the podium with the smell of earthy, said: "I don't feel the joy of success, but more ashamed and uneasy. I feel that the burden on my shoulders is heavier and the tasks on my shoulders are heavier. It is. "Wei Wei, the author of" Oriental ", only had one sentence in his heart: Serve the people. Yao Xueyin, who has been dedicated to creating historical themes for decades, regards rewards as a spur. He said that the second volume of "Li Zicheng" is not yet finalized, and I want to revise it better. Winning the award enabled Mo Yingfeng (author of "General's Yin"), who is engaged in amateur creation, to embark on the road of literature more firmly. He said: "I am willing to work hard to add another brick to the construction of a new literary building with China style. Li Guowen (author of "Spring in Winter"), who has experienced ups and downs on the road to creation and life, told reporters that he was not disappointed in the suffering because he did not leave the party and the people. In the future, he will use his pen to answer the care and honor given by the party and the people. The forty-year-old Gu Hua was excited and thinking calmly: Winning the prize can only show that there is still a long way to go in the past. "I will go deep into life hard, pursue artistic pursuits hard, and climb the Olympus Mountains of contemporary literature with young and middle-aged authors!" Literary seniors are paying attention to this largest award event in the literary world since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Ba Jin wrote a written speech from his sickbed. Zhou Yang's speech raised an important topic: adhere to the "Double Hundred" policy and promote the development of art criticism. He said that only through discussion and competition can literature and art flourish and develop. The diversity of artistic forms and styles, and in-depth research on artistic issues will make writers feel at ease and have a sense of social responsibility. He also emphasized the need to protect talents and make greater breakthroughs in literary creation. In an inconspicuous seat are also the responsible editors of six award-winning works. They once worked "very hard" for the publication of the novel, but today they are unwilling to share "any glory".
