Lin Chaoyang had heard about the Literary Lecture Center when listening to others chatting before. The full name of the Literary Lecture Center in Ding Ling's mouth was the Literary Lecture Center of the Chinese Literary Association. It was first established in 1950 and closed in 1957. The Ding Ling in front of him is the Literary Lecture Center.

The founder of the seminar.

In January of this year, the literature training center was just restored and is currently preparing to open the school.

Lin Chaoyang just heard from everyone that many of the award-winning authors of this National Outstanding Short Story Award have received invitations from the Institute of Literature and Literature, such as Jiang Zilong, Chen Shixu, Aikbal and others. These people will become members of the Institute of Literature and Literature in a few days.

The fifth batch of students of the institute.

Lin Chaoyang also heard that his mother Guozheng had also received an invitation from the Institute of Literature and Literature, but he refused without hesitation.

Lin Chaoyang's situation is different from that of his mother, who was invited but declined. He was not invited at all.

"I won't go, I still have to work."

In front of Ding Ling, the founder of the Literary Lecture Center, Lin Chaoyang could not say that he was not invited at all, so he could only say it tactfully.

Ding Ling naturally heard the implication of Lin Chaoyang's words. Zhang Guangnian smiled and joked: "It's a pity to be a student with Chaoyang's level, but it would be good to be a teacher."

Lin Chaoyang can be said to be the most watched young writer in the Chinese literary world in the past two years. Whether it is a short story or a novella, almost every work has formed a strong influence. This situation is extremely rare in the Chinese literary world.

Therefore, in the eyes of many readers and literary circles, his level is far superior to that of writers of his generation, so it is not surprising that Zhang Guangnian said such a thing.

Liu Xinwu, who was standing by, heard what he said and said: "Chaoyang has done a lot of research on contemporary literature, and the article he wrote before about scar literature was very insightful."

After Liu Xinwu said this, the expressions of several award-winning writers around him became subtle.

"The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" was published in the middle of last year. At that time, there was a big debate between the Xichun School and the Pianzuo School in the literary world. As soon as this article was published, it was pushed to the forefront of public opinion. For this reason, Lin Chaoyang did not miss

Get scolded.

Now times have changed, Liu Xinwu suddenly mentioned this matter, and everyone was a little bit in a good mood, because many of the judges present today were the masterminds behind the big debate between the Xichun faction and the Pianzuo faction.

But after Liu Xinwu said these words, everyone waited for a long time. The big guys present were still chatting and laughing without any intention of caring, which disappointed some people who were waiting to watch the excitement.

"Scar literature is not very popular recently, but reflective literature is quite popular, and Chaoyang's "Wrangler" seems to be among them." Zhang Guangnian joked again.

"I remember Ding Ling also wrote a review for "Wrangler", right? This is called discerning people with a keen eye."

The atmosphere of the symposium remained relaxed and pleasant until the end. In the evening, the Literary and Art Association organized a banquet. There were much fewer people than during the day. This was mainly because some judges were in poor health and left after the symposium.

It was already past eight o'clock when Lin Chaoyang returned home on his bicycle. The sound of his entry was like an alarm bell, which immediately attracted the attention of the Tao family.

It seemed that the whole family was waiting for him, and everyone looked at Lin Chaoyang.

After a day out, his tunic suit was wrinkled and his face looked a little tired.

Tao Yumo was the first to jump up, "Brother-in-law, where is the prize?"

Lin Chaoyang handed her the cloth bag in his hand, and Tao Yumo took it unceremoniously, then dug out the certificate and commemorative book.

"Ah! I really won two awards!"

Tao Yumo cheered and showed the certificate to his family, who passed it around one by one as if reviewing it.

After Tao Yumo read the certificate of award, his eyes were fixed on the two commemorative books that Lin Chaoyang brought back.

The cover of the commemorative album is printed with the portrait of Mr. Lu Xun, and the content includes the list of members of the current jury, award-winning works, list of writers and the contents of the award-winning works.

"Brother-in-law, do you have two souvenir albums?" Tao Yumo asked pointedly.

Winning two awards means not two commemorative books?

Tao Yumo seemed to be asking nonsense, but his little thoughts could be seen through at a glance.

Before Lin Chaoyang could express his position, Tao Yushu said: "Don't think about good things, this is a national award."

Hearing this, Tao Yumo looked disappointed and muttered: "The two copies are exactly the same, isn't one copy enough?"

“Two commemorative albums prove that I have won two awards!”

Tao Yushu said something, stroking the certificate in his hand, his face full of joy, and he looked at Lin Chaoyang with tender eyes.

The National Outstanding Short Story Award is the first national literary award held since the founding of New China, and its value is self-evident.

After sharing the joy of winning the award with his family, Lin Chaoyang and his wife returned to their room.

Tao Yushu heard from Lin Chaoyang that some award-winning writers were invited to study at literary institutes, but he was not invited, and he felt a little regretful.

"This kind of invitation is negotiated by publications and lectures. I am so young, and if people don't invite me, they have recognized that my level is no longer needed to participate in this kind of study." Lin Chaoyang said to Tao Yushu in a slightly showy tone.

.

"I know, you are amazing, you are now a nationally famous writer!"

Tao Yushu's tone is charming and makes people's hearts itch.

Lin Chaoyang's hands wrapped around her slender waist, and the couple looked at each other, understanding each other.

It was another hot and hot night.

Early the next morning, "People's Daily" published Xinhua News Agency's special report on this year's National Outstanding Short Story Award:

"Amidst warm applause, Mao Dun, director of the selection committee and leader of the Chinese Literary and Art Association, distributed commemorative albums with Lu Xun's portrait and bonuses to the authors of the 27 winning short stories. He hoped that future Lu Xuns would emerge from among them.

.”

"Mao Dun, the leader of the China Literary and Art Association, also spoke at the meeting. He said that this award was judged by the masses. Practice is the criterion for testing truth, and this time the works were tested by the masses."

"It is worth mentioning that during this year's awards process, there was a writer who won two awards for his two works. He is Xu Lingjun, the author of "The Wrangler", and Wang Qinglai, the author of "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit".

His real name is Lin Chaoyang, and he is a librarian at the Yenching University Library. At the award ceremony, Lin Chaoyang delivered a speech titled "Literature should give power to the people" on behalf of the award-winning author.

He said: 'The 1980s, which is about to begin, will be an era full of changes and ideals, and culture and art will surely usher in vigorous development. Literature has the role and value of mirroring history and exploring the future. Literature is what is loved by the people.

The foundation for taking root and sprouting, literature must give strength to the people.'"

In the days after the award ceremony, the jury organized three consecutive days of symposiums. Today, Lin Chaoyang still has to participate in the National Outstanding Short Story Award, so he can only ask for leave.

He has not appeared in the library in the past two days, but his popularity among colleagues in the library remains high.

Yesterday was the award day, there was no news, colleagues were quite calm, they just chatted about Lin Chaoyang occasionally.

But today the situation is different. People in the library have the habit of reading and reading newspapers. "People's Daily" reported yesterday's award ceremony in a special article, and the content about Lin Chaoyang occupied a considerable part of the report.

This is the People's Daily!

What shocked colleagues even more was that the report actually said that Lin Chaoyang won the award for two works!

Everyone used to know that his pen name was Xu Lingjun, and that it was a high probability event for "Wrangler" to win the award.

But no one expected that Lin Chaoyang actually had a pen name called Wang Qinglai, and his book "Qiu Ju Litigation" published under this pen name also won the award.

Two works won awards in one evaluation. What is the value of this?

After reading the special report in the People's Daily, colleagues in the library were full of wonder.

Recalling that when Lin Chaoyang first entered the library, he was always labeled as "Professor Tao's son-in-law," "rural person," and "a soft-boiler." In the eyes of many people, he could only enter the Yanda Library.

Undoubtedly a great deal of luck and chance.

Now a year and a half has passed, and Lin Chaoyang has proved his talent with facts, as well as Tao Yushu's unique insight and Professor Tao's family's ability to recognize people.

This is not a country bumpkin from the countryside. He is clearly a gold nugget covered in sand!

"I can't believe that Chaoyang actually has a pen name!"

During lunch, Du Rong sighed and said.

"I had read the letter written to him by Shanghai Literature and Art before. At that time, I thought he had been rejected. I didn't expect..."

Hu Wenqiong's tone was also full of exclamation.

As soon as this morning's "People's Daily" was published, people in the library rushed to read it. The news spread throughout the library in less than half an hour.

Du Rong was chewing vegetables and suddenly shouted, "Oh, why am I so stupid?"

"What's wrong?" Hu Wenqiong asked.

Du Rong clapped her hands in annoyance and said: "I watched the movie "Parental Love" published on "Harvest" before and chatted with Chaoyang. His behavior was wrong at that time. I only realized it now. No wonder he was

That kind of tone. Oh, it’s really..."

The more Du Rong talked, the more annoyed she became. She felt a sense of shame that she was trying to do something for everyone, and she also felt regretful that she had not discovered Lin Chaoyang's "true face" earlier.

"This Lin Chaoyang is really well hidden!" She said bitterly.

While the two were eating, a figure rushed out of the library and rushed to Building 32 on the south side of Yanyuan.

Zhang Yaozhong rushed upstairs in one breath. Without enough time to take a breath, he kicked open the door of dormitory 332, startling several classmates who had just finished eating and were preparing to rest.

"Yew Chung, did you take the wrong medicine?" Li Tong shouted.

Zhang Yaozhong had no time to pay attention to Li Tong's dissatisfaction and shouted: "Chaoyang's novel won an award! National Outstanding Short Story Award!"

No one was surprised when they heard this. Li Tong said: "What should I take? Isn't that normal? It would be strange if it is not possible."

"The Wrangler" has been published for a year and a half, and its influence across the country is huge. Last year, it was not selected for the National Outstanding Short Story Award because it was published late. This year is the second award, and it is also the turn of "Wrangler"

"Wrangler", it is natural to win the award.

Seeing that everyone did not understand what was going on, Zhang Yaozhong shouted loudly: "Chaoyang won the award for not one, but two works!"

At this time, Chen Jiangong, who had just laid down, finally realized. He and Lin Chaoyang were familiar with each other on weekdays, and he also knew a lot about Lin Chaoyang's published works. He stood up and asked: "Two articles? Which other article? He just said
