"Yes. We hope to select the best current works and give the most generous rewards to encourage serious creators.

Compared with the communication methods of art forms such as movies and television, literature is still not popular enough after all.

If we are able, we practitioners should still expand the influence of literature as much as possible.

After chatting with Lin Chaoyang for a long time, Cha Jianying finally found some valuable conversation content.

"The material rewards of the Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award are much more generous than the Mao Dun Literary Award. Do you think its influence is likely to surpass the Mao Dun Literary Award?"

"Since there is an award, of course it must be the best. Whether it can surpass the influence of the Mao Dun Literature Award is not up to me. All we can do is pursue excellence.

We just talked about international literary awards. If possible, I even hope that this award can go international, but obviously this is unrealistic given the current conditions."

Today's interview lasted for nearly two hours. Cha Jianying felt that Lin Chaoyang was not a good interviewee.

Often puts his own ideas above those of the interviewer.

She felt this when she read the interview in The Paris Review.

Moreover, she could feel a sense of wariness against Western culture in Lin Chaoyang's words. Such wariness seemed somewhat inappropriate in the current domestic environment.

Fortunately, the final interview was completed relatively smoothly. From her professional perspective, although it was not as exciting as the interview in "The Paris Review", there were still many things to note.

After the interview, Cha Jianying said: "After I compile the manuscript, it will take at least half a month before it can be published in the newspaper.

I’ll send you a copy after it’s published.”

"Okay, thank you."

Cha Jianying gave the copy of "The Paris Review" to Lin Chaoyang, and Lin Chaoyang paid for the coffee in return.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the cafe, a group of students suddenly gathered around them. Lin Chaoyang thought they might be enthusiastic readers, but he looked at the leading ones with expressions that looked wrong.

It's not like they're here to watch the fun, but rather they're here to cause trouble.

"Hello, is this Comrade Lin Chaoyang?"

"It's me. What's wrong with you guys?"

"Hello, Comrade Chaoyang, I am Lin Dongwei, the president of Yanlang Poetry Club. These are our members. These two are members of Chenxi Poetry Club. We are all students of Yan University."

After the leader introduced himself, he introduced the classmates around him, and then said:

"In the past two days, the comrades of our school's Youth League Committee are organizing an awards event called the Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award, and the May Fourth Literary Club has been designated as the special organization for the event.

I heard that you are a promoter of the awards and we would like to make a suggestion to you."

Lin Chaoyang nodded, with a gentle attitude, "Please speak."

"I have read the letter sent by the Literary and Art Association. The original intention of this award is to unite college students and use the power of our college students to select the most representative and outstanding literary works in the contemporary literary world.

But I think it is not enough for the award organizers to simply recruit literary societies like the May Fourth Literary Society.

We have literature lovers at Yan'an University not only in the May Fourth Literary Club, such as Yanlang Poetry Club and Chenxi Poetry Club, but also many students who are not keen on participating in club activities. They are also a powerful part of the award evaluation——"

Lin Dongwei made a long speech, which sounded reasonable and well-founded. His final appeal was that he hoped that more students (including Yanlang Poetry Society and Chenxi Poetry Society) should be included in the evaluation activities of the Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award within YDU.

While he was speaking, Lin Chaoyang had a calm face and his eyes were observing the status of the students following Lin Dongwei. They seemed to deeply approve of Lin Dongwei's speech.

After finally waiting for Lin Dongwei to express his opinion, Lin Chaoyang was about to speak when several people ran over not far away.

While running, he shouted: "Lin Dongwei, what are you doing?"

While they were talking, several people came up to them, breathing heavily and staring sharply at the group headed by Lin Dongwei.

"Lin Dongwei, what do you want to do?"

The leader who came after him wore glasses, which were almost as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. He looked polite, but the expression on his face was a little angry at this time.

"Nothing, we just want to talk to Comrade Chaoyang about the evaluation rules of the Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award." Lin Dongwei said confidently.

"The award procedures and organizational principles are agreed upon by the literary association. The selection of the May Fourth Literary Club was also confirmed by the Literary Association and the school league committee. What else do you have to talk about."

"Why can't we talk anymore? Is what the Literary and Art Association and the Youth League Committee have decreed? Do we have to listen to it?"

Lin Dongwei questioned the man with glasses unconvinced, and then asked Lin Chaoyang: "Comrade Chaoyang, shouldn't the awards be fair, impartial, and open? What's wrong with us literary lovers seeking to participate in the awards?"

The boy with glasses was afraid that Lin Chaoyang would be influenced by Lin Dongwei, so he hurriedly said: "Comrade Chaoyang, don't listen to him.

The organization of the awards activities has been successfully implemented——..."

At this time, Lin Chaoyang waved his hand and stopped the man with glasses.

"With so many people watching, let's find a quiet place to talk."

"Go to the Triangle!"

Lin Dongwei's proposal immediately attracted the approval of all the students present. The triangle area has always been a controversial place in Yanda, and it is in line with the current situation.
