Chapter 351 Rebuilding the context! Sir is the backbone of the nation! The youngest winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in history!

Whether it is the East or the West, whether it is Asia or North America, if one wants to select the most valuable literary award, then there is no doubt that this literary award——

It can only be the Nobel Prize for Literature!

For some reasons, either because of marginal areas or because of political tendencies, countries around the world have not yet reached a reasonable consensus on the value of literary awards.

For example, there are four prestigious literary awards in China: Mao Dun Literary Award, Lao She Literary Award, Cao Yu Drama and Literary Award, and Lu Xun Literary Award.

Even though these four major literary awards are relatively well-known in China, after leaving China.

It seems like not many people know them?

In the eyes of the Chinese, the most valuable literary award in Asia must be the Mao Dun Literary Award.

In the eyes of Japanese people, the most valuable literary award in Asia must be the Akutagawa Literature Prize.

Because of different nationalities and different geographical environments, everyone's recognition of their respective domestic literary awards must be very different.

However, there must be an exception to this——

That’s the Nobel Prize for Literature!

Regardless of region, nationality, or political stance, when it comes to the highest honor in contemporary literature, it must be the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Looking at literary awards around the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature has a very special status in the world. It has the most generous prize money, the most solemn ceremony, the most widespread influence, and the most noble status. History has proven that, except for a few exceptions, almost all of the best writers recognized in the world have won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Based on this, the Nobel Prize for Literature is regarded as the most authoritative and important in the world. Literary Awards. The winner and his works will be recorded in the literary history of the world and even his country, and even——

It will also be regarded as the glory of a nation and a country!

So far, China has never had a writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. However, throughout the history of Chinese literature, there have been several modern writers like Jiang Hai who have been nominated for the Nobel Prize.

It's like being extremely emotional.

Peking, Great Hall.

Tiening, chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, was standing in the center of the auditorium, reporting impassionedly to the leaders in the room:

"In 1913, Peking University lecturer Gu Hongming was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature for the first time." Tiening, who had gray hair on his temples, burst into tears as he recounted the development history of Chinese literature in the past century. "Mr. Gu Hongming was keen on promoting Eastern culture and culture to Westerners. spirit, and had a profound impact on the history of Western literature. There was once a saying in the Western literary world: You can’t go to China without seeing the Three Great Halls, but you must see Gu Hongming.”

"Even though Mr. Gu Hongming has great influence in the West, in the selection for the Nobel Prize in Literature that year, he ultimately lost to a writer from India by three votes, who later became the Rabindranath Tagore, whose reputation is resounding throughout the world.”

"In 1944, Mr. Lin Yutang was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature for Gu's novel "Small Clouds of Capital". From 1944 to 1975, in the past thirty years, Mr. Lin Yutang was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature at least 4 times, but the final result was neither As expected.”

"In 1968, the most promising Chinese writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature finally appeared. He was the people's artist who had a profound impact on the history of modern Chinese literature - Lao She!"

"This is the last year that the Chinese literary community hopes to win the Nobel Prize for Literature!"

"But unfortunately, People's Artist Lao She died young, and the Nobel Prize for Literature stipulates that it can only be awarded to living writers"

"That year, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the Japanese writer Kawabata Yasunari. This writer later became a Japanese literary giant who influenced the history of world literature."

It’s not that China has never had literary giants, it’s not that there haven’t been top celebrities who can win the Nobel Prize for Literature!

But!

Due to various encounters!

Maybe I was born at the wrong time, or maybe I just couldn’t wait for the right time.

Chinese writers have never won the Nobel Prize for Literature!

During the Republic of China era, when China had the best chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, stars were shining brightly and the entire literary world burst out with an unprecedented brilliance.

At that time, the Chinese literary world, and even Chinese writers, were still qualified to compete for the Nobel Prize!

However, since then.

It’s as if China’s literary movement has been cut off. There has never been a phenomenal writer worthy of being recorded in the history of world literature?

Just then, everyone began to despair.

Just as everyone is beginning to reflect, is the existing Chinese literary system really unsuitable for producing phenomenal works that can influence the world's literary world?

Everyone spent a whole ten years in this confused mood.

When everyone gives up.

When everyone is desperate.

It is in this kind of darkest moment in the Chinese literary world——

Jiang Hai appears!

"After forty-five years, finally, the names of our Chinese writers appear on the list of nominees for the Nobel Prize in Literature"

At this moment, Tiening, the chairman of the Chinese Writers Association who is over fifty years old, had tears in his eyes.

Peiping, inside the Great Hall.

Whether it is a scholar who has interacted with Jiang Hai before, or a scholar who has had disputes with Jiang Hai before.

At this moment, they were all staring at the live broadcast of the Nobel Prize in Literature from the Swedish Academy with extremely pious eyes and excited expressions.

It is certainly true that literati have looked down upon each other since ancient times.

But on such a big issue of right and wrong——

Everyone still agrees!

When away from home, Jiang Hai represents China and the image of Chinese literati!

If Jiang Hai can win this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature as a Chinese writer, given Jiang Hai’s age and his current qualifications

Fifty years from now, the entire Asian literary world, and even the history of world literature——

Everyone will be under the fear of being dominated by Jiang Hai!

This is the pride of our generation of literati!

This is also the pride of Chinese literati!

In another world, the Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded once a year.

Every year, a phenomenal literary writer with the greatest influence and the greatest influence on the literature of their respective region will be selected from the scope of world literature.

In this world, the Nobel Prize for Literature is awarded every four years!

This also means

Originally, four Nobel Prize-winning writers came together to compete for the only prize.

This shows how valuable the Nobel Prize in Literature is in this world!

"We must win!!!"

At this moment, Liu Zhenyun, who had always been calm, could detect the tension in his eyes with the naked eye.

Green comes from blue and is better than blue.

I think at the beginning, Jiang Hai was just a junior, and Jiang Hai’s works still needed his promotion to be known to outsiders, but now, he only relies on the name [Jiang Hai].

This is already a golden sign!

Even though the self-confidence of a literary man has always been as high as the sky, even so, Liu Zhenyun has long known that at his current age, he still has these representative works to his name.

Want to get into the masterpiece?

Want to win the Nobel Prize in Literature?

Four words are enough to describe——

Nowhere in sight!

To be precise, it is simply impossible

If there is an achievement that I cannot achieve, it is to be able to witness the younger generations that I have supported reach the top in my lifetime

This is really a great blessing in the history of Chinese literature!

This is truly a worthy death!

"A horse has a journey of a thousand miles, and it cannot go without a rider." Liu Zhenyun looked at the real-time broadcast of the Nobel Prize in his eyes. There was a bit of excitement in his solemn eyes, and a bit of yearning in his excitement. "People have the ambition to reach the sky." Ambition cannot be achieved without luck!

“Please build a cultural context!”

"Please rebuild a new era for the contemporary literary world!"

Sitting next to Liu Zhenyun, Jia Pingwa, who had some issues with Jiang Hai before, looked at Jiang Hai with an inexplicable look of helplessness and sadness.

"Is this Jiang Hai's true strength?"

Once upon a time, he had always regarded Jiang Hai as a junior.

In his eyes, the so-called well-deserved geniuses of the Chinese youth literary world are just juniors who have some luck and talent in their literary journey. He originally thought that such a junior was nothing to be afraid of, and no matter how he grew up, he would not be able to shake him. own position in contemporary Chinese literary circles.

But who would have thought that the unfashionable junior back then...

Have they all grown into towering trees?

They have already stood on the podium of the Nobel Prize for Literature?

"I originally thought that I was one of the most talented and talented writers in the modern literary world, but now I look at it."

"The so-called genius is just the threshold to the world?"

Looking back at the time when I relied on my elders to act in front of Jiang Hai, I even relied on my own qualifications to play a big role with Jiang Hai.

At this moment, Jia Pingwa, who had always been sophisticated, couldn't help but feel blushing for his behavior:

"Pathetic."

“It’s even more deplorable.”

At this moment, inside the magnificent Great Hall.

Writers, university professors, and literary scholars from all over the world gather here.

At the scene, everyone's eyes began to converge towards the live broadcast screen in the center of the venue, almost like crazy.

Or expect.

Or nervous.

Or excited.

Or sigh.

When I looked at Jiang Hai's young face, he appeared at the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Not only Liu Zhenyun, but many people began to discuss in private almost piously in an extremely nervous mood:

"The great battle of the world!" "Rebuilding the cultural context!"

"Please sir, create a new era for the Chinese literary world"

Swedish Academy.

Nobel Prize Ceremony.

Jiang Hai, who had not appeared in public for a long time, appeared at the Nobel Prize award ceremony wearing a smart black tuxedo.

When Jiang Hai appeared on the scene.

Immediately, many foreign writers present came forward to say hello to Jiang Hai:

"Mr. Jiang Hai, I have long admired your name."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Hai."

"Congratulations, Jiang Hai."

The latest chapter of this book

Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!

The selection committee of the Nobel Prize in Literature usually announces the winner in October every year. The award ceremony is held on December 10 every year, which is the anniversary of Nobel's death, in Stockholm, Sweden, and the King of Sweden personally awards the award.

Even though, before the King of Sweden announces the final winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, no one will know who the final winner of this quadrennial Nobel Prize for Literature will be, and which country’s writer will be so lucky to win this prize? The highest honor in the world of literature

but!

Even if you don’t win the final Nobel Prize for Literature, you just get nominated for this Nobel Prize——

It is also the supreme glory!

This year, a total of twelve writers have been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Among them——

A Chinese writer.

Two Japanese writers.

There are a total of nine writers from Italy, Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The selection is held every four years. Looking at the field of world literature, on average only three writers can be selected for nomination every year. This is the gold content of the Nobel Prize for Literature——

Not too high!

It is no exaggeration to say that the writers who can be included in the list of candidates for the Nobel Prize are well-known figures in their own countries and even in the regions where they come from!

Take the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, for example. Don’t say that he is unique in today’s Japanese literary world, even if you look at the whole of Asia——

There are very few writers who can surpass his achievements in literature!

Another example is the Italian writer Federico, who is also considered by the outside world to be a strong contender for this year’s Nobel Prize winner. He may still be lacking when it comes to the structural ability of long-form literature, but when it comes to short-form literary creation With his ability, he was directly dubbed "the Maupassant of the 21st century" and "the O. Henry of the novel" by readers in Europe and the United States.

These twelve writers have been evaluated by the Swedish Academy and entered into the nomination list for the Nobel Prize in Literature, which is selected every four years——

There are no weaklings!

They are all worthy of being giants in the contemporary literary world!

Even so, Jiang Hai’s achievements in literature are undisputed

but!

Jiang Hai also has a huge shortcoming, and that is him——

Too young!

"If we look at the world literary world in another twenty years, Jiang Hai will definitely occupy the mainstream position in the history of world literature, and he will definitely become the founder and pioneer of a new generation of world literature."

From the moment Jiang Hai walked into the auditorium of Karolinska Institute, many people silently asked Jiang Hai's figure:

"But it's a pity that Jiang Hai is only twenty-five years old now, he is just-"

"Only twenty-five years old!!!"

Looking at the history of world literature, Rabindranath Tagore, whose reputation was resounding throughout Asia, was already eighty years old when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Japanese writer Kawabata Yasunari was already seventy-two years old when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

In history, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature is the famous British poet, essayist, and novelist Joseph Rudyard Kipling. Kipling was also the first British writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but even so, he was already middle-aged when he won the award——

Already forty-two years old!

According to statistics from the Swedish Academy, the average age of Nobel Prize winners in literature is 65.

Among all the elderly writers, a young man like Jiang Hai suddenly found his way into the mix?

This is a bit abrupt

Even at the current Nobel Prize for Literature award ceremony, there are also a lot of old-school writers gathered at the scene. Haruki Murakami, a Japanese writer who also comes from Asia like Jiang Hai, although he does not look old, his real age——

He is already over seventy years old

"I have no doubt about Jiang Hai's achievements in the history of world literature, regardless of nationality. In fact, I am also a fan of Mr. Jiang Hai's books. I also like Mr. Jiang Hai's works very much." I was invited to this Nobel Prize. Japanese writer Akujiro Ogawa, who was observing the award ceremony, was discussing privately with the European writers next to him:

“However, even now, I still think that the writer’s age and experience——”

"It is still an important assessment criterion for Nobel Prize winners in literature"

Under the various discussions of everyone at the scene.

Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, Karolinska Institute Auditorium.

The lights in the splendid auditorium suddenly dimmed.

Holding a scepter, wearing a robe, and wearing a crown, the King of Sweden slowly appeared in the world's sight. He walked slowly onto the awards stage at an unhurried speed.

step.

One more step.

One more step.

Do you want to ask if you are nervous?

There is no doubt that all the twelve writers nominated for the Nobel Prize are nervous.

No matter who it is, for any writer, the Nobel Prize in Literature——

They are absolutely unattainable existences!

If you can win the Nobel Prize for Literature, which is held every four years, you can win the Nobel Prize for Literature from the King of Sweden.

There is no doubt that it will be recorded in history!

The hustle and bustle in the world is all for fame, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit.

As a writer——

Who can resist the temptation of leaving a mark in history?

For Haruki Murakami, at this moment, he is more nervous and difficult than any other nominated writer.

He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times in a row, that is, for 12 consecutive years.

But no surprises.

In every session, he just ran with me.

Watching one writer after another ascend to the throne.

Watching writers one after another win the Nobel Prize in Literature, which symbolizes honor and hope, from their own hands.

Do you want to say that he is not nervous?

This is definitely impossible.

"This is my most promising year." Looking at the crown in the hands of the Swedish king, Haruki Murakami swallowed unconsciously at this moment, "If there is no way to win the Nobel Prize in Literature this year, Do you want to stand on this Nobel Prize winning stage again? ”

"It's true, it's impossible anymore"

That is to say, the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami thought silently in his heart: "This must be my most promising year."

The King of Sweden, holding a scepter, has slowly walked to the Nobel Prize award ceremony.

When the king opened the list of Nobel Prize winners in his hand.

The whole world is quiet.

The scene fell into an atmosphere of silence.

The King of Sweden, wearing a robe, began to read out the list of winners in his hand:

"The winner of the 23rd Nobel Prize in Literature is a writer from China——"

"Jianghai!"

When the name [Jianghai] came out of the mouth of the King of Sweden.

It’s not just Haruki Murakami.

Whether domestic or foreign.

Whether it’s off-site or on-site.

But everyone who heard the news immediately became excited.
