Nobel Prize in Literature has always been an unforgettable knot in the hearts of China literary circles and China literati. Not long ago, after the news that Li Ao was nominated by Nobel Prize in Literature was hyped, it was recently reported that Mr. Ba Jin was nominated by Nobel Prize in Literature. After the reporter confirmed with a grain of salt, he also heard various reactions from all walks of life, such as "whether Nobel Prize in Literature deserves to be regarded as a god by China literati", "whether China literati must embark on the road of Nobel Prize" and "how far is Nobel Prize in Literature's nomination from winning the prize". Whether it is admitted or not, the Nobel Prize has left lingering regrets and expectations in the hearts of China literati and even Chinese people.
"Eager for the Nobel Prize is actually eager for recognition."
The first place for reporters to verify is the Institute of Foreign Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences. In an interview, researcher Lu Jiandao heard about this matter, and his reaction was very dull: "This matter is not unusual at all, and nomination is a very simple matter." Lu Rendao told reporters that every year, the Institute will receive a menu from the Nobel Prize in Literature Committee with the signature of the Committee director printed on it, so that everyone can recommend candidates. The identity of the referee is not restricted. Lu Jiandao further explained that this nomination is not the same as the Oscar nomination, and it is relatively easy to be nominated. More importantly, this is a matter of being shortlisted for the final competition after repeated screening, but once it is shortlisted, it will no longer be made public. Lu Jiandao told reporters that the menus in the institute are rarely sent back, and everyone is not interested. Lu Jiandao is also one of many researchers who don't fill in the menu. "The literary prize is different from other scientific awards. It has no quantitative standard, and is more influenced by personal likes and dislikes and political factors. Of course, we will also consider the content moderately. The positive and idealistic style seems to have won the favor of the judges. "
As far as Nobel Prize in Literature is concerned, Lu's understanding is more calm and indifferent than the passionate Nobel complex. "Not all foreign writers worship Nobel Prize in Literature, and this award seems to be more important for booksellers and publishers. In addition, the high prize money of the Nobel Prize is also attractive to writers who get paid for their works. But looking back at the history of the Nobel Prize, many people who should have won the prize did not get it, which is enough to show that the Nobel Prize is not an authoritative standard. " Lu Jiandao often interjects: "Am I talking too much?" Once we moved on to the next topic, Lu resumed his quick and slightly excited speech speed: "China people's desire for the Nobel Prize is actually more of an inferiority complex, and they need to be recognized by others. In fact, there is no need for China people to get too excited. This is rude and should be shared. " "In addition, the selection of the Nobel Prize is strongly regional and biased, including both translation obstacles and political orientation bias."
When it comes to the nomination of Ba Jin, Lu Rendao thinks that "Mr. Ba Jin's works are slightly weaker than Nobel Prize in Literature's other works, and the complex description of human nature is not deep enough. Perhaps young people will prefer his sentimental style. In my opinion, this nomination is more to pay tribute to Mr. Ba Jin, who is 90 years old. " As for whether he can win the prize, Lu said: "Every work is not comparable, and this kind of appraisal is accidental. Winning the prize doesn't mean that he is the best contemporary writer. In fact, there are many excellent writers in China, and there are more than one writer who has the strength to win the prize. "
"This is a kind gesture of Chinese American literati."
It is reported that Zhao Benfu, vice chairman of Jiangsu Writers Association, was the first person in China to know about it. After many twists and turns, the reporter interviewed Zhao Benfu. Although reluctant, Zhao's answer gave the reporter a clear answer.
On April 24th, Zhao Benfu received a letter from Wang Hailong, Chairman of the Writers Nomination Committee of China, Nobel Prize in Literature, in which he said that Ba Lao was "the most outstanding writer and thinker in contemporary China", "the literary creation of half a century has laid an excellent foundation for world-renowned prestige and international cultural circles" and "your persistent discussion and sacred understanding of human nature and human dignity has been recorded in the history books of contemporary China culture and human culture".
Although Zhao Benfu was surprised by this, he conveyed the invitation to the press and Mr. Ba Jin according to the entrustment in the letter. Zhao Benfu told reporters that the Nobel Prize in Literature China Writers Nomination Committee was established in new york, which was established in June 5438+this year 10. It has contacted the Royal Swedish Academy and received the receipt. Ba Jin was the first person nominated by the committee. Zhao Benfu told reporters that Wang Hailong, one of the chairmen of the committee, is an anthropology teacher at Columbia University, and he has written to Columbia University for many years.
When Zhao Benfu talked about this matter, he was a little reluctant but talkative: "This nomination should be a goodwill act of Chinese American writers. In China, people may not want to talk about it themselves. From their point of view, there are many outstanding writers worthy of nomination in modern and contemporary China. It would be a pity if they didn't. "
However, Zhao Benfu also believes: "China writers can't write for awards, and there is no need to care too much about winning or not, and China writers don't need to take an award too seriously." Ye Zhao said: "If you can win the prize, it will be a good thing. For China, it is not normal that there are no China people on the list of Nobel Prize in Literature winners. We have a thorough understanding of foreign literary writers, but foreign countries are very ignorant or even ignorant of China's literature and writers. "
For the differences in understanding between the two sides, Zhao Benfu thinks that the reasons are very complicated, the most important of which are western prejudice and obstacles in translation. The West still holds the original deep-rooted concept of China, and China's good works could not be accurately translated in the past. Zhao Benfu even thinks that China literature is difficult to translate, and the charm of hieroglyphics lies in itself. Regarding Ba Jin's nomination, he thinks that Ba Jin deserves such honor for his position and contribution in the history of literature, but as for whether he can win the prize, Zhao thinks it depends on Ba Lao's willingness and the opinions of the judges.
In the interview, Zhao Benfu repeatedly stressed that he only conveyed a message and didn't want to make too many comments. He has told the Chinese Writers Association about it, and in his words, "My task has been completed." According to him, Wang Hailong has been informed that this matter has been made public in the United States and expressed satisfaction with its response. However, just a few days after the news of Ba Jin's nomination came out, Mr. Ba Jin's daughter Li Xiaolin flatly stated that even if Ba Jin was nominated, he would never attend. Li Xiaolin pointed out: "Ba Lao has long said that he has won any prize for writing for the people of China.
