A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 71 I am the Chosen One, and the Only One! (Please Read)
If it was just a simple pre-match mobilization speech, it certainly wouldn't have required such a big fuss.

but if--

Think of this as the opening ceremony of the [Asian University Literature League]!
Then this scene can be said to be not a big deal at all!

Haruki Murakami, a contemporary Japanese writer, graduated from the Department of Drama, Faculty of Literature, Waseda University. So when he learned that his alma mater was about to start a unique literary league with Chinese universities,

He readily agreed to serve as a judge for this literary league!
As for Liu Zhenyun, a well-known mainland writer, he graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University, and was admitted to the Lu Xun Academy of Literature of Beijing Normal University for postgraduate study. As a member of the presidium of the Chinese Writers Association,

Naturally, there was no reason for him to miss such an important exchange opportunity for contemporary youth literature!

The presence of these two famous Chinese and Japanese writers:

Immediately push the atmosphere on the scene to its climax!

Under the gaze of thousands of classmates and the spotlights of dozens of media reporters.

Liu Zhenyun, as the representative of the jury, announced the specific requirements for the entries to the teachers and students present:
“No restrictions on subject matter, no taboos!”

This time, it is a highest-level contest between the literary circles of young universities in China and Japan!
No restrictions on subject matter!
No limits on play!
The works submitted by both parties will be submitted within one month. The works that receive the highest student votes and pass the judgment of the jury of both parties will be:

You will be able to receive honorary awards from the [Asian University Literature League]!

The Tsinghua student delegation, led by Song Shiqing, is eager to try.

The Peking University student delegation, led by Yan Ruyu, is full of confidence.

Below the stage, student representatives from universities across the country all had anticipation in their eyes.

Liu Zhenyun, the representative of the Chinese jury, stood on the left side of the auditorium, and Haruki Murakami, the representative of the Japanese jury, stood on the right side of the auditorium. After the two literary judges greeted each other, they jointly announced:

"The Asian College Literature League has officially begun!"

This time, the Asian University Literature League has gained momentum extremely quickly!

Especially when I learned that Mr. Liu Zhenyun would be the representative of the Chinese jury and would personally review the entries of the students in this Chinese University League.

Countless fanatical student book fans came upon hearing the news!

Although, in Asia, Liu Zhenyun may not be as famous as Haruki Murakami?

However, in the country, especially for students graduating from Chinese majors——

There should be few people who don’t know the name of teacher Liu Zhenyun?
Liu Zhenyun has many honors.
Winner of the 2016th Mao Dun Literature Prize, the 2018 Egyptian Cultural Highest Honor Award, and the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters of the French Republic
When we learned that China will challenge the Japanese youth literary world with Mr. Liu Zhenyun as the representative!

The number of student submissions is increasing in an extremely terrifying way.

Crazy surge!

This time, not only Chinese readers but also Japanese readers will read the book!
Since it is a work that needs to be translated into Japanese and provided to Japanese readers.

Naturally, first of all, the quality of books requires strict control!
These literary works selected for the competition are:

On the one hand, it represents the literary accomplishment and spiritual outlook of Chinese students.
On the other hand, this also represents the face of Chinese students!

If there is no restriction on the quality of the entries, any literary work of any level can be submitted to the [Asian University Literature League] to represent China. If some Chinese works of poor quality are translated into Japanese and given to Japanese readers to read,
Is this the level of literature of you Chinese students?
At this level?

Well, forget about bringing glory to the country, and bring disgrace to the country abroad.
To avoid this from happening,
Under the strong initiative of Mr. Liu Zhenyun——

"We must strictly control the number of entries to ensure that they are of the highest quality."

“The quality of books is more important than the quantity!”

Just the first stage of self-examination and self-selection in China has blocked a large number of people.
Not a good product? No entry allowed!
The quality of the work is not up to standard?
No entry allowed!
The writing style of the work is too naive, and the writing skills are quite immature at first glance?

All of these are not allowed to participate!
It can be seen that Mr. Liu Zhenyun’s standards for reviewing new books for the competition are extremely strict!
Within three days, the domestic judging panel of the Asian University Literature League received more than 45,000 submissions from students from universities across the country.

Among them, only 368 works were selected and qualified to represent Chinese students in the competition!
From more than 40,000 books, only less than 400 books were selected to represent the Chinese youth group in the competition!

It is conceivable-

How difficult is it to pass the manuscript?
It can be said that he is truly one in a million!

You know, these 45,000 students who were selected by their respective universities to submit their works for the competition -

Who isn’t an elite in their respective colleges and universities?
Who is not the pillar of their respective university?

However, even so, even though each university has gone through several rounds of screening, and only then have these 45,000 books been carefully selected from the vast number of submitted works, once these works were submitted to the Chinese jury of the [Asian University Literature League]——

Ninety-nine percent of it was directly blocked?
This astonishing elimination rate,
You can't even say it's an exaggeration -

This can simply be called outrageous!!!

This elimination rate can be called an abnormal one, which immediately caused dissatisfaction among teachers and students in many universities.

Many university professors publicly denounced the Chinese review team headed by Liu Zhenyun:

"Are the criteria used by your jury to select entries too strict?"

“I think we should lower the requirements a bit, after all, those who submit their works are just students.”

Facing the outcry from teachers and students from various universities, the Chinese writers jury headed by Liu Zhenyun immediately responded with a firm attitude:

“Audit standards cannot be changed!”

“The requirements for participating in the competition must be strict!”

"I, Liu Zhenyun, will be responsible for all consequences and impacts caused by the works eliminated by the jury!"

After three days and three nights,

After the tireless efforts of hundreds of judges,
Finally, from tens of thousands of submitted books, 368 excellent books were selected and passed the final review!
Once the final list is determined and announced to the media reporters——

Immediately, it caused a sensation across the country.

in class.

now--

The whole place was silent!

Jiang Hai sat by the window in the classroom, holding a letter from the organizing committee of the Asian University Literature League:

[Dear student Jiang Hai, congratulations on your original work "No Longer Human" being judged by the jury. It will be sent overseas as a representative work of Chinese students to communicate with overseas student representatives.]

In his hand, he held the acceptance letter sent by the organizing committee.

I felt the extremely shocked and questioning looks from my classmates around me.

Jiang Hai sighed helplessly:
“I am just participating, not winning.”

"You don't have to look at me with such strange eyes."
