After asking for leave, Lin Chaoyang was fine and relaxed.

In the next few days, many familiar friends came to visit him at his home to congratulate him on winning the award.

On the morning of the 12th, he went to Yanda to give a speech to the students. The venue was still in the dining hall. The students who came to listen to the speech were packed with the dining hall, and the place was crowded.

Thunderous applause erupted from time to time in the venue, and the speech was a great success.

After his speech, he accepted questions from students for more than an hour before ending.

In the evening, Tao Yumo went to his home and described the enthusiastic mood of the YSU students today in a more embellished way.

Tao Yushu recalled the reactions of people around him in the past few days after the winners of the Mao Dun Literature Award were announced, and asked with some confusion:

"Actually, the Mao Dun Literary Award and the National Outstanding Short Story Award are both national literary awards. Except for the length of the works, there is no difference in essence. Why do you feel that your award this time has such a great influence?"

"The celebrity effect! Mr. Mao Dun is so famous. This award was established according to his last wish and named after him. The award itself has great commemorative significance." Lin Chaoyang explained.

There is another reason that Lin Chaoyang did not mention. In later generations, literary awards named after several great figures in the modern and contemporary literary circles have appeared in the domestic literary world, such as the Lao She Literature Award, the Lu Xun Literature Award, and the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award.

But in real terms, the influence and popularity of the Mao Dun Literature Prize is still the first.

The reason is also very simple. The Mao Dun Literary Award is the first in China to name a literary award after an individual, and it has received the greatest public opinion dividend.

If future generations want to imitate it, it will be difficult for them to surpass it.
