The day after the award was awarded, what Lin Chaoyang said in his speech and interview was published in the newspapers. It immediately aroused huge attention in the literary world and received overwhelming praise.

Although Lin Chaoyang did not name anyone from beginning to end, everyone knew who he was referring to when he said these words.

And the old man, faced with this situation, could only be mute and talk about Coptis chinensis, unable to express his sufferings.

After all, he won the award, and if he really started to argue with each other in front of him, he would be even more humiliated.

After weighing the situation, the other party could only remain silent.

Two days later, the Xunweizhai Cultural Salon opened in Xiaoliubukou Alley for the first time in a long time.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, literary awards across the country were gradually experiencing problems, and the Literary and Art Association held a special meeting to study the reform of literary awards.

The result was that the existing individual literary awards were merged into the Lu Xun Literature Award.

The Literary and Art Association’s intentions were good. After this meeting, awards such as the National Outstanding Short Story Award and the Novella Award were indeed suspended. However, due to the sudden adjustment of the leadership of the Literary and Art Association, the establishment of the Lu Xun Literature Award was shelved.

Since then, the number of Xunweizhai Cultural Salons has decreased. Fortunately, there are still Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award and Mao Dun Literary Award.

Before this year's Mao Dun Literature Prize Award Ceremony, Li Tuo approached Lin Chaoyang and asked him to invite guests back this year no matter what.

In the literary world of Yanjing, there are awards but no Xunweizhai banquet, which always makes people feel that something is missing.

It was a rare occasion that the salon reopened, and the first day was still filled with exchanges between writers and literature lovers, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

When we invited guests to dinner the next day, not many writers came, only six including Lin Chaoyang himself.

There are very few winning writers for the Mao Dun Literary Award, but this year there are eight groups of winning writers, which is unprecedented.

Except for Xu Xingye, the deceased author of "Jin Ou Que", the other two generals who won the award must have disdained to participate in such activities.

The reason why there are six people is because the award-winning work "Urban Romance" was co-authored by two people.

There were fewer people, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

Five award-winning works and six award-winning writers are all young and middle-aged writers born in the 1940s and 1950s.

Among them, Sun Li and Yu Xiaohui, who co-authored "Urban Romance", and Lu Yao, who co-authored "The Ordinary World" were both born in 1949. Therefore, others jokingly called the three "Jiangangists".

Everyone started chatting, and the topic gradually radiated from literature and creation. Someone asked how everyone wanted to spend the bonus.

Prices have skyrocketed in the past two years, and social per capita income and wages have also increased a lot, but the 5,000 yuan bonus of the Mao Dun Literature Prize is still not a small sum for everyone.

Everyone's answers varied. Some said they wanted to buy a motorcycle, while others said they wanted to save money and earn interest. Anyway, they were all related to life.

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said nothing, and no one asked him any questions. They all knew that he was not short of money.
