Judge: This is the Mao Award in the field of online literature. The three-year "Tianma Literature Award" reveals the mysterious master in Shanghai | Online Literature | Mao Award
"I propose to applaud the outstanding vision of the judges and the grand ceremony of the Tianma Literature Award!" On the afternoon of July 11th, the second Tianma Literature Award held an award ceremony in Jinchao 8th Lane. The online literature writer "Octopus who loves diving", who won the award for "The Mysterious Lord", asked the host "not to say thank you" in front of him. Two witty acceptance speeches made the audience laugh and applaud continuously.
The Tianma Literature Award, specially designed for online literature, is jointly organized by the Shanghai Writers Association and the Propaganda Department of the Hongkou District Committee. It was launched in October 2018 and is held every three years. The award aims to select high-quality works through selection, reflect the current level of online literature, promote the internationalization of online literature and the prosperity of theoretical commentary on online literature, better tell Chinese stories, build Chinese values, promote Chinese spirit, and gather Chinese strength. The recipients of this award are Chinese online literary works published on major literary websites across the country from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, which have already been completed, theoretical commentary works that have been publicly published or published, and Chinese online literary works that have been translated into foreign languages and serialized or published on foreign websites.
The selection work of this year received a response from major literary websites nationwide, and the judging committee received 119 works recommended by 27 literary websites. The review process lasted for 2 months, and a review committee consisting of 19 nationally renowned online literature experts was established. After initial and final evaluations, five works, including "Changle Li: Prosperous Times as I Wish" by Xiaoqi School, "The Mysterious Lord" by the Diving Octopus, "Ling Ran by the Great Doctor" by Zhiniao Village, "Beidou Xingchen" by bandit Jia, and "Starting from the Red Moon" by Heishan Old Ghost, stood out.
Bai Ye, a researcher at the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and honorary chairman of the China Contemporary Literature Research Association, who participated in two rounds of evaluation, said that the "Tianma Literature Award" further selects outstanding works from excellent online literature, emphasizes quality, and emphasizes the combination of artistic and ideological aspects on the basis of readability. "The five works selected in three years are quite representative, and it can be said that the" Tianma Literature Award "has the atmosphere of being on the list and the style of being awarded. It can also be said that the" Tianma Literature Award "is the Mao Dun Literature Award in the online literature industry."
In Bai Ye's view, the five award-winning works can be roughly divided into two categories: realistic and fictional themes, all of which have characteristics that are difficult to summarize in one type, reflecting the current trend of integrated development in online literature. "For example, it is difficult to categorize the themes of" Changle Li "from Xiaoqi School. It has both realistic factors and transcends the past, connecting Changle Li from the early 20th century and the contemporary Lujiazui. In a special way, it reveals the fundamental changes in historical evolution and the fate of ordinary people, making breakthroughs in the sequence of realistic themes in online literature." Da Yi Ling Ran "always holds a confidence and belief while writing about medical skills, which is fascinating and thought-provoking, and is one of the best in its kind of themes." The Big Dipper Star "not only depicts the development of the Beidou system itself, but also the growth of its developers, contributors, and fighters." "The Mysterious Lord" has special significance. It can be classified as a fantasy novel, but unlike common fantasy novels, it has elements of Western fantasy, both Chinese and Western, and has the possibility of aligning with the international community and engaging in dialogue. It has the potential to "go out". "Starting from the Red Moon" combines fantasy and science fiction, with unique imagination and strong practical significance. It can be said that the transcendence of online literature poses new challenges to literary criticism and theoretical criticism. "

Wang Wei, Secretary of the Party Group of the Shanghai Writers Association, said that when the "Tianma Literature Award" was first launched five years ago, a high benchmark was set for this award. The original intention was to make the selection of this award an important window reflecting the level of online literature creation, reflecting the trajectory and brilliance of high-quality development of Chinese online literature. "We look forward to more excellent works of online literature, relying on the strong wings of Tianma, flying in the wilderness and sky."

Judge's comment: "The Great Doctor Ling Ran" tells the growth story of a medical worker with ideals. The work combines the narrative methods of medical dramas with the structure of anime stories, showcasing the greatness of a pure doctor. In addition to being close to reality and thought-provoking, the charm of this hardcore medical article lies in pushing the "coolness" of "systematic literature" novels to new heights, driving and igniting a wave of medical reality themed creation.

The novel focuses on the interaction between key technological breakthroughs, character growth, industry development, and the trend of the times, showcasing the spirit of the Beidou people who have worked tirelessly to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and pursue the Chinese Dream.

Judge's comment: "Starting from the Red Moon" is a novel based on science fiction to explore human spiritual dilemmas. The opposition between rationality and madness, as well as between human nature and divinity, flows through the plot in an undercurrent. The author innovates the "post apocalyptic" style to showcase the eerie world after the arrival of the "red moon". This work has both the color of Eastern fantasy novels and the connotation of Western medieval style novels, and is a subversive "psychological science fiction" work that subverts tradition.
