"This" Silent Love "combines the fireworks and vicissitudes of life, fresh and innocent, and has a vivid understanding and grasp of the essence of Chinese. As a blind man, although the world is vague to Zhou Yunpeng, he is galloping and walking without borders. " ? -Zhou Yunpeng's acceptance speech
"His poetry creation has reached a high literary purity. What is more commendable is that he restored some functions of poetry as music.

The jury believes that the award of this award-winning work fully reflects the diversity of China's current literary creation.
Multiple awards
Fang Fang, Hai Fei and Luo Yijun all won awards.
According to the official website of the Chinese Writers Association, this award was voted by secret ballot.

The judges praised
Zhou Yunpeng won the "deserved" award.
What is particularly striking is that this year's poetry prize winner is Zhou Yunpeng, a folk singer and poet. Zhou Yunpeng won this year's People's Literature Award for his poem Love Without Words, which he wrote during his lovelorn period. At the award ceremony that day, Zhou Yunpeng held a guitar and played the winning works. The jury commented on Zhou Yunpeng: "As a blind man, the world is vague to Zhou Yunpeng, but he is galloping and walking without borders. The poet's inner world, which is far away and close at hand, is generous and tolerant, and deserves our sincere respect. "
Hong Liang, a scholar and writer, one of the judges of the award, said in an interview with Huaxi Daily yesterday, "After reading these award-winning works this year, what I feel most is that the overall quality of the works is very surprising. Whether it is novels, essays, or poetry award-winning works, they have expanded the boundary of the concept of' main melody'. In short, this award shows an open attitude towards literary diversity. "
She also pointed out in particular that "it is very appropriate that Zhou Yunpeng's works won the poetry prize. I haven't heard Zhou Yunpeng sing, but his lyrics left a deep impression on me. His poetic language is very simple, without deliberate skills, and at the same time full of the power of life, which is quite touching. "
The organizer said
The winning writers each received 1 10,000 yuan.
Qiu Huadong, assistant editor-in-chief and editorial director of People's Literature magazine, said in an interview with Huaxi Dushi Bao yesterday that "the view that mainstream literary publications are too serious is actually a misunderstanding. In fact, with the continuous progress of society and the gradual renewal of ideas, the old traditional literature magazines including People's Literature are also making some necessary adjustments. Related literature types will gradually become more open and diversified. For example, in the column "New 12", the writers are so-called minority writers who are usually ignored. Therefore, the criteria for judging the People's Literature Award will definitely not be whether the writer is mainstream or non-mainstream, but whether the work itself is good or not. "
Referring to this year's bonus amount, Qiu Huadong said: "I don't know exactly how much it is, it is about 6,543,800 yuan per person." Regarding Zhou Yunpeng's award, Qiu Huadong also said, "We have been paying attention to Zhou Yunpeng's literary creation. His poetry creation has reached a high literary purity. What is more commendable is that he is a bard who restored some functions of poetry with music. " This group of manuscripts was written by Jia Sen, a reporter from Huaxi Daily.
Winning this award, I believe more ordinary young people will like Zhou Yunpeng, who is often loved by young artists.
Dialogue author
Zhou Yunpeng: Writing is a record of singing life.
At the award ceremony, after Li Jingze, editor-in-chief of People's Literature, personally presented the award to Zhou Yunpeng, Zhou Yunpeng also sang his award-winning poem "Silent Love". After winning the prize, Huaxi Daily reporter interviewed Zhou Yunpeng by telephone. Zhou Yunpeng on the other end of the phone is very happy that his work has been affirmed.
Talking about winning prizes
Folk poets are happy to be noticed.
Huaxi Daily: The award-winning work "Silent Love" What kind of poem is this?
Zhou Yunpeng: I wrote this poem in 2003. At that time, I had just been lovelorn for more than a year and traveled around Beijing, so I wrote this poem to settle my feelings. However, although it was written because of love, it did contain something about love, but this poem also showed my whole life at that time. Later, I set this poem to music, recorded it as a song, and included it in my music album "Cattle and sheep going down the mountain".
Huaxi Daily: The People's Literature Award is a traditional literary award. What do you feel most about winning this weighty award?
Zhou Yunpeng: What a surprise. As we all know, the People's Literature Award is a very mainstream award. I can get this award, which shows that traditional literature has begun to pay attention to folk poets like me. At the same time, I am also very happy to feel that the boundary between non-mainstream and mainstream that I thought before is actually not static. Personally, I always think that as long as a good work can be recognized by readers, it doesn't matter whether the displayed platform is mainstream or not. In fact, with the increase of folk performances in the past two years, I feel that my minority group is slowly expanding and being understood by more people.
Talk about plans
Next, I intend to write a novel.
Huaxi Daily: Besides singing, your works are also loved by many people. This time, it was recognized by traditional literature awards. What is the relationship between singing and writing to you? What are your plans for writing in the future?
Zhou Yunpeng: Writing and singing are two equally important lines in my life. And my singing and writing complement each other, because I often perform outside, go to many places, write and even record my life as a singer. I write five or six columns a month now, and I will publish a book at the end of the year soon. In addition, I plan to shorten the performance time this winter and concentrate on trying to write a novel.
Huaxi Daily: Now everyone says that poetry has been marginalized. You combine folk songs with poetry. What do you think are the advantages?
Zhou Yunpeng: Actually, there has always been a deep relationship between poetry and songs. Singing poetry can also give poetry another channel of communication.

Silent love
□ Zhou Yunpeng
Are you tired of embroidery? Cattle and sheep are also going down the mountain. We burn our houses and bodies to make a fire and untie your red belt. Sprinkle a bed of snowflakes All the water in the world is swaying in your eyes. No window is open. Nobody's on the road. Only our wooden bed is singing a song and singing happiness. It's gone. My dearest sister, my dearest sister, my poorest queen, the Chinese cabbage next to my house is coming to an end and the fruit is ripe. We harvested each other for the last time. Since then, hatred is as deep as the sea. You go to your future, we can only wander in each other's dreams, in your future, in my future, in the fire, in the water, in the soup, waiting for better people to come, waiting for better people to come, waiting for our souls to come back again.
