Lu Xun once talked about the Nobel Prize in literature : If the yellow-skinned people are given special treatment and lenient treatment, it will increase the vanity of the Chinese people, thinking that they can really be compared with other great writers. Will be very bad
is very surprised that the movie "Hidden in the Dust" caused such a big social controversy. It should be said that
actually reflects people's long-standing doubts about the selection criteria of the United States and the West for our literary and art field.
Please note that I did not use "international society". Because, in my opinion, the so-called international awards essentially refer to the evaluation of our literary and artistic works by the United States.
returns to the topic, the nature of social controversy caused by hiding in the dust is the same as the controversy caused by Red Sorghum , Live, Qiu Ju's lawsuit, Lion Boy, and Mo Yan . To put it bluntly,
actually reflects a complex psychology behind it.
That is how to face the evaluation of our literary and artistic works from the United States and the West.
should be regarded as Guiquan? Or should we be vigilant?
I won't go into too much discussion here. Just simply express your opinion.
From a rural perspective,
is a member of the Poverty Alleviation Office. It can be said that I have a little understanding of the countryside. First of all, our rural areas are extremely diverse, and the regional development conditions vary greatly.
Many people may never know how many towns and villages there are in their county, let alone other places.
But people who often take high-speed rail and trains can clearly perceive the great changes in the rural landscape in the past ten years.

It can be said that in the past ten years, the rural areas have become very big. Especially in the years when poverty was lifted, the backwardness of countless villages has been improved. Countless poor households were included in the subsistence allowances. This has benefited them a lot. However, how to achieve sustainable development is still a difficult problem to solve.
Although I have never lived in the countryside where the Great Northwest is located, I do not deny that this is a high-level work of art that draws on the real marginal characters and the real environment.
I don't want to look back too much on the suffering of the past, but rather to show a better future.
was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, and it is rumored that it may win the grand prize
It is not so much that we won the "international" award for showing the backward rural appearance, but we hope that we can win the favor of the international judges with the works showing the rural appearance of the new era.
But it's hard. Because things are rare. The overall level of rural areas in the United States is indeed much higher than ours, and they are more interested in showing works from backward rural areas. This is not only the curiosity , but also the subconscious guidance of the preconceived stereotype .
How should we think about it: The International Awards
It's time to advocate a rational view of the International Awards.
Lu Xun once talked about the Nobel Prize for Literature: If treats people with yellow skin and gives them extra lenient treatment, it will actually boost the vanity of the Chinese people, thinking that they can really compare with other great writers, and the result will be very bad.
I think, no matter whether his remarks make sense or not, it cannot be denied that it is very enlightening. The real cultural confidence of
is to see the world from our cultural perspective, and to integrate Chinese and Western, but the premise is that I am the main one.
I think, in terms of personal observation, in reality, people tend to regard the evaluation of our literary and artistic works by the United States and the West as Guiquan.
can really give too many examples in this regard.
Not long ago, the squinting in "The Lion Boy" caused a heated discussion in the whole society. People have clearly seen that today, Meixi still has prejudice and stereotypes against us.
This is to be expected. For example, although Mo Yan is a world-class writer, we have to objectively admit that Mo Yan is very famous in our country, but not necessarily internationally. In a previous article, I wrote: Mo Yan's works have been sold in the United States for ten years, but unfortunately only 10,000 copies have been sold.
What does this mean?
shows that Mo Yan's works have never entered the life and literature of most ordinary people in the United States and West.in demand.
In fact, such examples abound. In my opinion, as long as the films, poems, novels, etc. have won awards in the so-called "international", it is basically certain that they must have a good reputation in the "international" circle, and ordinary consumers outside the circle are extremely cold.
is just like the international students who studied abroad in the early years. People are used to looking up to them. Or think of them as advanced with some kind of aura. The same is true of these works of art. Winning awards abroad is often praised at home.
But in recent years, with the growth of national strength, increased understanding of the international community, and the emancipation of minds formed since the epidemic, our awards for the United States and the West have shown a more polarized trend.
Berlin Film Festival, "Fiction Filmmaker" won the award
Many people are not impressed by the various awards hosted by the United States and West. It is believed that most of the winning works selected by them are only subjectively selected based on their vision, position and taste. There is absolutely no reason to look too high on these winning entries. The fact is that many foreign works are famous in our country, not entirely because of their high standards, but also because of the superb standards of the translators.
Of course, the culture of a region and a nation must have a cultural body. America and West hosted the selection activities, and the judges were almost all Western judges. Naturally, they interpreted our works with their culture as the center. In this case, whether there is prejudice and imprinting is a matter for the benevolent to see benevolence and the wise to see wisdom.
I just want to remind you that literary and artistic works also have the function of cultural output. The good image of the United States is inseparable from the propaganda of American blockbusters.
People often sigh that American heroism seems to be praised internationally, while the Chinese movies " Wolf Warriors " and " Red Sea Operation " are not conducive to our international image.
But I would like to remind that times can change. Those writers and artists who take foreign awards too high do not want to know where their market is. As a result, they are well-known in small circles abroad, and they are honorable on the face, but they are hard to say.
Finally, cite Lu Xun's views on the Nobel Prize in Literature as the end of the essay.
"Nobel bounty, Liang Qichao naturally doesn't deserve it, and I don't deserve it either. It takes effort to get this money. There are many writers better than me in the world, and they can't get it. Look at the book "Little John" I translated ", how can I do it, but the author didn't get it.... I don't think I can say it in the future, as there is really no one in China who can win the Nobel Prize, Sweden It's better to ignore us, who I won't give it either. If you give extra preferential treatment because of the yellow-skinned people, it will actually boost the vanity of the Chinese people, thinking that they can really be compared with the great writers of other countries, and the result will be very bad."
