Zhang Yueran: The writer’s ‘Sing Down’ contains new hope
In the latest issue of the literary magazine Carp, which Zhang Yueran has been insisting on, 24 writers including Mr. Liang Wendao were invited to predict the future of literature. After collecting and sorting out the future predictions of the writers, she found that this was a very negative questionnaire, which was not only negative, but also destructive to literature, and many of them predicted that the Nobel Prize for Literature would disappear. But Zhang Yueran thinks this is not terrible: ‘Writers are always singing bad. In singing bad, it also contains hope, and contains new possibilities they want to see.’

Shuang Xuetao: The current form of literature has become very latent
Speaking of literary works as a common memory, Shuang Xuetao said that compared with the cultural and literary fever of the 1980s, it is increasingly difficult for works to become a common memory for everyone. At the same time, he also mentioned that the current form of literature has become very latent. Many games and movies need the help of literature. The style of literature has become more formative. It has penetrated into various art categories.

Wang Zhanhei: Life and literature are the relationship between awake and asleep
‘The relationship between real life and literary texts can be roughly regarded as the relationship between when you are awake and when you are asleep.’ Wang Zhanhei interpreted it like this, ‘When you are asleep, you will have dreams, and many times you dream. May be accidentally mentioned to others during the day. Maybe that scene will change, the relationship between the characters will change, and of course the dialogue will change accordingly. So it is like a combination of elements, maybe this element is from everyday , Or very long ago, and the life in your mind that may be subconsciously yearning for it, in the dream, you can combine them at will. ‘
Wang Zhanhei’s debut novel, ‘The Empty Cannon’, portrays a world that readers would believe is indeed so real, as if it took everyone to observe or approach the streets of daily life in more detail than usual. In this regard, Wang Zhanhei also has his own thoughts, ‘Many events may not be single. In a world where you don’t know how many things, many things may be repeated and exist in a similar manner. I take my I will be very happy to write about a space I have experienced, seen and I like, and it will allow others to find a corresponding, or even similar, space in which he lives. ‘

Shen Dacheng: I just want to be a good writer
‘A lot of my writings come from my own intuition and aesthetics.’ Shen Dacheng said with a smile that he was a ‘non-academic’ new literary man, without many literary theories to talk about novel creation. ‘I have a writing The basic interest is what I have to write recently. So for myself, it is very important to grasp the limited life to write. It is the most important thing. No matter whether this era is golden or other era, I think To be a writer with merit, as long as it is merited, I’m satisfied. ‘
