BEIJING cheap nike air max 2019 wholesale nz , Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- China's prestigious Lu Xun Literature Prize has come under fire after its most recent award winner for poetry was denounced as a "shame on poetry."
Zhou Xiaotian, a poet and professor of the literature and journalism college of Sichuan University, won the prize on Monday for his poem collection "Jiang Jin Cha" or invitation to tea.
Not long after the announcement, Zhou's verses were posted online by Internet users with the charge of being "nothing more than doggerels unworthy of the prize."
Many have criticized the winner for the colloquial style of his poems based on the late singer-actor Leslie Cheung from Hong Kong and another on Nobel prize winner in physics Yang Zhenning.
"The 28-year-old wife and the 82-year-old husband, one for talent and the other for lust," according to a line of his poem on the physist's high-profile marriage at the age of 82 in 2004.
"I've never heard of this poet, but I'm suspicious of the quality of his works submitted to the committee after reading those provided by online users cheap nike air max 2019 nz ," said Fang Fang, a writer based in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
"Are those judges really adept? Did they make judgement on the work's quality or on the candidates' connections?" Fang added, casting doubt upon the professional ethics of the judging panel.
Zhou, however, has refuted the criticisms on his work.
"Doggerels are not necessarily ill-written poems. You can hardly expect people to read serious poems nowadays," Zhou said in an interview with Xinhua.
He defended the fairness of the selection process http://www.cheapairmax2019nz.com/ , saying the whole procedure of voting was transparent based on a real-name system.
Zhou's argument was backed by professionals. Fan Xing, professor with Wuhan University, said it is almost impossible for a poet to ensure every single verse is well-written.
"It's only some of Zhou's poems that have aroused controversy," Fan added, while admitting some lines are unrefined.
The prize named after Lu Xun, one of China's best-known modern authors and essayists, was first awarded in 1986.
Writers of outstanding short- to middle-length novels cheap nike air max 2019 outlet , poems, prose, essays, reportage, literary reviews and theoretical works will receive the award, which is bestowed every three years.
It is not the first time the literature prize has been put in the spotlight.
In 2010, Che Yangao cheap nike air max 2019 free shipping , secretary of the discipline inspection committee in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, was awarded the prize for his collection of poems "Yearning for Warmth," which was criticised for being overly simplistic.
Many of the current elite literature awards have not been well received by the public, not just the Lu Xun Literature Prize, Ding Xiaoyuan, vice president of the Chinese Reportage Association cheap nike air max 2019 sale , said.
"Professional judges should listen to public feedback, rather than sealing up literature in an ivory tower," he warned.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Los Angeles' plans and readiness for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games have been reviewed and confirmed by the International Olympic Committee(IOC) Evaluation Commission, said LA 2028, Los Angeles' Olympic organizing committee, on Monday.
The IOC Evaluation Commission confirmed that the City of Angels is ready to deliver a sustainable cheap nike air max 2019 online , low-risk new Games for a new era, with long-term benefits for LA and the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, wrote LA 2028 in a press release.
The report follows the IOC Evaluation Commission's comprehensive inspection visit to Los Angeles in May. After LA declared its candidacy for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games on July 31, the IOC Evaluation Commission compiled a supplementary analysis following further consultations with LA 2028 bid leaders and subject matter experts, and further written submissions.
The IOC Evaluation Commission reviewed LA 2028's community support, venue masterplan, sports program cheap nike air max 2019 trainers , sport development, transportation, budget and legal guarantees. Their subsequent report noted that LA 2028's Games Concept remains virtually unchanged from the 2024 plan, thanks to the bid's use of Los Angeles' world-class existing sports infrastructure. LA 2028 will still require no new permanent venues to stage the Games.
The new 2028 report concludes: "From the information submitted, the IOC Evaluation Commission considers that the main requirements for Los Angeles to host the Olympic Games 2028 have been met. The Commission equally concludes that the many opportunities presented by an Olympic Games 2028 in Los Angeles would far outweigh any potential risks of awarding the Games 11 years in advance instead of 7 years."
"The report confirms that Los Angeles is ready to host the Olympic Games 2028. Los Angeles of course builds on the strong proposal that was put forward for 2024, while providing all the necessary guarantees to make us confident that the Olympic Games can be awarded 11 years in advance," said IOC Evaluation Commission Chairman Patrick Baumann.
"Our goal has always been to create a Games concept that fits the long-term needs of LA and its people cheap nike air max 2019 china , not change our city to fit the Games," said LA 2028 Chairman Casey Wasserman.
"We can count on higher revenues, increased IOC contributions, and an investment of up to 160 million U.S. dollars to increase youth sports programs in LA in the years leading up to the Games. This IOC Evaluation Commission report underlines what a historic opportunity LA 2028 is for the City of Angels and the Olympic and Paralympic Movements." he added.
The Los Angeles Council voted unanimously on Aug. 11 to approve the contracts
signed by the city government and the IOC to host the Olympic and Paralympic
Games in 2028. It's an important move for Los Angeles to lock the award of being
host of the 2028 Summer Games, which is scheduled to be announced w. Cheap China
