Interesting article. One wonders where Chinese avant-garde literature--literature that's not commercially viable but also not to the taste of the Mao Dun prize committee--is published these days. It's also interesting to learn that the Mao Dun prize is a post 改革开放 (reform and opening) award. I had just assumed it had existed since the Mao era.

Yeah that was the most interesting part of the article to me, that this award is keeping alive a certain kind of literary fiction that might otherwise die out
