This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening up.
From April 9 to 12, a special planning activity named "Dialogue Literature, Love for Pudong" was held on the cloud. Sun Ganlu, a writer and vice chairman of Shanghai Writers Association, Hong Xue, a platinum writer of Reading Group, Teng Xiaolan, a writer and deputy secretary-general of Shanghai Writers Association, and the author of the serial novel "Pujiangdong" from the starting point and the special prize work "Shanghai Prosperity" of the third realistic online literature essay contest shared their stories with readers online.
Pudong is no longer a "cultural desert"
In Sun Ganlu’s view, the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening-up is not only a microcosm and a symbol of China’s reform and opening-up, but also redefines Shanghai as a city with tradition, history and a sense of the future.

"You will know at a glance in Pudong that its changes are very great. Of course, this change is not only in infrastructure construction, not only in finance and commerce, but also in the spiritual life of China society and ordinary people brought by Pudong’s development and opening up. "
He took the cultural construction in Pudong as an example. Once upon a time, Pudong was dubbed the "cultural desert", and now the construction of the Riverside Cultural Belt is advancing. There will be the Shanghai Museum East Hall, the Shanghai Library East Hall, the Shanghai Grand Opera House, the Pudong Art Museum and the Pudong Group Art Museum, where citizens can enjoy literature, painting and performing arts.
"In recent years, Pudong has also gathered a large number of talents in the art world. In my impression, Pudong is mostly talented people in the financial and scientific fields, but now many literary artists have settled here, and many outstanding writers, poets, painters, calligraphers and photographers have emerged in Pudong. I think this also came into being. At such a moment, Pudong has such a foundation to bring these important literary and artistic talents together and unite. "
As a writer, Sun Ganlu thinks that literary creation is something that needs long-term accumulation and serious treatment. A good literary work is like a tall building in Pudong. It needs a lot of fine work from planning and design to construction and maintenance.
"Literary and artistic creation also takes time. I think writers and artists need to grow up with the city in order to write really good works that can reflect life. "
The writers here wrote down the works here.
Born, raised and worked in Pudong, Teng Xiaolan is a typical local writer in Pudong. Her first novel, Moonlight in the City, was completed in 2008. The protagonist is a young couple in Shanghai. They stumbled and quarreled all the way, and their growth was also integrated into the growth of Pudong.
"The changes in Pudong are changing with each passing day. It is brand new and has great potential. " In the later "A City within a City", Teng Xiaolan also wrote about the financial life in Pudong. In order to finish her work better, she visited major financial institutions before writing, stayed in these institutions, went in and out with financial people, watched how they went to work and listened to how they chatted, thus truly deepening the "financial life" of Pudong.

Teng Xiaolan said with a smile, often at the beginning of his creation, he didn’t think of where to write, but in the end he always fell to Pudong unconsciously. "It is often written that those place names and landmark buildings in Pudong come out. For an author, it is so familiar to be in it, so it sometimes becomes a habit. "
Unlike Teng Xiaolan, the earth windmill is a "Shanghai drift". It has been 14 years since he came to Shanghai in 2006.
"For so many years, I have seen and heard too much, and I have experienced too much personally. I have an impulse to describe the development and changes of Shanghai in detail and write this era with a pen. This is an impulse or a responsibility that every writer should have. "
In 2019, "Prosperity of Shanghai" by the Land Windmill won the special prize of the third realistic online literature essay contest. This work depicts the economic and social life of a certain field in Shanghai from 2005 to 2015 in detail through the 10-year struggle of a migrant farmer’s children. In fact, it was also written by the windmill on its own prototype, and many of the details were personally experienced in Shanghai. "The protagonist of the story is Wang Yiyuan, because when I was in Shanghai, I really had only one dollar in my clothes. I hope these experiences can inspire readers. "
The windmill said, "Why should we commemorate the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening up? From my personal understanding, commemorating it is to better sum up experience in the future and dig out something more worthy of carrying forward. Making the future better is the greatest significance. "

Like the development of Pudong, online literature is also developing.
Blood red came to Pudong in 2003 and began to settle in Pudong in 2004. He recalled: "At that time, there was no reading group that we are familiar with now, only qidian, which had just started. At that time, the online literature was like the grassland next to the second house I rented in Pudong. "

He still remembers that once he and other authors and editors went to an Internet cafe to play games online. He opened qidian’s page, and when he clicked on the user name input box, he found a list of user accounts pulled down there.
"It can be seen that many readers have logged in the starting point on that computer, and it is also obvious that it was not easy for them to read our books at that time. At that time, home computers and broadband were not popular, so they had to go to public internet cafes if they wanted to watch them. At that time, it was really the time when online literature started. "
For the authors at that time, it was a great honor to be able to publish a set of physical paper novels. The total subscription of readers on the website accounts for more than 90% of the author’s income. Nowadays, with the development of IP, novels can bring games, movies, cartoons and other peripheral outputs, and online writers are more diversified in terms of income and evaluation mechanism.
"This is our gospel, but it also means that our creation must be better." Blood red said, "In the early days, you can use a simple story mode to fight monsters and upgrade all the way, and have grievances and passions. But now you have to ponder the details of the characters, the details of the story, and the details of the world background. Your whole book should also have humanistic feelings. "
"Like the development of Pudong, online literature is developing, and readers of online literature are also growing. My old book friends are tired of reading a lot of things. You must give them new stories, new touching and new strength. "
Launching theme essay, Pudong glory from the perspective of online articles in the same period
