Come spring and Chinese writers begin harvesting literary crops. This year, it began with the Chuang Chung-wen Literature Awards - with seven writers being bestowed the honor early last month. That is when entries for the Seventh Mao Dun Literature Awards, arguably the most important for contemporary Chinese writers, were closed too. And the Sixth Chinese Language Media Literature Awards will be announced in Guangzhou this weekend.
