Winners of the Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage 2004
In Berlin on the 2nd of October, 2004, an international jury composed of writers from ten linguistic regions announced the 2004 winner of the Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage.
The annual Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage was established in 2003 initiated by the cultural magazine Lettre International in connection with the Aventis Foundation. The Goethe-Institut is a project partner.
In total, prizes amounting to 100,000 euro, cultural stays in Berlin, and hand-made watches constructed by the Nomos clock manufacturer were awarded. The aim of this first world prize for reportage literature (the only world prize for literature awarded in Berlin) is to draw international attention to the outstanding achievements of reportage literature world wide, and to provide financial, moral and symbolic support to its authors.
The following authors were awarded:
The first prize, worth 50,000 euro, was given to the Chinese authors Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao for their unprecedented and controversial book Survey of Chinese Peasants, (People’s Literature Publication Company, Beijing 2003, Chinese). The explosive text is the first thorough investigation into the economic, social and political conditions of the approximately 900 million Chinese peasants, which are almost unknown in the West. It describes the problems of despotism, of arbitrariness, of corruption, of violence which sometimes extends to murder, and lawlessness, along with unjust taxation, from which a large part of the rural population suffers. The book also shows how China’s enforced industrialisation is built largely upon the impoverishment of the Chinese peasantry. This book, compiled with immense courage despite enormous personal risk, swiftly became a best-seller in China. Several million copies were sold before the book was withdrawn from sale in governmental bookshops following an official directive, and now it is only obtainable in pirate form.
