2024 Shanghai International Literary Week explores boundaries of stories
（文章来源：China Daily）
The 2024 Shanghai International Literary Week
has kicked off its main forum at the China
Securities Museum in Shanghai's Hongkou district,
delving into the theme of "The Boundaries of
Stories", on Aug 13.
The event commenced with a moving narrative
by Li Jingze, vice chairman of the China Writers
Association, drawing inspiration from his illiterate yet naturally gifted grandmother in storytelling. He
emphasized the importance of honoring all storytellers and those immersed in narratives.
Established in 2011 as a significant part of the annual Shanghai Book Fair, the Shanghai
International Literary Week has now evolved into a crucial platform for cultural exchange and literary
discussions among both Chinese and international writers. Over the years, the event has hosted nearly 300
writers and scholars from across the globe during the book fair, including four Nobel Prize laureates in
literature.
The main forum showcased thematic speeches by a diverse array of international literary figures,
featuring luminaries such as Jose Eduardo Agualusa from Angola, poet Forrest Gander from the United
States, writer Christian Garcin from France, Yevgeny Vodolazkin from Russia, Japanese authors Kaori
Matsu and Shingetsu Tsujimura, Andres Barba from Spain, Attila Bartis from Hungary, comic artist Dan
Nott from the United States, and a lineup of esteemed Chinese writers.
Reflecting on the boundaries inherent in writing, Agualusa, an International Dublin Literary Award
winner, emphasized his endeavors to push the limits in his craft, expanding the boundaries of ignorance
and bridging the gaps between individuals. Gander, the American poet and translator, expressed a
preference for writing that sparks associative thinking, diverging from traditional "narrative realism."
Science writer Liang Guibai stressed that setting boundaries catalyzes continual breakthroughs,
suggesting that in the realm of science, the limits of human cognition represent the ultimate frontier. He
highlighted the pivotal role of science writers in bringing readers closer to the cutting edge of scientific
knowledge.
Barba from Spain, underscored the power of literature in fostering mutual understanding and
perception. Emphasizing the writer's duty not only to narrate stories but also to ensure comprehension,
facilitating genuine communication by aligning language with emotions and contexts.
Mystery novelist Shingetsu Tsujimura explored how boundaries in detective fiction symbolize law,
ethics, and norms. Expressing a desire to transcend the confines of justice in her storytelling, she aims to
prompt reflection on why individuals adhere to certain boundaries and under what circumstances they
might cross the threshold of justice.
In the days ahead, 32 distinguished guests will partake in over 50 events, including "Poetry Night,"
literary dialogues, and signing sessions at various venues across Shanghai. These events will be
livestreamed online, enabling a broader audience of literature enthusiasts and readers to engage with the
literary festivities firsthand.
This year's event also introduces a new city-walk segment, inviting writers and artists from seven
countries to explore Shanghai's cultural and urban landmarks through a literary lens, offering a unique
perspective on the city's charm and allure.
