7th Annual One-Way Street Bookstore Literary Awards Travel Writing of the Year
This is the most suitable spring day for travel, but this year, many people are destined to miss it. The epidemic is still affecting our lives. One of them is the almost instinctive desire to travel. I don’t know when I can say goodbye to the life here and now, go to the distance of my dreams, and rebuild my sensibility.
This year, we will continue to set up the annual travel writing award. In addition to continuing to bring the physical experience of daily life to the Chinese readers under siege, we also face this problem: how to rebuild the crumbling spiritual life in today’s information ruins ?
We see possibilities in travel writers: take risks with pure curiosity, resist temptation and laziness; test knowledge with action, and fight preconceived and rigid thinking; explore different laws of civilization and learn a broad love . In days of restricted movement, their writing guarded the dying flames.
The 7th One-way Street Bookstore Literary Award annual travel writing shortlist was announced today. Nominated by 100 independent bookstores and decided by the organizing committee. We will announce the final winners at the 7th One-Way Street Bookstore Literary Awards on April 23rd at 19:00.
We also sincerely invite every reader to join the attempt of travel writing, click on the interaction at the end of the article, and share your story about travel and travel writing with us.
Yang Xiao
“Retravel: Finding Southwest Associated University on Highways, Rivers, and Post Roads”
In 2018, Yang Xiao packed his bags and traveled from Changsha to Kunming, retracing the walking route of the teachers and students of the Southwest Union during the Anti-Japanese War in 1938, exploring the life, freedom and heroism of a generation of intellectuals. In the age of the Internet, where there is a lot of noise and mud and sand, he uses his practical actions and excellent text ability to show that it is still possible to refuse feeding, refusing discipline, free writing, and independent exploration. The past to respond to today’s proposition of the times – how a generation faces new turbulent times.
Ouyang Ting
“There’s a Tree in the North: Following Nature’s Four Seasons”
Although the title of the book is “There is a Tree in the North”, Ouyang Ting’s writing is not only about a tree. Through years of observation and reading, she repeatedly writes about everyday landscapes that cannot be stopped by external forces. A round of four seasons is slowly laid out in the book, and the steady and fine brushstrokes call for us to regain our attention to nature. As we begin to feel disillusioned with civilization and rules, A Tree in the North reminds us that nature may offer a path to relaxation and peace.
Lu Xiaoyu
“Dream of Lima: Xiaoyu’s Notes on Latin America”
Young scholar Xiaoyu occasionally has the opportunity to travel to Lima, Peru, to join the presidential candidate’s campaign team and explore the possibility of politics. When the “world” is far away from us, he personally walks into the Latin American political scene, approaching the daily life of a foreign country, leaving behind the troubles in the study, turning around to participate in realistic decision-making, and reflecting on our increasingly rigid thinking. “Don’t talk about it if you don’t understand it.” Through this walk and his real records, readers can also rethink their relationship with the world, knowledge and action.
Liu Tuo
“Afghanistan’s Journey to the Ancients”
Liu Tuo loved cultural relics, historic sites and travel during his lifetime. He set foot in Afghanistan twice, where the Eastern and Western civilizations converged, and in the complex situation, he left a unique archive for the Chinese-speaking world. His walking and writing allow readers to see the most complex and fragile corner of the world, experience the struggles of the local people in modern life, and leave objective and detailed words and pictures on the cultural relics caught in the flames of war and in jeopardy. Young people who are loyal to their ideals and have the courage to explore are increasingly rare today. We regret his passing.

This year’s Travel Writing Awards are sponsored by Special Support Partner Anaya .
The word aranya comes from the Sanskrit word Aranruo, which means “a place of silence on earth, a place to find one’s self.”
Anaya is not only a tourism and vacation brand, but also a lifestyle brand with profound emotional value and high spiritual value. It is hoped that by creating a pioneering community facing the future, it will comprehensively care for the residents’ clothing, food, housing, transportation, emotional relationships, and spiritual world, and then explore how a beautiful life for Chinese people is possible. And in the process, seek more wisdom, more self-realization, and more love.

After “Spirit of Conversation” and “Thought and Action”, the One-Way Street Bookstore Literary Award is in its seventh year. This time, we still sent out nomination invitations to 100 independent bookstores across the country, hoping that through joint creation, we can not only rely on rationality to stand out from the encirclement, but also use emotion to summon new connections.
The world has not yet fully opened up, and the flow of information and prejudice is accelerating. We will examine the practices and efforts of the Chinese cultural community in the past year, and continue to ask: what happened in the distance and the nearby? How can intimacy and community be reborn in the face of multiple estrangements?
