A native of Danfeng County, Shaanxi Province, a member of Chinese Writers Association and Shaanxi Writers Association, he is currently engaged in journalism in a newspaper in Shanghai.
1994 started his literary creation, and successively worked for Poetry Magazine, Star Poetry Magazine, Poetry God, Poetry Tide, Poetry Monthly, Along the River, Short Story, Yalu River, Novel Monthly, Selected Novels, Jiangnan, etc.
When I was a student, I printed a collection of poems "Eternity and Instances", published a collection of poems "Wandering Innocence" in 2003, and published a collection of poems "Poetic Shanghai" in 20 10. 20 10 wrote 80 poems for the large-scale photo collection handed down from generation to generation of Shanghai World Expo. Poetry Shanghai has sold more than 4,000 copies, trying to make poetry participate in life and enter the market without losing money. Zhao, Zhao, An Qi and Guo respectively evaluated Chen Cang's poems, believing that Chen Cang's poems have injected new vitality into Shanghai, an economic city, and are a new force in Shanghai's literary creation, especially Poem Shanghai is a guide to urban poetry.
1994 "star" won the second prize in the national poetry contest, 1995 "poetry tide" won the third prize, and in 2007, Liberation Daily and other six departments held the first prize in the poetry contest to welcome the World Expo, the second prize in the prose contest of China Eastern Airlines, and the first prize in the poetry category of literary creation in Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province. Guo, a recitation artist, recited his poems in Shanghai Humanities and Arts Channel, Shanghai Library and China Pavilion of Shanghai World Expo. It was specially recommended by Star Poetry Magazine 1994,No. 12, One Star, and Poetry Magazine 2010165438+1the through train of the Youth Poetry Club in the second half of October, etc. He has been selected as the best work of the year for many times, and has been shortlisted for 201China Young Poet Award and Red Sorghum Poetry Award.
1999 to 2006, I stopped writing and devoted myself to journalism research and practice under the market economy. He used to be the editor of Huashang Daily, Huashang Morning News, Information Times, Southeast Express, News Noon, director of social department, director of interview center, assistant editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief. He took the lead in opening a prize-winning news hotline in China and put forward the concept of "readers order their own news products". Since 2000, he has planned sensational news such as "I will marry whoever saves my mother", "collective marriage for older officers" and "orphans openly choose their parents", which has become a model of continuous cloning in the news industry.
In 2007, the income of non-literary manuscripts really solved the problem of survival and life, and then returned to the field of pure literature to write poems and novels with peace of mind. Although the creation of pure literature is unprofitable and even laborious, I still regard pure literature as the most important thing for me in the next twenty years.
Chen Cang's literary motto is: we don't ask for anything, just ask for something to stay.
