The Lu Xun Literary Prize (or Lu Xun Literature Prize) 鲁迅文学奖 is a literary prize awarded by China Writers Association. It is one of China's top four literary prizes and is named after Lu Xun and has been awarded every three years since 1995. Its predecessor, the National Outstanding Short Story Award and National Outstanding Novella Award, was established since the beginning of the new-era literature in the early 1980s.
Some of the critics believe that the credibility of "Lu Xun Literary Prize" is getting worse, and the basic attitude of their criticisms is that the "Lu Xun Literary Prize" has nothing to do with the "Lu Xun’s Spirit", and "lacks specific standards", "is a black box operation", and "is a money-for-award transaction". The prize should be awarded to the really outstanding writers, and the process of appraisal and election should be transparent.
The 2010 Lu Xun literature prize 5th Award Ceremony was held in Shaoxing on October 19, 2010. Che Yangao, secretary of the discipline inspection committee in Hubei's capital city of Wuhan, won the award for his collection of poems "Yearning for Warmth."
The Prize has seven award categories:

National Excellent Novella Award
National Excellent Short Story Award
National Excellent Reportage Award
National Outstanding Poetry Award
National Excellent Prose Essay Prize
National Outstanding Literary Review Awards
National Outstanding Literary Translation Award (formerly the Rainbow Translation Award)
