近年来，中华文化“走出去”的影响力不断扩大，在全球文化多元化发展日益兴盛的背景下，中国文化译研网（CCTSS）联合中国作家协会《小说选刊》杂志社，启动“新世纪中国当代作家、作品海外传播数据库”项目，将100位中国当代优秀作家的简介、代表作品以及展示作家风采的短视频翻译为10种语言，集结成1000张中国作家名片向全球推介。千张“作家名片”将鲜明地向世界宣告：我是中国作家，我在进行中国创作。

　　此种形式和规模是中国故事走向世界的一大创新，会让世界更加全面、客观、公正地了解中国优秀作家作品，同时也是打通中国文化走向世界的“最后一公里”。

　　叶舟，男，本名叶洲，1966年2月13日出生于甘肃省兰州市一只船街道，这便是“叶舟”的由来。现任中国人民政治协商会议第十三届全国委员会委员，中国作家协会诗歌委员会委员，甘肃省作家协会副主席，甘肃日报社主任编辑。1988年毕业于黄河之滨的西北师范大学后，曾做过教师，后来在报社任职，当过记者和编辑，业余时间从事诗歌、小说、散文和影视剧本的创作。曾就读于鲁迅文学院“第七届青年作家高级研讨班”。30多年来，发表过大量的小说、诗歌及散文作品，作品多次入选各种年鉴、年度选本和中国小说排行榜，并被译为英、法、日、韩、俄等文字，有部分小说被改编为影视剧。作品曾获得第六届鲁迅文学奖、《人民文学》小说奖、《人民文学》年度诗人奖、《十月》文学奖、《钟山》文学奖等。

　　叶舟长期生活在古代丝绸之路的重镇兰州，生活在黄土高原与青藏高原接壤的腹地，生活在黄河之畔。这一片广袤地域所承载的深厚的人文底蕴，斑驳而复杂的历史内涵，以及天高地阔、大开大合的自然风貌，给予了叶舟以无尽的想象与书写的疆域。多年来，叶舟常常像一个浪子，独自远行，叩问自然，向山川大地取经，向人民和美学习，不断地丰富个人的阅历与文字的力量，须臾不离。叶舟深知，这里是他的源泉和福地，他以此为根据地，持续写作着，并将继续下去。

　　叶舟先后著有诗文集《大敦煌》《边疆诗》《练习曲》《叶舟诗选》《敦煌诗经》《引舟如叶》《丝绸之路》《自己的心经》《月光照耀甘肃省》《花儿—青铜枝下的歌谣》《世纪背影——20世纪的隐秘结构》，散文集《漫山遍野的今天》《漫唱》《西北纪》，小说集《叶舟小说》（上下卷）《叶舟的小说》《第八个是铜像》《我的帐篷里有平安》《秦尼巴克》《兄弟我》，长篇小说《案底刺绣》《昔日重来》以及长篇电视连续剧《我们光荣的日子》等。

　　2017年，叶舟推出了最新的诗集《丝绸之路》，包括140首短诗，力图为古代丝绸之路撰写一本“诗传”。有评论认为：全书是对古代丝绸之路的一次现代书写和诗意远征，元气丰沛，境界高迈，想象奇崛；充溢着英雄般的重铸情怀与浪漫主义的深情回望。在作者的笔下，那些山川形胜，地理民俗，江湖庙堂，历史人物，传说与奇迹，鲜花和废墟，皆是这一条辉煌大道上的忠孝苍生，亦是这一伟大谱系中的勇敢后人。诗人让古道苍凉变幻为少年热忱，让先人流徙成为青春奔跑，看一骑远去，慕历史余韵，构筑令人回肠荡气的诗歌边疆。这既是他个人鲜明的风格，也是他为整个中国当代诗坛贡献的独特的审美特质。

　　Ye Zhou 

　　Ye Zhou （叶舟）， whose original name is Ye Zhou （叶洲）， was born on February 13， 1966 on a boat street in Lanzhou City， Gansu Province and this is where he gets his name from （Zhou is the Chinese for “boat”）. He is currently a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference， a member of the Poetry Committee of the China Writers Association， a vice chairman of the Writers Association of Gansu Province， and a director of Gansu Daily Newspaper. After graduating from Northwest Normal University on the banks of the Yellow River in 1988， he worked as a teacher， then for a newspaper as a reporter and editor， and he used his spare time to write poetry， fiction， prose， and film and television scripts. He studied at the “Advanced Seminar for the Seventh Young Writers” at the Lu Xun Institute of Literature. For more than 30 years， he has published a large number of novels， poems and prose works. His works have been selected for various yearbooks， annual and Chinese novel lists and have been translated into English， French， Japanese， Korean， Russian and other languages. Some of his novels have been adapted into films and television dramas. His works have won the Sixth Lu Xun Literature Award， the “People’s Literature” Novel Award， “People’s Literature” Annual Poet Award， “October” Literature Award， the “Zhong Shan” Literary Award and so on. 

　　Ye Zhou has lived in Lanzhou， an important town on the ancient Silk Road， for a long time. He lives in the hinterlands of the Loess Plateau and the Tibetan Plateau on the banks of the Yellow River. The profound humanistic heritage， mottled and complicated historical connotations， and the natural features of the sky and the vast land， which are carried by this vast expanse of territory， have given Ye Zhou endless imagination and writing. Over the years， Ye Zhou has often been like a wanderer， traveling alone， asking questions about nature， learning from mountains and rivers， learning from people and beauty， and constantly enriching the power of connection between personal experience and writing. Ye Zhou knows well that this place is his source and place of blessing. He uses this as a basis to continue writing and will continue doing so.

　　Ye Zhou has written poetry collections including Great Dunhuang， Borderland Poetry， Experimental Song， Ye Zhou’s Poem Selection， Dunhuang Book of Songs， Lead the Boat like a Leaf， Silk Road， My Own Heart， Moonlight Shining in Gansu Province， Flowers - Songs under the Bronze Branch， Back of the Century - The Secret Structure of the 20th Century， the essay collections Today‘s Hills， Endless Singing， Northwestern Chronicles， and the novel collections Ye Zhou’s Novels （two volumes）， The Eighth is a Bronze Statue， There is Peace in My Tent， Qin Nibbak， Brother I， the novels Embroidery at the End of the Case， The Return of the Old Times， and the long-running television series Our Honorable Days.

　　In 2017， Ye Zhou brought out his latest collection of poems， Silk Road， which includes 140 short poems， with the intention of writing a “poetry biography” for the ancient Silk Road. Some commentators believe that the book is a modern writing and poetic expedition to the ancient Silk Road， with abundant vitality， faraway boundaries， and fantastic imagination； it is full of heroic feelings and romanticism. Under the author’s pen， the greatness of the mountains and rivers， geographical folklore， river temples， historical figures， legends and miracles， flowers and ruins are the loyal and filial people on this splendid avenue and the brave descendants of this great pedigree. The poet restores an old road of desolation back to its youthful zeal， allowing the wandering ancestors to become youthful runners， you see them ride away， admire the historical charm， and build an imaginative poetic frontier. This is not only his personal distinctive style， but also his unique aesthetic qualities contributing to the entirety of contemporary Chinese poetry.
