It doesn’t say if this is specifically what won him the prize, but I like it

The published anthology wins the prize, rather than an individual poem.

Does “Chinese state media declares it so” not count?

Where does it say that's the poem that won it? It just says he won a prize for his poems, and that is one of his poems. Unless I'm missing something in the article/a joke/etc.

??? Is your problem literally just that he’s a Chinese poet that won a literary prize in China? Am I supposed to pretend I didn’t like the poem because of that or something? Is this a bit I’m not getting?

"Financially I don't need this job to make a living, but I love the vibe of the work and it keeps me fit," said the Global Times report. "I want a down-to-earth life and the award will never change who I am."
westoid "nobody wants to work anymore" cunts seething
also yeah, that line fucking rules. i feel that kinda "when you're flying high, you can't see the lovely details of life on this blue marble in space, you only get a chaotic sense of tbe big picture, which compells you to bring order (mass surveillance and fascism) to it. only if you fly low and embrace the humble life of the working people, can you truly live" vibe with it
