在李铭的名字前,可以有很多头衔:小说家、剧作家、电影编剧……李铭获得的荣誉和奖励也多得数不过来,他的小说蝉联过辽宁文学奖短篇小说奖;他是全国话剧金狮奖获得者;他编剧的电影在国内外斩获了多项大奖……10多年前,李铭还有另外一个身份——农民工。他始终怀揣着对文学的执着热爱和美好憧憬,笔耕不辍,一路走来,把人生演绎成了梦想成真的奇迹。用李铭自己的话说——叫"逆袭"。
Li Ming was born in a remote village in western Liaoning province in 1972. Having listened to book commentaries throughout his childhood, he developed a passion for literature. Due to the limited family background of Li Ming, he wasn’t able to graduate middle school until he was 20. After middle school, Li Ming worked for a cement factory in his country, then later at a retirement home in Xingcheng. After starting a family, he even sold vegetables on North Chaoyang Street for four years. In order to support his family, he also worked for a construction team for six years as a physical labourer, watchman, keeper, cook and material man. Although Li Ming struggled at the bottom of the social food chain, his spiritual world was enriched. One by one, his short stories and novels were published, and those pieces, including "Candlelight in the Dark," kept his dream alive and reinstated his confidence towards writing. Li Ming’s life changed drastically in 2002 when determinedly, he left his job as hotel security and took the course for new and vigorous writers at the Liaoning Literary Institute. He was able to walk into the literature sanctuary he has long yearned for and start pursuing his dream.Li Ming has had a long hard life, yet he always appreciates the beauty that life has given him, and the hardships that he faced throughout have become wealth, not tragedy. Today, Li Ming, as novelist, playwright, screenwriter… has also received countless honors and awards, and his novel won the Liaoning Literature Award for Short Fictions many years in a row. Li Ming is also the winner of the Gold Lion Award for Drama, and the movie he wrote won many awards both domestically and internationally. Li Ming will never stop moving forward, and to him, life is and will always be an inexhaustible source for creation.
