Zhou Xiaotian, a poet and professor, won China's prestigious Lu Xun Literature Prize in August. The award brought him fire instead of applause with some denouncing the honor as a "shame on poetry."
Not long after the announcement, Zhou's verses were posted online by Internet users with the charge of being "nothing more than doggerels unworthy of the prize."
