After a year's time, Chairman Li completed the writing of the "Biography of Maynur Hasmu" (hereinafter referred to as the biography), which is 160,000 words long. The process of creating this biography was not easy, and it should be paid accordingly. However, unexpectedly, Ah Di and others delayed in the payment of manuscript fees, and even found a lawyer to intervene. After investigation, the lawyer confirmed that Adi and others should pay the corresponding fees. The lawyer promised to settle the settlement at the end of January 2014, and then changed it to before the Spring Festival, but so far there has been no result.
This series of events has aroused widespread concern in the industry, and everyone is **Who is Mayinur Hasim? Why write a biography of her? Who are the "they" that Mr. Wang refers to? Why do you refuse to pay your manuscript fee? What is the reason behind this?
In this article, we will take you through the story behind the dispute over the Biography of Maynur Hasmu.
Mayinur Hasmu, a native of Huocheng, Xinjiang, is a Uyghur who joined the Communist Party of China in 1952. She was a member of the Standing Committee of the Eighth National People's Congress, a member of the Second National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the vice chairman of the Fourth to Seventh All-China Women's Federation. On February 28, 2021, Mayinur passed away in Urumqi at the age of 92. Her husband was the founding hero Ahmatjan Hasmu, one of the main leaders of the revolution in the three regions of Xinjiang, who was killed in a plane crash on the way to the founding ceremony in September 1949. The couple has two children, and their son, Adilijiang, is one of the main responsible persons in the dispute.
At the beginning of December 2022, Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of a listed company, approached Mr. Wang, hoping that Mr. Wang could write a biography of his friend Adilijiang's mother, Mayinur Hasmu. Zhang handed over the relevant materials of Mayinur to Mr. Wang, and after studying it for a period of time, Mr. Wang thought that it was difficult for him to be competent for such a grand historical figure. However, with Zhang's encouragement, Mr. Wang invited Li, a well-known Chinese writer and vice chairman of the local writers' association, to participate in the writing work.
On December 29, Mr. Wang and two other writers went to Zhang's house to discuss the creative direction of "Biography" with Adilijiang and Zhang. Since everyone is an insider, there was a quick agreement on the content and direction of the Biography. Zhang asked Mr. Wang to write a detailed plan for the "Biography" within a week.
On January 7, 2023, Mr. Wang and Chairman Li came to Zhang's house again with the draft to discuss the implementation plan of the biography with Adilijiang, Zhang and others. Adilijiang and Zhang highly approved of the draft. Subsequently, Zhang and Mr. Wang separately communicated the details of the execution, including the number of words of the "Biography", the time node, and the payment method of the manuscript fee.
However, in the actual implementation process, disputes gradually emerged. In April, Mr. Wang and others planned to go to Xinjiang for an on-the-spot investigation and supplementary information, but Adilijiang refused to be visited and received on the grounds that his lover was ill.
In July, Mr. Wang delivered part of the first draft as promised, and Zhang and Adilijiang highly recognized the content of the manuscript, but in terms of paying the fee, Zhang said that due to the company's financial constraints, he would not pay the second manuscript fee for the time being, but he said that he had communicated with Adilijiang, and Adilijiang was willing to bear the cost himself, so that Mr. Wang could connect and confirm with Adilijiang himself.
After Mr. Wang then communicated with Adilijiang in detail, Adilijiang expressed his willingness to accept the conditions of Zhang's negotiation and made it clear that Mr. Wang would continue to do it, but because his lover was still undergoing surgery, the payment of the writing fee was suspended.
Out of trust in Zhang, a good impression of Adilijiang, and his admiration for Adilijiang's mother, Mr. Wang accepted Adilijiang's request for a postponement of the relationship.
With the passage of time, on November 27, Mr. Wang and Chairman Li completed the writing of the "Biography", and Adilijiang also recognized the quality of the manuscript. However, no one paid the writing fee, and although Mr. Wang communicated with Zhang, Adilijiang and others many times, it has not been properly resolved. What's even more incomprehensible is that Adilijiang actually scolded Mr. Wang and Chairman Li for being ** and so on.
To sum up, the dispute over the Biography of Mayinur Hasmu was caused by the disregard of the spirit of the contract by Adilijiang and Zhang. Although the lawyer they entrusted also confirmed that Adilijiang and others should pay the manuscript fee, promised to pay it in a week, and later promised to pay before the Spring Festival, they have never fulfilled their promise.
This incident has aroused widespread attention, and it is expected that Adilijiang, Zhang and others can uphold the principle of good faith and properly resolve the dispute, so that "The Biography of Maynur Hasmu" can be published.
Later, we will release the details and evidence of this matter in detail, so stay tuned.
