【新唐人2011年7月18日訊】日前，主持人倪萍獲得了所謂“共和國脊樑”的稱號，引發網上嘲諷和罵聲一片，知名作家李承鵬在微博上諷刺倪萍是得了「頸椎病的脊樑」。此後，有網友爆料說：花9800元錢可以參加“中華脊樑獎頒獎”，因此質疑倪萍花錢買獎。更有大陸媒體揭露，這個“共和國脊樑”的頒獎只是一場鬧劇和騙局。
7月10號，「共和國脊樑系列活動」頒獎典禮，在北京國家會議中心舉行，主持人倪萍、電影藝術家田華、導演張繼剛、中國曲藝家協會主席劉蘭芳等300多人，獲得了「共和國脊樑功勳人物」、「傑出人物」等稱號。
網友們發現，獲獎者多為文藝界人士，由此對評獎標準、評委組成及評獎形式等產生質疑，以倪萍為首的當選人物成為眾矢之的。民眾質疑只會投贊同票的政協委員倪萍，無法擔當“脊樑”稱號。
李承鵬在微博開玩笑說，“倪萍姐姐確實是共和國脊樑，只是得了頸椎病。” 當晚7點13分，倪萍通過博客回應了李承鵬的批評，她在博客中聲稱自己不配得獎，希望李承鵬理解。對此，李承鵬再度於7月14號發表博文，他表示倪萍的回覆，表面上是一篇特別謙虛厚道和溫暖感動的文章，但是卻透著一種「春晚體」的假。他說：“不為老百姓說話的代表即使是脊樑也是頸椎病的7，而不是迎風招展的1。”
博客作者喬志峰發表一篇題為《只會投贊同票的倪萍是共和國脊樑（嗎）？》文章，內容說：「記得在兩會上，身為全國政協委員的倪萍在接受媒體採訪時，很自豪的說：我參加政協以來，都是投贊同票，我愛國，我不添亂，從不反對或棄權。」
喬志峰寫道：只會投或只敢投“贊同票”的人，不管她有多麼冠冕堂皇的理由，都不值得原諒――此種做法即使不能說是“媚權”或患有“軟骨病”，最起碼缺乏應有的責任感，不應該也不配成為“共和國脊樑”。
7月15號，一名叫劉先明的網友聲稱，自己在今年5月曾收到邀請，參加“功勳中國優秀人物”頒獎盛典的郵件，但參加活動需交納9800元，他認為這“有花錢買獎的嫌疑”，最終沒有理會。
他還懷疑這封郵件中所說的“中華脊樑”獎，就是倪萍所獲得的“共和國脊樑”獎，因為活動都是由「中國經濟報刊協會」等單位發起的。有消息說，活動的官方網站“功勳中國網”已經被關閉，頁面提示為“網站由於未備案，被依法關閉”。
《騰訊網》則以《倪萍獲“共和國脊樑”乃騙局》為題，作了專題報導，認為目前還不能斷然將這9800元的“中華脊樑”與“共和國脊樑”扯到一起；但經過多方查證，可以確認的是“共和國脊樑”頒獎，其實是一場鬧劇和騙局，而導演正是活動組委會祕書長、中國經濟報刊協會副會長、影響力人物雜誌社總編輯——劉學文。
《騰訊網》的報導寫道，2001年，“一無資金、二無關係”的劉學文，組織了一場名為“共和國的脊樑”的徵文活動。《人民日報》發文高度評價，認為這是文學界獻給建黨80華誕的一份厚禮。這次活動就是劉學文起家的“老本”。劉學文通過掛靠、籠絡實權單位，借殼收錢，名人效應“吸引客戶”，和利用媒體發文方式“回饋客戶”的套路運作這個“評獎產業”長達十年。
報導還分析，這次“脊樑獎”被曝光的原因，主要是這個稱號太招搖，與倪萍固有的“名人效應”重合，吸引了太多眼球。同時李承鵬引發的微博討論，也起到了推波助瀾的作用，並最終引爆了這個關注點。

“Backbone Award": Farce or Scam?
Recently, TV host Ni Ping won
the so-called "Backbone of Republic" Award,
which has led to ridicules and condemnation by
Chinese netizens.
Well-known writer Li Chengpeng said satirically that
Ni Ping was “a spine with cervical spondylosis."
Later netizens revealed that
it cost RMB 9,800 to buy such an award.
Therefore, they questioned that
Ni Ping had paid for her award.
Chinese media revealed that
this award was just a farce and scam.
On July 10, "Backbone of the Republic" award ceremony
took place in Beijing's National Convention Centre.
More than 300 celebrities, including TV hostess Ni Ping,
film star Tian Hua, director Zhang Jigang,
Chinese Ballad Singers Association President Liu Lanfang,
received various titles, such as “Backbone of the Republic”.
Netizens discovered that most winners were artists.
So they questioned the award criteria,
assessment panel composition and award procedures.
Netizens questioned Ni Ping,
a CCP's National Committee member,
who only votes in favor of the CCP,
is not worth the "backbone" title.
Li Chengeng joked on microblog that,
"Ni Ping is really the backbone of the republic,
only that she's got cervical spondylosis."
Soon Ni responded to Li's criticism by saying that
she was not entitled to receive the award,
and she asked for Li's understanding.
Li posted another blog saying that
Ni's reply appearing to be modest, kind and warm,
but in fact it had “CCP Spring Festival's hypocrisy ".
He said, "If a people's delegate does not speak for the people,
even if she were a backbone,
she would be a backbone with cervical spondylosis.
She is not righteous or honest."
Blog author Qiao Zhifeng published an article entitled,
"Is the Ni Ping that only votes yes a Republican Backbone?"
It said: "I remember, Ni Ping, a CPP's meeting participant
said proudly in an interview that
“I only vote yes. Because I love China; I am not a trouble maker.
I never vote against (the CCP) or abstain from voting."
If a person only votes in favor (of the ruling CCP),
then no matter what high-sounding reasons she has,
she cannot be forgiven.
Even if her behavior cannot be called "kissing up" or
"having rickets", at least she lacks responsibility,
so she does not deserve to be called
"the backbone of the republic."
On July 15, a netizen named Liu Xianming said,
he received an invitation
to join one "Outstanding Chinese People"
award ceremony in May 2011.
However, the precondition was
to pay RMB 9800 to participate.
Liu said "there is a suspicion of buying awards",
so he ignored this invitation.
He also questioned the so-called "backbone of China" award
mentioned by the invitation was the one received by Ni Ping.
This activity was initiated by
"China Economic Newspaper Association.”
It's said that host organization's official website
was later shut down, as “the site was not registered”.
Tencent published
an article "Ni Ping's Backbone Award is a Scam".
It said that after careful investigation, they confirm that
the "backbone of the republic award" is a farce and fraud.
The organizer of the award activity is Liu Xuewen,
the Secretary General of the award committee,
vice president of China's Economic Newspaper and
the editor-in-chief of the Chinese magazine Influential People.
Tencent's the report said, in 2001,
without funding or connections,
Liu organized an essay competition called
"Backbone of the Republic".
The activity was highly praised by People's Daily,
who called it a gift dedicated to the 80th anniversary
of the CCP from the literary field.
This event raised Liu in status.
He started his “award industry' through affiliation, bribery,
fund raising and celebrity effects to attract clients.
He has operated this system
for over ten years.
The report also analyzed that the reason for the “Backbone
Award” revelation was because that this blatant award,
combined with Ni Ping's "celebrity effect",
has attracted too many eyeballs.
Also Li Chengpeng's microblog posts also played a role
in fueling the public concern of the event.
