Acceptance Speech
Ladies and gentlemen, and my respectful sir, Bai.
Thank you for your encouragement, support, and generosity. Thank you for rewarding me with the best dictatorship of 2023.
For many years, I have been trying to win this award. To win it, I have been putting a lot of sweat and blood into my effort. I never take advice from others, I kill any different opinions, and everyone must have to agree with me.
In short, I am God, also the dictator. I believe I created everything, and this world is mine.
I am very excited right now because I finally won this great honor.
I need to say millions of thanks to you all, and Mr. Bai, who generously rewarded me.
Starting now, don't call me Tian Xingjian, call me the dictator. I am so proud of being called that.
The chives, I love you. (People consider ordinary citizens chives as they are exploited by the government.)
I never take advice from others, I killbulldoze any different opinions, and everyone must have to agree with me.

Thank you very much! Bulldoze is a new word for me.
Acceptance Speech
Ladies and gentlemen, and [my respectful sir], Bai.
“My respectful sir” sounds unnatural, but I can’t correct it because I don’t know whom “Bai” is supposed to represent, or what you want to imply with this phrase.
Thank you for your encouragement, support, and generosity.
Thank you for rewarding me with the best dictatorship of 2023.
“Rewarding me with the best dictatorship” sounds like people are assigned to be dictators of different countries, with each assignment lasting for a year. Some of these jobs are considered better than others, and for 2023, the speaker has been assigned to the best one. I don’t think this is what you mean. Instead, I think you mean something like the Academy Awards for movies: “Thank you for giving me the Best Dictator of 2023 award.”
For many years, I have been trying to win this award.
To win it, I have been putting in a lot of blood and sweat and blood into my effort.
Your original is grammatically correct but unnatural.
I never take advice from others, I kill any differentll contrary opinions, and everyone must havehas to agree with me.
In short, I am God, also thea dictator.
I assume you mean that God is also a dictator. However, if you mean that the speaker is BOTH God and dictator, you would need to add “and”: “I am God, and also a dictator.”
I believe I created everything, and this world is mine.
I am very excited right now because I (have) finally won this great honor.
More natural.
I need to say millions of thanks to you all, and to Mr. Bai, who generously [rewarded] me.
See my comments after the third sentence. If you mean that they gave him an award, then “rewarded” is unnatural. But if you mean they rewarded him by making him dictator, then it’s fine.
Starting now / From now on, don't call me Tian Xingjian, call me the dictator.
I am so proud tof being called thatis.
More natural.
The c Chives, I love you.
or: To the chives: I love you.
(People considerall ordinary citizens “chives” as they are exploited by the government.)
Feedback
Some of my corrections might be wrong because I’m not completely sure what you want to say with each metaphor, even though the overall message is clear.

我有一个微信群，群主是白先生。他删除了几个与他意见相左的人，所以，部分群友说他本人就是一个大独裁者（因为他本人一直以反对独裁为傲）。
此次风波之后，我在那个微信群发了一段英文信息，其中包含一句古诗。他看后问我能否把那句古诗翻译成英文。
别的群友看到我的翻译后想了解一些情况，我就调侃说是大独裁者白先生强迫我翻译的。他看后知道我在调侃他，就发了一段消息来调侃我，说我因为在汉译英中出色的表现被评为2023年度最佳独裁者。
我看到他的信息后推波助澜，以调侃的语气写了这篇“获奖感言”。这篇短文写得很不成熟，有许多缺陷，但权当一乐吧。
谢谢你的修改。下面我附上我翻译的那首古诗。
（昨夜雨疏风骤，浓睡不消残酒。
试问卷帘人，却道海棠依旧。
知否，知否？
应是绿肥红瘦。
宋·李清照）
Last night, the rain was light, but the wind was strong.
I was still a little drunk although I slept soundly last night.
I asked my maidservant about how the situations were outside.
She said that the begonias still looked the same as before.
Did you know? They must have been with more leaves and fewer flowers.

抱歉我这么久没来这里……
谢谢你解释这篇文章的背景给我看。很有意思……如果是我的话，我早就已经离开那个微信群了。
你知道吗，第一眼看你这篇英文文章，就以为你写的 “我” 就是习近平，以为你在调侃习近平，让我吃了一惊！

After rereading your English post for the third or fourth time just now, I can say there’s really nothing in it to indicate that you’re not talking about a real dictator of a real country. :-)

谢谢你这段话。我只是一个语言学习者，对政治和宗教从来不感兴趣。我只是找话题让我多练一下自己的英文写作。
To win it, I have been putting in a lot of sweat and blood into my effort.
I don't think "into my effort" is needed
I never take advice from others, I kill any different opinions, and everyone must have to agree with me.
"must" or "has to"

I greatly enjoyed reading this. I have learnt something about the term chives! Thank you. Please don't kill me for my edits, great dictator.

Haha, thank you so much for correcting my writings. You helped me with my English, so you are my god. In front of you, I am just a little student.
