Why is the Nobel Prize in Literature not a Chinese writer

Cultural differences and the connotations of written expressions.

For example, we don't necessarily like British humorous jokes.

For example, the same meaning in Chinese can be expressed in many forms, such as ancient poetry, classical Chinese, modern poetry, and vernacular, while English cannot do it.

In the long river of human history, the truth is difficult to discover, because it is as heavy as ** and always sinks to the bottom of the river. On the contrary, those fallacies and heresies that are as light as cow dung float on it and are overflowing. Bacon.

The Nobel Prize is generally considered the highest honor achievable in all the fields of awarding in the world (physics, chemistry, peace, physiology or medicine, literature and economics). It is undeniable that winning the Nobel Prize is a dream for many. In particular, in addition to a gold medal and a certificate, the winner will receive a large prize money – this year, the Nobel Prize will be raised to 10 million Swedish kronor (about $1.1 million).

With this money, you can buy a house in Shanghai. And what about the rest? Of course, it is repaid in installments.

So, are there any winners who won the Nobel Prize but refused to accept it? Yes, and more than one.

The first person to refuse to receive the Nobel Prize was the German biochemist Kuhn.

In 1938, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Kuhn the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his contributions to research on carotenoids and vitamins. However, since 1935, when the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Osietsky, a German who was imprisoned in a concentration camp, Germany issued a decree that no German should be allowed to accept any Nobel Prize. As a result, Kuhn was unable to travel to Stockholm to receive the award.

In 1949, World War II was long over. Kuhn went to Stockholm and got a Nobel gold medal and a certificate, but he didn't get a prize money. According to the regulations, he has automatically returned to the Nobel Meeting.

The second person to refuse the Nobel Prize was the German biochemist Domark.

In 1939, Domark was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Biology. For the same reasons as Kuhn, Domark was forced to refuse to accept the Nobel Prize. In 1947, Domark traveled to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Gold Medal and certificate.

The third person who refused to accept the Nobel Prize was the Soviet writer Pasternak.

Back in the 20s of the 20th century, Pasternak made a name for himself in the world of poetry and enjoyed great prestige. In 1956, Pasternak completed Doctor Zhivago, which won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958.

The possibility of winning awards is relatively low, and there are few Chinese writers who can win awards.

Mo. At 19:00 on October 11, 2012, Mo Yan won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first Chinese writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, creating a precedent for China to win this award in the world.

Ma Yueran, a famous Swedish sinologist and judge of the Nobel Prize in Literature, commented on Mo Yan: "Mo Yan is very good at telling stories, too good at telling stories. His ** is very long, except for "Mo Yan** Nine Paragraphs" published in "Shanghai Literature".

I feel like he's written too much, and it's better if his book was half as thick as it is now. ”

He also personally said to Mo Yan: "Your ** is too long, you write too much." Mo Yan humorously: "I know, but because I am very good at telling stories, as long as I start, I can't finish it." ”
