GMW Commentator's View
Chinese writer Mo Yan made history at 7 p.m. Thursday Beijing Time, when the two Chinese characters “Mo Yan” were spoken out by Peter Englund, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy in Stockholm as the name of the winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature. Mo Yan's win brought joy to his supporters, stunned the literary circles in China and made the general opinion in a very disturbed state.
The Chinese people, although just waiting for the result of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature several days, had been looking forward to the moment for a century as no Chinese national had ever won the Nobel Prize in literature in its century-long history, thus making Mo Yan’s winning the Nobel Prize full of implication. | |
