Chinese readers have waited for several nights, and some enthusiasts have even drafted acceptance speeches in advance for a Chinese writer who they believed must be the winner, yet they did not end up winning the Nobel Prize in Literature that they were so eager for.
Chinese people have a special complex about the Nobel Prize. They yearn for recognition from the world, especially the Western world, but on the other hand, they are unwilling to acknowledge some universal values, which makes them very conflicted. Especially after Japanese people have won various Nobel Prizes one after another year after year, Chinese people have been deeply stimulated and find it hard to accept compared with a small country.
However, when Nobel laureates actually belong to mainland China, they have not really received acceptance from the relevant mainstream circles. For example, Mo Yan, the Nobel Literature Prize winner in 2012, did not receive personal commendation from the official authorities, nor was there a grand ceremony to welcome this record-breaking writer. Another Nobel laureate, Tu Youyou, who has been awarded the highest honor in the world of science, was not eligible for membership in China's domestic academicians selection, which has become an even bigger joke.
