CHINESE author Mo Yan today won the Nobel Literature Prize for writing that mixes folk tales, history and the contemporary, the Swedish Academy announced.
瑞典文学院宣布：中国作家莫言因为其融合了民间传说、历史和当代社会的写作，今天获得诺贝尔文学奖。
"Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition," the Swedish Academy said.
“从历史和社会的视角，莫言用现实和梦幻的融合在作品中创造了一个令人联想的感观世界。”瑞典皇家科学院说。
Yan, whose real name is Guan Moye and was born in 1955, "with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary," the jury said.
莫言原名管谟业，出生于1955年，“魔幻现实主义融合了民间故事、历史与当代社会，”陪审团说。
Mo Yan has published novels, short stories and essays on various topics, and despite his social criticism is seen in his homeland as one of the foremost contemporary authors, the Nobel committee noted.
莫言已出版各种主题的长篇小说、短篇小说和散文，尽管作为当代最重要的作家之一，他的社会批判显露在其寻根文学中，诺贝尔委员会指出。
In his writing Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth.
莫言在他的著作中借鉴了他年轻时候的经历，同时场景也设在他出生的省份。
