The Independent Press Award is not just an honor; it reminds us of the power of literature to transcend geographical and emotional boundaries. We share a broad and diverse range of human experiences and are deeply interconnected.” His words resonated deeply with the audience.
The enthusiastic response at the award ceremony slightly surprised Xue Mo, but it was also expected. It seems as if Xue Mo carries a kind of inherent luck, with red carpets laid out wherever he goes, referred to as the “Xue Mo Phenomenon.” This admiration stems not just from his literary works but also from his sincerity. Xue Mo pours his wisdom and sincerity into his writing, addressing universal human desires to overcome predicaments and change one’s destiny.
As an outstanding figure in contemporary Chinese literature, Xue Mo is celebrated not only in China but also internationally. His works have been translated into over 30 foreign languages and have reached readers around the globe, showcasing the unique charm and profound depth of Chinese literature. Xue Mo hopes to use literature as a bridge, allowing readers from different cultural backgrounds to find resonance and understanding in his pages, sharing in the wisdom and emotions of humanity.
“I wish to be friends with readers worldwide,” Xue Mo said, advocating for a world where the cheers of literary appreciation replace the explosions of warfare. This has always been one of his core motivations for writing.
This award not only acknowledges Xue Mo’s work but also recognizes his role as a cultural ambassador. Through his writings, he conveys Chinese stories that reflect universal human aspirations, showcasing the allure of Chinese culture to global readers.
