This year’s winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Chinese author Mo Yan, has left for Sweden with his wife and daughter, to accept the award.
Mo is taking traditional Chinese outfits, and also a tuxedo, to wear at the ceremony. Mo is scheduled to deliver several speeches to share his writing experiences.
The Swedish Academy announced in October that Mo had won the prize for his “hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary." Mo is the first Chinese person to win the prize for literature.
