Zhuo Jin, an authoritative domestic scholar on Can Xue and director of the Institute of literature of the Hunan Academy of Social Sciences, told litchi news that it is inevitable that can Xue will become a popular candidate, because the literary quality and literary value of her works will be found there sooner or later.
More than ten years ago, it was rumored that many works had been translated into Swedish

In January 1985, Can Xue first published his novel cabin on the mountain, which has been written in six million words. His representative works include cottage on the mountain, Huangni street, old floating clouds, Wuxiang street, the last lover and so on.
Zhuo Jin told Lichi news that CanXue's works have been widely spread overseas. As early as 1991, kawachu study news agency of Japan published "old floating clouds". Since then, Can Xue has been engaged in writing for many years, and his works have been published abroad almost every year. At present, Can Xue's works have been translated into English, French, German, Japanese, Swedish, Italian, Vietnamese and other languages.
Zhuo Jin also revealed to litchi news that more than a decade ago, there were rumors that can Xue had the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize for literature. Many of CanXue's novels have been translated into Swedish and published. Swedish newspapers have also published CanXue's photos and recommendations. Swedish sinologists highly evaluate CanXue's works.
According to media reports, Lichi news found that there were rumors that can Xue had won the Nobel Prize for literature. According to Changsha Evening News, Swedish cultural journalist Xia Gu was asked to predict the winners of the Nobel Prize at a press conference before Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature. He said, I don't predict, but I hope Chinese female writer can Xue won the prize & hellip& hellip; As a result, people mistakenly thought that as a student of Ma Yueran, he knew the inside information. Five or six newspapers published the news that can Xue would win the Nobel Prize, including VOA and Swedish media reporters calling Can Xue.
Can Xue later said that the Nobel prize may not be obtained because it has another evaluation system, but it is possible for me to obtain other international literary awards. Lichi news learned that at present, Can Xue is the only Chinese writer who has won the best translated book award in the United States. She has been nominated for the British independent foreign novel award, shortlisted for the international Booker award and shortlisted for the American newstate international literature award. Well known critics in Europe, America and Japan did not hesitate to praise her works. Japan has also established the CanXue Research Association and the magazine CanXue research.
For the reasons why can Xue is highly respected in the overseas world, Zhuo Jin said, 'Can Xue's inward perspective, originality, imagination and anti typological writing style have made her widely welcomed overseas. She has been exploring the artistic form of novel creation and has been at the forefront. She doesn't want to repeat other people's methods'.
Living in seclusion and simplicity, he used to be a tailor and an English teacher
Zhuo Jin told Lichi news that can Xue is not engaged in realistic creation, but in 'pioneer' writing from an inward perspective, which is much more difficult. " She has been writing since she became a professional writer. However, the daily amount of creation is not high, about hundreds of words. She sat down, spread out the manuscript paper, and then entered her unique inner world '.
'besides writing, she is a normal mother, wife, daughter and friend. She separates the writing world from the real world. In her early days as a tailor, Can Xue would receive customers to measure and sew, focusing on her real world; But when writing, she will enter her inner world '.
Zhuo Jin revealed to litchi news that can Xue lives in seclusion and doesn't often use mobile phones or wechat, but he will understand information through the network. After retiring from Hunan Writers Association, he now moves to Xishuangbanna to write.
From machinery factory workers, tailors to writers, Can Xue's writing experience is a legend. From primary school graduation to English accessibility, Can Xue's English self-study is also an 'inspirational story'.
According to Xiaoxiang Morning Post, for more than 20 years, Can Xue has insisted on reading English every day, even for an hour every day. More than 20 years of English self-study made it easy for Can Xue to read English novels, so that her novels were translated abroad and she did her own English proofreading of foreign books. She also wrote her own articles in English and wrote an article about her creation, which was published in American magazines and reprinted by the famous British guardian. Later, because of Can Xue's article, the guardian specially opened a series of writers from all over the world talking about creation.
Lichi news learned that can Xue also opened an all English Q & a column on the MIT Chinese writers website. Jonathan & middot, head of the website; Griffith told Lichi news that can Xue is currently engaged in a writing project. We all hope that can Xue can win the Nobel Prize for literature.
