Mao Dun Literature Prize
Mao Dun Literature Prize (Chinese: 茅盾文学奖; pinyin: Máo Dùn Wénxué Jiǎng) is a prize for novels, established in the will of prominent Chinese writer Mao Dun (for which he personally donated 250,000 RMB) and sponsored by the China Writers Association.According to selection rule, any work, authored by Chinese nationals, published in mainland China, and with over 130,000 characters, is eligible.[1] An editorial in the China Daily stated "official status cannot and should not be a criterion for literary excellence.That's why people doubt the authenticity of prizes that are awarded to officials for their literary achievements."[1] To avoid such controversy, novelist Tie Ning decided her works will not enter the awards as long as she is chairwoman of China Writers Association, a position she took in 2006.
