Regarding how to view Gao Xingjian winning the Nobel Prize for Literature.The delegates at the conference generally believed that the fact that Gao Xingjian won the Nobel Prize cannot be avoided in contemporary literary research, and Gao Xingjian's insistence on not being a political tool is worthy of reflection in the literary world.Gao's works and remarks are bound to become the subject of future research. Bai Ye, executive vice president of the research association and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Gao Xingjian's award was unexpected and reasonable.He believed that Gao could not write without leaving China.This work is very relaxed, telling history through personal experience, which is both thoughtful and readable. "The Chinese literary world should gradually get to know Gao and his works, and the research community should especially pay attention to his development. The Chinese Writers Association's statement on Gao's award is very political and not broad-minded enough. There should be objective and thoughtful reports."

Meng Fanhua, the new deputy secretary-general of the Research Society, believes that peace is good, and the Nobel Prize is not fooling around.Some domestic comments and reactions stem from not having read the works after the 1980s and 17th years, followed by political sentiment and psychological imbalance.Meng pointed out that the greatest value of Gao Xingjian's works lies in re-questioning and thinking about people. "Writing works that won the Nobel Prize are always examples of writing. They show the appeal of weak cultures hoping to be recognized by strong cultures. However, Gao's Chinese works won the prize, but the encounter was extremely cold. It is very meaningful to analyze the reaction of the Chinese writing circle." .

Yao Xinyong, a professor at Jinan University, used Lu Xun's statement that everyone is good at the Nobel Prize, but not to the Chinese as an introduction, pointing out that the Chinese contemporary literary circles are ignorant of Gao Xingjian's works after 1987 and 1988, and are "collective idiots." ".He said that the Chinese contemporary literary world can only feel humiliated by the high award.Yao asked: "Who caused this humiliation?" It turned out that the critics in the 1980s were very familiar with Gao Xingjian, who was very active, but after 1989 and 1989, he was so unfamiliar and so unfamiliar that he won an award, and everyone had nothing to say. Say.Yao pointed out: "It is the uncontrollable power that makes those of us who eat criticism temporarily slaves and don't know it."
