Then I went to find Baidu~~

Born in Nagasaki, Japan in 1954, he moved to the UK in 1960 because his father went to work in the UK as an oceanographer, which means he only lived in Japan for 6 years. He later graduated from the University of Kent and the University of East Anglia, and obtained British citizenship in 1982. He, Rushdie and Naipaul are known as the "three great immigrants in the British literary world."

7 novels, a collection of short stories, and a screenplay.

The Nobel Prize committee said his work " explores the abyss beneath the illusion of our connection to the world ."

He said that he only believed that he had won the award when the BBC called him to tell him that he had won the award. He only believed in the BBC.

He also admitted that he admired Bob Dylan very much and felt honored to win the Nobel Prize in Literature after him.

Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

However, netizens focused their attention on Haruki Murakami, who once again missed the Nobel Prize in Literature.

But which literary giant has not been a runner-up?

Neruda was a runner-up for half his life and only won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971.

And the little Leo in the film industry

After running for 22 years, from a young boy to a middle-aged man who was "pushed around by bears", he finally completed his journey to the Olympics.

So we have to believe in Murakami, and we should also read more of Kazuo Ishiguro's works. Even Murakami himself said -

So far, I have never been disappointed or dissatisfied when reading Ishiguro's works.

——Haruki Murakami

As spectators, we should not comment on who should win the award, but rather look at whether the winners' winning works are worthy of the award. I believe that the public's eyes are very discerning.

Not judging by the Nobel Prize, but by the writing that amazes people
