Critic of China's One-Child Policy Wins Nobel Prize for Literature
Chinese author Mo Yan, a critic of the forced-abortion one-child policy in China, won the Nobel Prize for Literature today. Mo Yan, who said he was "overjoyed and scared" at winning the prize, is an outspoken opponent of the policy that results in massive human rights abuses.
Mo's Nobel biography notes that his most recent work, Wa, highlights the harsh reality of the coercive family planning in China. It tells the story of a rural gynecologist who delivers babies and also performs abortions in her role as an enforcer of the One-Child Policy. Ref. Source 2
