Chinese Nobel Laureates in Literature and their English Translators.

 In the year 2000, the Chinese writer Gao Xingjian won the Nobel Prize in Literature with his novel Soul Mountain as the representative work. In 2012, another Chinese writer Mo Yan won the prize and the title with the novel Frogs and other works. The Nobel Prize Committee didn’t attribute anything to their translators without whom no one outside China would have known the Chinese authors and their literary masterworks. My discussion is that how much credit we should contribute to the translators of the literary works – a critical point in translation studies.
