Zhang Zeng, a writer from Chinese mainland, invested $600,000 as a literary academician of the Royal Swedish Academy and a lifetime judge of Nobel Prize in Literature, and won the 20 1 1 Nobel Prize, which attracted wide attention from the international community. It is reported that Professor Gu, the head of Sinology Department of Bonn University in Germany, is the middleman who wants to take a shortcut to win the Nobel Prize.
According to media analysis, in this "Golden Gate" incident, Gu Bin collected at least about $400,000 in "agency fees". However, due to the premature exposure of the donation scandal, Zhang did not win the Nobel Prize as expected last year. The reason why Gu Bin nominated Zhang as a candidate for the Nobel Prize does not rule out that there are other factors and considerations besides his work "A man with lofty ideals".
Zhang, a young mainland writer, is one of the most controversial writers in China after Li Ao and Wang Shuo. His series of articles "Ugly Geography", which sharply criticized the bad atmosphere in China provinces, were well received by Chinese and foreign media and aroused strong repercussions in the western world. Zhang's works "approximate to western aesthetic standards" are generally regarded by cultural critics as one of the main reasons for winning the Nobel Prize nomination.
