According to Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, on June 10, local time, the Art College of Sweden University announced the Nobel Prize in Literature winners of 20 18 and 20 19, namely Polish writer Olga Tokachuk and Austrian writer Peter Hendek. Speaking of winning the prize, "surprise" and "courage" are two key words chosen by the two writers. It is reported that Tokachuk said it was a "surprise" and she felt happy and proud when she learned the news of her award on 10.

She said that the Swedish Literature Institute chose itself and Hendrick as a compliment to China and European literature. It is reported that Tokachuk was born in Poland on 1962. She graduated from the psychology department of Warsaw University. He is considered as one of the most influential novelists in contemporary Poland and a psychologist. 1987, Tokachuk appeared in the literary world with a collection of poems "City in the Mirror" and published "People in Books" successively.

Knowing that he won the 20 19 Nobel Prize in Literature, Hendrick was surprised that the Swedish Academy made a "very brave" choice. Hendrick was born in Canton, Australia on 1942. He is also a novelist, poet, screenwriter and film director. No matter in which field, he is considered as one of the most important writers in contemporary German literature.

While studying law at Graz University, Handke published his first novel Bumblebee, and then dropped out of school to concentrate on literary creation. It is reported that Jelinek, an Austrian writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2004, once said: "Handke is a living classic of German literature. He is more qualified to win the Nobel Prize in Literature than I am. He is called "three highs" by the media: high importance, high popularity and great controversy.
