A Chinese literary award honors foreign writers whose stories stand out in telling universal themes. Xing Yi reports.
German writer David Wagner this month became the first foreign writer to win a cash prize from a Chinese literary award.
The author won $10,000 from the Taofen Foundation, named after celebrated Chinese correspondent and publisher Zou Taofen (1895-1944), for his novel, Leben, upon topping the 21st Century Best Foreign Novel of the Year 2014 list.
