"I think the reason why I could win the(40)Ais that my works present lives with unique Chinese(41)C,and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of(42)Dhuman beings,which goes beyond differences of nations and races,"Mo said to Chinese journalists.Mo also said many(43)Carts originated from his hometown,such as clay sculpture,paper cuts,traditional new-year paintings,have(44)Aand influenced his novels.

Since it was announced on Monday that 84-year-old Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win the international prize,her former home in the old town of Ningbo,Zhejiang province,has attracted visitors,especially parents and their children-even though it is not open to the public.
The house,which is for sale,is part of a complex of 37traditional buildings,including several city-and district-level cultural relic preservation sites,that have been transformed into a high-end art and commercial zone.
Tu won the prize for developing a lifesaving malaria drug,artemisinin,a staple of traditional Chinese medicine,which has helped save millions of lives across the globe.
"There are continually parents taking their children,from infants in strollers to college students,to take photos in front of Tu's former home.Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock,"said a sales person surnamed Zhao,from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co.
Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei,who was on a trip to Ningbo,took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday.
"Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers.Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities is a way to inspire them to study harder,"Xu said.
Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012.
Tourists started visiting Mo's former home in rural Gaomi,Shandong province,in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize.Some even plucked the radishes planted in front of the house and carted away some bricks.
Another site that has become a bigger tourist attraction these days because of Tu's success is the Luofu Mountain scenic area in Huizhou,Guangdong province,where Ge Hong,a TCM master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-340)picked herbs,developed herbal medicines and wrote the classic Manual of Clinical Practice and Emergency Remedies.
After winning the Lasker Award in the United States in 2011,Tu said she and her team were inspired by Ge's theory to solve the puzzle in getting artemisinin(青蒿素) from the herb Artemisia annual,also known as sweet wormwood.
A garden and a monument on Luofu Mountain celebrate Ge's dedication.The mountain is home to 3,000species of plants,including more than 1,200with medicinal uses.
