Mo Yan is a winner of Nobel Prize in Literature. In June this year, he had a feeling when he saw Biyan Building. Biyan Building is a very old Hakka (客家) round house in Huizhou, Guangdong. He wrote a 10-character upper couplet (上联). Then he asked writers all over the world to write the lower couplet.

Four months later, the contest announced the winners. There were six good works, including first, second and third prizes. Song Kejia won the first prize. He is a 21-year-old young man. He got 100,000 yuan in prize money.

Song’s mother took the prize for him. Besides the money, Mo Yan gave a handwritten calligraphy work. Song said he would give half of the prize money to the “Mo Yan Tongxin” public welfare project. It helps children with heart disease.

Professor Ouyang Jianghe is a famous poet. He works at Beijing Normal University. He said Song’s work was a rare perfect match.
