Nie Hualing's International Writing ProjectThe International Writing Project was officially launched by Nie Hualing and her husband, Paul Angor, in 1967. The plan was to provide a platform for writers from all over the world to share their stories and culture.
In the early days of its establishment, Nie Hualing invited sixteen writers to participate, and it quickly attracted the attention of many Chinese and international writers. Since 1979, the project has gradually expanded its influence and become an important platform for global literary exchanges. In this project, not only did Chinese writers participate, but they also actively introduced writers from different countries and cultural backgrounds. A large number of famous writers, such as Bai Xianyong, Lin Huaimin, Mo Yan, etc., had participated in the project. The American writers who later won the Nobel Prize in Literature, such as Ceslaw Milosz, Toni Morrison, and the Turkish writer Orhan Pamukh, were also "guests" of the project.
Nie Hualing's International Writing Plan had a profound impact on China writers, which was reflected in the vision, direction, and depth of their creation. It opened up the possibility of being international, allowing contemporary China writers to experience the real charm of foreign cultures through their daily lives, not just on paper. For example, it had a profound impact on the establishment of the writers 'class at the University of Wu Han, and some of the basic ideas of the class were influenced by it.
