The Nobel Prize in Literature was an international literary award that recognized outstanding novels from all over the world. Due to the strict selection criteria and process of the Nobel Prize in Literature, the results were not entirely determined by the work itself, but were also influenced by cultural, historical, and political factors. Therefore, the results of the selection were not announced every year.
In 2012, China was nominated by the judging committee for the award. However, because Mo Yan published works such as Big Breasts and Fat Buttocks in 2013, which were deemed to not meet the selection criteria for outstanding literary works by the selection committee, his path to winning the award was interrupted.
Even so, he had already become a literary figure in China. Whether there would be a China in the future still needed to be assessed based on factors such as the quality of his works and cultural influence.
The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded for literary achievements, while singers were a form of art. Therefore, a singer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature did not represent the value of their literary works.

For example, the Soviet singer Bob Dylan was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature for his album 'Infidels' and song 'The Times They Are a-Changin'. In addition, British singer Amy Winehouse was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2017 and won many awards for her music and poetry.
Although some singers were nominated or awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for their music, this did not mean that their works were equivalent to the Nobel Prize in Literature.
