Who will go to this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine?
The Lasker Prize is an important award in the field of medicine and has always been known as the "Nobel vane".

The Special Achievement Award in Medical Sciences was awarded to Peter Bobst of the Netherlands Cancer Institute for his bold exploration of new areas in the laboratory and groundbreaking discoveries in many fields.
Chinese writer Yan Xue became a favorite candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature
Every year, the Nobel Prize in Literature attracts a lot of attention. This year, Chinese writer Yan Xue became one of the favorites for the Nobel Prize in Literature. British betting site Nicer Odd's Nobel Prize in Literature winning odds list shows Chinese writer Lingxue topping the list.
Yan Xue's real name is Deng Xiaohua, born in Changsha in 1953, a native of Yunyang, Hunan Province. In China, she is a representative of avant-garde literature, and Yan Xue was called "China's Kafka" by Nobel Prize judge Ma Yueran. The famous American writer and critic Susan Sontag praised her as "China's best writer". Japanese translator Naoko Kondo also founded the "Snow Residue Research Association" in Tokyo.
Most of her works have been translated and introduced by overseas literary circles, and she is the Chinese female writer whose works have been translated and published the most abroad. Since his first novel was published in 1985, he has written seven million words to date. His representative works include "Barefoot Doctor", "Water Town", "Huangni Street", "Wuxiang Street" and so on. Her novels have become literary textbooks for Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and other universities in the United States, as well as Tokyo Chuo University and Kokugakuin University in Japan, and her works have been selected for many times in the world's excellent novel anthologies in the United States and Japan. Snow has been translated overseas in dozens of countries including Japan, the United States, Sweden, Italy, France, Germany, Russia, South Korea, and Vietnam.
The soaring popularity of Snow may be due to her novel "New Age Love Story", published this year. The Swedish version of the book has been published in Sweden by the famous Swedish translator Anna Chen, who has translated more than 40 works, including previous Swedish translations of Mo Yan's main works.
"New Century Love Story" describes a legendary love story, telling the strange emotional history of several women such as Niu Cuilan, Asi, Jin Zhu, Long Homesickness, etc., although they are lighted by the world, they deal with it calmly, and use it as a cultivation of "sanctification". And the men who have been associated with them are either lowly or behaving grotesquely, but without exception, they are also persistently walking on the road to "holiness". The characters in the story, each of whom knows what they want, are desperately pursuing the same thing with little hope.
After the publication of "New Century Love Story" in Sweden, it set off a "residual snow boom", which was reported by many local media. In fact, the novel was recently shortlisted for the Swedish Award for Best Literature in Translation. In addition, her works have been selected in many world-famous anthologies of excellent novels. As the date of the Nobel Prize in Literature approaches, expectations for the prize are growing.
In addition to the residual snow, Japanese writer Haruki Murakami and Australian writer Gerald Mernan are also popular candidates for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature.
In recent years, the Nobel Prize in Literature has been unpopular from time to time. For example, the 2016 winner was legendary rocker Bob Dylan, which the Swedish Academy called "expanding the frontiers of literature." Later, in 2017, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Japanese-British writer Kazuo Ishiguro; In 2018, affected by the involvement of the Swedish Academy in sex scandals and other incidents, the promulgation of the Nobel Prize in Literature that year was delayed; The 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature was announced on October 10, 2019, at the same time as the 2019 Nobel Prize, with Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk and Austrian writer Peter Handek.
