Between the 4th and 6th of December, the newly established Chinese-Nordic Cultural centre at Nanjing University will host a symposium for the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Knut Hamsun.
Some of the main topics for the symposium include;
Hamsun in China and East Asia
Hamsun and Chinese writers: Comparative perspectives
Contemporary approaches to Hamsun
The Nobel Prize laureate in literature Knut Hamsun might not be as well-known internationally as Henrik Ibsen. His works however, had a big impact on some of Chinas most renowned authors, Lu Xun and Mao Dun.
