Cao Wenxuan (simplified Chinese: 曹文轩; traditional Chinese: 曹文軒; pinyin: Cáo Wénxuān; born January 1954) is a Chinese novelist, best known for his works of children's literature.[1][2][3][4][5] Cao is the vice president of the Beijing Writers Association.[3][4][5] He is also a professor and doctoral tutor at Peking University.[3][4][5] His novels have been translated into English, Dutch, French,[6] German,[7] Italian,[8] Japanese, Korean,[9] and Serbian.[10]

Biography

Cao was born in 1954 in Yancheng, Jiangsu.[3][11] He entered into the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of Peking University in 1974 and started to publish novels in 1983.[3][11][12]

Hans Christian Andersen Award

In April 2016 Cao was announced as the winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award for children's writing being the first Chinese author to ever receive the award.[13] The International Board on Books for Young People's jury, announcing the award, said Cao "writes beautifully about the complex lives of children facing great challenges. He is a deeply committed writer, whose own difficult childhood has been deeply influential on his writing in which there are no easy answers."[14] He received the award in Auckland, New Zealand, on 20 August 2016.[15] His acceptance speech was titled "Literature: Another Form of Housebuilding" (文学：另一种造屋).[16]

Cao's Dingding and Dangdang (2012) (Illustrated by Zhenjun Liu) series follows the life of two brothers with Down syndrome living in a small rural Chinese village. This series was selected as one of IBBY’s Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities 2015.[17][18][19]
