Abstract

After Herta Muller won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature and Mo Yan won the 2012 Nobel Prizefor Literature winner, these two writers have attracted a lot of controversy. The controversy focused on narrow nationality on literary content performance and political themes. Nationality is the essence of a writer to live on and the theme presents the ideology of its work. Nobel Prize awards has its own criteria in the scale for the Nationality and subject tendentiousness, Herta Muller and Mo Yan's Nationality and political themes are not complementary, it is a contradictory unity in the pattern of text, which is due to the complexity of the thought and the local identity of the writers.
