Chinese novelist Gao Xingjian won the Nobel Prize in literature Thursday for his ``bitter insights and linguistic ingenuity, which has opened new paths for the Chinese novel and drama.''
Gao, 60, is a political refugee and playwright whose works have not been performed in China since his work ``The Other Shore'' was banned in 1986, the Swedish Academy said. He left China a year after and lives in Paris, the citation said.
It described him as a novelist, translator, dramatist, director and critic.
Gao is the first Chinese writer to receive the prestigious literature prize.
