from the UKTelegraph.

Chinese author Mo Yan today won the Nobel Literature Prize for writing that mixes folk tales, history and the contemporary, the Swedish Academy announced....

 some chinese bloggers are scoffing, since he has been so bland and tends to tell stories to please the Emperor, not make him uncomfortable

but then there is this:

His latest novel, 2009's "Frog", is considered his most daring yet, due to its searing depiction of China's "one child" population control policy and the local officials who ruthlessly implement it with forced abortions and sterilisations.
The heroine of the novel is a midwife who is an enthusiastic advocate of such practices.
But she later breaks down in remorse after a drunken hallucination in which she is attacked by thousands of frogs whose croaks are the wails of the babies she has aborted.

A lot of people in the west hate Catholics because we insist that the children they destroy in the womb are children...so they lash out and insist we approve of their actions, saying that any guilt in the mother is only because of our propaganda.

But when I worked in pscyhiatry, one of our patients was a Russian immigrant who suffered hallucinations of a crying child. The Russian speaking psychiatrist caring for her told me that she was mourning the child she aborted, and that such depressive psychoses were common in that country.
